ABSTRACT
I borrowed the design of these iconic architectural elements and built myself a kit of 3D assets in Maya. The idea was to use these to build my own religious building. While looking through reference images I came across the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi and discovered which architectural elements I needed to design my piece. I also found some Middle Eastern and Indian patterns which I wanted to include in my design. Since this was a personal project and I already had an idea of what I wanted to create in my head, I decided to skip the sketching phase and immediately jump into 3D modeling.
