“By the middle of the 6th century BC the ancient city of Susa had come under the rule of Persians, whose powerful Achaemenid dynasty rapidly conquered a vast territory. Darius the Great (522-486 B.C., see the previous posts) recognized the importance of the city and its administrative role in the region and made it his lowland capital. Once again, Susa became a vital, cosmopolitan city and a centre of interchange between peoples of the Mesopotamian plain and the Iranian highlands. Darius also began a significant building operation there, which resulted in the construction of a new column hall apadana , a complex of palaces and a large eastern gate.”
I tried to piece this model together from various sources, but I mostly got inspired by the amazing paintings from Balage Balogh at archaeologyillustrated.com
I used just Blender, some Megascans textures and Botaniq trees and bushes.
Martin, this is amazing; great work! Also, I recently purchased your blender landscaping course on CG Boost Academy. Incredible value. Thanks so much for putting that together
Very nice work.
