Arch - Prototype

Now I had the pier and pillar in place and to the correct scaling, I was looking at the arch that joins them together and looking carefully at any differences between the pier and column arch joint that may cause me issues with creating the asset modularity.

The Pier is slightly wider than the standard pillar and the top of the pier has extra decorative details, however to accommodate the modular design I have created both of them to fit within a set area so I should be able to use the same arch end for both columns without any issues.

In Fig 1 you'll see a few blue box's. This was used in conjunction with the grid to provide me with a reference scale to 5ft  which is the scale issued with the reference images but then translated that into meters once in 3DS Max.

In Fig 2 I have added the top of the pillars and continued the outer decorative pillars on both the pier and standard column onto the arch wall face.
