They are impressive mainly because they reflect real art of timeless value, the true ascents of human soul. Moreover, apart from the Bruegel's painting, the "Babel Tower" is a well-known biblical myth of deep symbolic meaning. I read it as a warning for humankind to respect the limits and not to cross them recklessly.Christian_Soldier wrote: So is it a mod that makes these pictures, or did you make them yourself? Because these are very impressive!
The "Tapestry" mod is being developed as a set of custom palettes derived from a chosen set of greatest masterpieces of painting. (The "Dye" mod is not suitable for this purpose). In fact there are two main parts in each particular re-creation of a painting: the design and the execution. The first one consists of making thorough research to find a reliable photo of a chosen picture -- really not as easy as you might think. However the pictures in Wiki sources are usually very professional, it doesn't necessarily mean they are suitable for making something new, a virtual picture which is not just a flat low-res rendering of a known theme, but adds some extra light to expose new dimensions and perspectives and sort of amplify the artistic message of the original work. E.g. as you may have noticed the palette I've made for "Babel" is not the original one. When you explore new artistic medium, like virtual reality or 3D voxel open world sandboxes, first of all you have to realize what the inherent properties of the new artistic tool are. Any creation must follow these characteristic to achieve artistic verity; you can't make artistic pottery out of paper.
When all this work is done, and the palette is ready, it starts to be more technical. The picture is being decomposed into all its colour components; each one then is transformed in Real Terrain into separate schematics. When all the respectve schematics related to particular colours constituting the whole picture are ready, then I assemble them together to get the final result. Quite a lot of work and a lot of precision needed :)
