As an assignment I had to model the Dome tower of the Saint Nicolaas church in Amsterdam. For references a classmate and I went to Amsterdam to take pictures of the church after we decided it would be a better way to see how the tower would seem like from different angles, it also provided a more interactive way for the assignment by making 
it at the same time an opportunity for us to go to Amsterdam. 

So by using my camera and a optic lens to take nice shots from various directions and distances we made multiple pictures from where I could start to model the dome tower. 

Photo references:

Based on these photos I started modelling. 

I started with the base  of the dome from wich i kept building layers to the top. 
This process made multiple object wich would later be combined.


At around the end of modelling I came to the conclusion That there where to many polys and had to start cutting things out. I started with deleting the extra things such as pillars and other unnecessary stuff, this saved me a lot of polys. I aswell deleted all the polys on the inside and the ones that where not visible. 
The end model contains 4372 polys, wich would make 8744 tris. 

The end result 

Total Tri count :    8744
Diffuse map    :    1024 x 1024
Speculair map:    1024 x 1024 

I have changed some of the textures, because some of them didnt align with the rest. 
So I altered the colour,contrast and even some of them entirely. 

The End result after some alterations.
