Machu Picchu

Hello everyone here is my model and render of Machu Picchu a famous historical site in peru http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu.


The terrain and houses are 99% as in real life. The model is low poly(just under 14k) with decent detail. the texturing is basic but quite nice. I have submitted the .blend the blendswap and OGA (Open Game Art)

does anyone know how to get my pictures in the post and how to get the preview image in the forum topic list?

You should insert images as attachments(in form for new thread or in edit), then insert them inline. That’s all. :slight_smile:

I couldn’t insert them as images for some reason (is there a size limit?) and also as attachments

Yep, there’s a size limit, try making them 720p JPEG in Gimp and then uploading.

There is an even easier way in GIMP to have good quality 1080p renders in JPEG format. When exporting to JPEG in Gimp, set quality slider to 90 and change subsampling to ‘1x1, 1x1, 1x1 (best quality)’. Doing so you can cram a 2.5 MB 1080p PNG into a great quality JPEG for a measly 330 KB.

thanks for the help. I updated the OP and now everything is working :evilgrin: soon I will try to make a photorealistic version of this
