Triforium / Arcading

Now I have a good base for the aisle, I'm looking at moving into the triforium tier, also known as the gallery.

Unfortunately Ely cathedral won't let you go up there to take pictures from above but I got some reference images from below which are OK. My main focus for this section is to get the arcading in front of the arch opening correct as well as make sure that the pier and standard column mirror and align correctly with the ground level.



I'm happy with how the arcading turned out. It took a few attempts at different way I could make it but I ended up using the already made arch and scaling it down and removing some unnecessary geometry.

The arcading is actual separate from the main mesh but joined to the object group. I've kept it this was so it would be easy to change or alter later on, say if I want to add a broken / damaged pillar in its place.

I believe I've translated the look and style of the front triforuim well, based on the reference images that I collected.
