Manti Utah 1888

Historic Temple Video Series- Manti Utah Temple (1888)

Being caught up with the Temple render releases for now, I am back to my Historic Video series. Today takes us forward to the year 1888, and for the first time, the Manti Utah Temple. the video here shows the temple as it would have looked when completed, as well as other buildings representing the support structures built to help the workers in the construction effort. Historic photos show that these buildings remained on site for many years after the dedication.

Manti Utah Temple update

Today I worked on the Manti Utah Temple. From the south side, where I usually provide my renders from, there is absolutely nothing different. You would not know I did anything. From the North Side, look at the progress I made on the Annex:

Compare it to the previous render I showed from here:

I needed to drop the height of it, pull in the trim above, and drop the grounds on the north end by the entrance. The entryway is now shorter as well. Windows are in, as are the blinds behind it.

Friday at Manti Utah

It may not look like I did much, but I did. I have a new texture for the retaining wall, was white before. Also there I have finished most of the west tower.

Mostly I started in on the Annex. Like St George and Logan, Manti has an attached annex on the north side of the temple. unlike those two temples, where the annex is heavily influenced by styles of the 70’s when they were added, Manti’s annex is appropriate to the period the temple was originally built. This means it looks fantastic, but will take longer than a few hours to throw together.

Saturday at Manti Utah

It might not look like much progress, but trust me, there are all kinds of fiddly little details that were not there before. Also some improvements to the textures, especially the windows, which are now beginning to have blinds. Crenelation are in on the first portion of the retaining wall, the tower tops are more accurate, and buttresses are now everywhere.

Here is last months render:

And here is the new one:

Manti Utah Temple – 2011/07/05

This is a fantastic Photoshoot, probably my all-time favorite for the Manti Utah Temple. I started late afternoon, in a breaking rainstorm, with rainbows, and finished up early evening, with the lights on on the temple.
