I need help with the stairs on this piece.



The side section of the stairs, and the foot of them, doesn't line up quite right. Can someone help me out?

well see, the problem with those stairs is that those aren't authentic Mayan stairs. Mayan are supposed to be steep and narrow

Okay,so you say the edit is on the left, but I see some fancy stuff going on on the right...explain to me which stairs I should be using?

I think your stairs looks a bit steep, from pictures I've seen, it seems they stretch out farther from the base in the bottom.

@Hipshot: I understand they are really steep. That's for an architecturally good reason. See, the Mayans sacrificed constantly: all day, every day, to satisfy their gods. In an effort to make it as efficient as possible, they did not make someone collect the decapitated heads, and, by effect, the headless bodies. Instead, they made their stairs for the sacrificial temple extremely steep, so that when the heart and head was removed from the body, they just drop the head down the stairs, and roll the body right after it. If the stairs were not narrow, then that would not work. Oh, and your picture doesn't work. Try again?

@jalonso: Thanks for clearing that up. I was not aware that they were both different suggestions. That's what was confusing me. In any case. I used the stairs you did on the left, and it worked perfectly. Now, I can still use my isometric perspective, and keep my sanity without using that dreadful line on the right. @_@

Thanks for the help from both of you guys.

Seems like a really tough job having to kill and throw people all days. I just thought the stairs seemed to steep compared to the rest of the pyramid, too bad that picture didn't work, try this instead.

@Airstyle: that looks good to me!

I not sure why. I haven't been getting that feel at all (mainly because I'm not sure of the "asian" feeling, but I've been using this picture as a reference. As you can see it hangs overhangs on it, rather ornate as well. I will admit that my colors have not been that precise on the replication of this temple, but I've been trying to stick to a palette that I've previously created so I can test it out. So far, so good, but I think I may have too many oranges in it XD.



SSSSSSSHHHHHHH!!! I won't tell if you won't... XP
I'll fix it later. Thanks for pointing that out to me. I actually have another option. The body bar, as I name it, or the "yellow part", as you name it, could be hidden by the rail, like it would be on the other side from the reverse viewing of the temple. Hmmm....now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I want to change it now...Anybody else feel the same way as Hipshot?

I thought it looked a bit more asian because of the overhangs, I've never seen that in mayan buildings before. But then again, I don't know much about other cultures and their architecture =)

Anyhow, seen this?
