I'm looking for some pictures of the Great Temple on Yavin IV. Or the Rebel Base as it's otherwise known.<BR>The only real pic I can find is the one as the heroes are being driven into the hanger.<P> Image <P>I need pics of the whole thing or whatever's out there. So top, back and front really.<BR>It can be scans, diagrams, comics, snippets from the film. Anything really!<P>Please if you can help post a link here to the image/site or send me an Email.<BR>Thanks!

Outside the temple, this probably won't be of much helf either, or it may be..<P>------------------<BR>I'll do virtually anything to ensure that the Alliance topples the Empire.<p>[This message has been edited by Ace Antilles (edited 04 March 2002).]

The Battlegrounds demo has a nice version of it at the very end of the trial mission. Just switch the resolution to lowest to get the biggest view. That is actually how it's supposed to look. I'd post a screen, but I deleted the demo.

<s>I'll see what I can find, assuming I can figure out how to spell the place's name Image</s><P>UPDATE: It's not Chichen Itza. It's Tikal. I'm on the track now. I think the big temple is called Temple IV and so far all I've found are pictures taken FROM Temple IV. Like this one:<P>Image<P>Look familiar?<p>[This message has been edited by Nute Gunray (edited 27 October 2001).]

Thanks Nute but it's a little small. Image<P>JC that's great! Just what I wanted.<BR>I never knew it was round either. But if you look at mine and Taskeen's pic you can just see it beginning to curve.<P>Just to clarify I'm looking for outside pics only. Not any of the inside areas. Thanks. Image<P>Dec if you can have a look through your photo album and get past the Baby pics it would be a big help! Image E-mail or post if you have some. Whichever's easier.

The picture I posted was the same shot out of the top of the pyramid that was used for the Falcon arriving at Yavin IV Image<P>After a through search of pictures of Tikal, there was not a single ACTUAL pyramid, either excavated or unexcavated, that was large enough to have served as the Rebel base. It's my belief that they used a partial excavated one as the basis for a matte painting.<p>[This message has been edited by Nute Gunray (edited 31 October 2001).]

Ok we need some <B>help</B> here. Image<BR>What we need is someone to make an opt of the <B>Yavin temple</B> exterior.<BR>Originally Darksaber was going to be making it but he can't do that now.<P>So we need a pretty simple (not 2000 faces!) opt to use in the Battle Of Yavin Shipset.<BR>So far the best pictures have been from Galactic Battlegrounds. JC posted some good pictures but I lost them. So if anyone has the game and can take a screenshot from that level it would be great. Image<P>So any nice modellers out there that want to help?

Hey that looks good Vince, thanks! Image<BR>You can put some more faces on it if you wish. I just don't want people going overboard. Image<P>I think that the roof needs to be wider? Difficult to tell but it just seems a little small. Not quite so steep too?<P>About the hangar. Yes if it could have a hangar opening to land in please. Like the LT Cal or other ship. Just an opening which a texture could go into. See the top picture.<BR>Great start thanks a lot!

It looks good, but the great temple looks like it should have at least 8-10 sides on it. You can tell by the angle, it has to be at least an octacgon, or the sections would have a much more noticable turn.

Right finally had some time to go into Battlegrounds and get some pics!<BR>This game has the best offical picture anywhere I think. I never seem to get anywhere in the levels though? Image<P> Image <P>Shows how round it is, how many levels it has and a good source to base textures off.<P> Image <P>So your model is not bad but needs a few changes please. Thanks.
