The Hagia Sophia Byzantine Cathedral

[KyriakosCH]

I created this using Blender. It is a model (and render) of the Hagia Sophia (Byzantine emblematic building; medieval cathedral)

I plan to provide the way to easily (well, for the most part ) create the shapes needed for this building, in my tutorial thread on Byzantine forms, at Byzantine forms tutorial (series)

An issue with models of the Hagia Sophia is that each modeller seems to improvise partly as to the analogies… I tried to use (when it was possible) primarily photos of the existant building, and only refer to other images or architectural plans so as to make sure the depiction had the original Byzantine parts
