This was the first project I designed using only reference photos, making it one of the most time-consuming builds I’ve worked on due to the high level of architectural detail. To estimate scale, I relied on the surrounding environment and people in the images, which turned out to be incredibly helpful. I believe I came very close to capturing the structure accurately, especially the smaller shrines, which were modeled with good precision. However, looking back, I could have made the top portion of the main shrine much larger. The main dome, especially the round, bulbous section, wasn't as precise as I wanted. The top element of the dome ended up being too small in proportion to the bottom element of the dome. Because this was a miniaturized version, I was limited by the resolution and physical size constraints of my FDM 3D printer, which can only produce such small details to a certain degree. Overall, I was very happy with the result!
