Well, at least it doesn't go with the lighting in the room... And maybe you could add a little bit of some border on either side...

Well, the main problem is that your ark isn't in perspective. A shape like this would be more suitable:

You'd want the sides to be a little more parallel to the edges of your room, & obviously you can add the detail, then it should look a little more believable

BlackMan890 · Sun 08/08/2004 16:48:29

maybe i should put something else there....

Unless that doorway is a mouse hole, the 'ark' is HUGE. It should probably be shorter than the doorway and way thinner. Also, I wouldn't call it an ark, unless it's supposedly a chest that contains the 10 commandments (there is only one ark), or it's a boat.

Yeah, that's what I meant too

I did another edit of this picture just quick, to add the lighting to the Arc, and added a tiny bit of perspective to the roof of it:

Not that big, it's nice to know you're using my walls though

BlackMan890 · Mon 09/08/2004 15:47:35

thanks clueless3

but i need to know how you did the wall?
i tried doing the wall like you did by hand and this is what i got:

http://www.geocities.com/jnatann/cave2none.png

this is what i got...
it doesn't look like it was supposed to look like.

this ark you are talking about, contains the 10 commandments AND Moses staff

Originally an ark was just a chest, but it's no longer used in that definition except to refer to the Ark of the Covenant. (containing the 10 Commandments. The Staff of Aaron is elsewhere.)

Mephistophilis · Mon 09/08/2004 19:53:13

Actually was the Ark not full of Rubble as the Ten Commandments were Smashed?

BlackMan890 · Mon 09/08/2004 20:13:25

look moses went to the mountain to god and got the Ten Commandments.
on his way down he saw what the people did and smashed the Ten Commandments.

then he went back again to the mountain to get the Ten Commandments again
look at:

Exodus 34:1
The LORD said to Moses, "Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

and

1 Kings 8:9
There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.

plus i went to http://dictionary.com/ and searched for ark and this is what i got:

Middle English, from Old English arc, from Germanic *arca, from Latin arca, chest.

They kept other stuff in the Ark, too. Like Aaron's staff that budded and some manna, I believe.

were did you get that idea?
(this is starting do be some serios thread

)

Minimi · Tue 10/08/2004 13:13:26

euhm, no there was no manna in the ark

Well, if we are talking about the ark of Covenant, wich was in the holy of holiest place of the tabernacle.
Here are 2 pictures, made by Ilumina Gold Bible.

Cluey · Tue 10/08/2004 13:36:02

I checked Exodus, and it does say that Moses chiseled two more stones from the rock...

Minimi · Tue 10/08/2004 14:50:37

because he threw the first 2 down in the valley, because of his anger at the israelites, that they built their own god. Then he went up to get the stone tablets again.

I guess he learnt the importance of saving once and a while.

Hebrews 9:4 states: "...which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron's staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant."

After reading this post, I'm sure everyone tried to check the bible to see if he was biblically correct, p.s blackman, check your PM's, I sent you a tutorial on the walls
