Columbia South Carolina
Video and Model Details
Video
Originally built for Google Earth, this Columbia South Carolina Temple model has been overhauled and reworked in high detail for the YouTube Video. In an effort to do something different, I tried for an early morning lighting feel for this render. Not sure if I pulled it off or not. Though I do desire to do all the temples, I run out of ideas for camera movement and lighting rather quickly.
