Transcription: Modelling Update 4

Added Temples for the 'Gate of Ishtar and Zagaga', as well as the temples in the Zagaga, UV'd and added textures to all of the buildings (probably not final), swapped the positioning of tower and larger temples, as the Tower sitting directly in front of the courtyard's gate was odd. (It doesn't explicitly state where the courtyards were situated, the Tower is still on the West side. The courtyards are on the East so should still technically be correct)

The statue in front of the larger temple is Nebuchadnezzar, King of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. His model was based of reference images.
Another modelled statue which needs to be placed in one of the temples is Ishtar, Babylonian goddess of fertility, war, love, and sex, also based of reference images. I will plan to have a statue of Marduk, patron deity of the city of Babylon, as the 200ft erection that sits in the middle of the Kigalla and connects to the tower.

After the tower is complete I'll be adding in sunset lighting, using dynamics for the fountains and for fire torches along the walls, dotting around vegetation, and a matte painting behind.

Transcription: Modelling Update 3

Combined both courtyards, added the Kigalla to bring everything in scale and laid the foundations for the temples inside the Kigalla.

Few more buildings need to be completed before I can dedicate solely towards the Tower's construction. Specifically, the six temples that lead from the Court of Ishtar and Zagaga. Also various objects need to be added into the courtyard to make it look less empty, eg, gardens, fountains.

Had to backtrack on this unfortunately, UV and Textures need to be redone again due to scene corruption.
