Ancient Harbor

This is a companion piece to the Market Place I did a few posts back.  Several people have asked me which ancient seaport it is, and well, a little bit of all of them.  Caesarea and Ephesus are the two I found the most reference/ruin pictures of.  We did have a professor stop by the office and he asked me this question, and after a few more very pointed questions he said "I've been studying ancient seaports for 30 years."  - Great, if I would have asked him for his opinion instead of trying to think back to what I just said wondering if I made myself look like a dummy I could have stamped a "seal of approval" on it.  Oh well.

Set of 4

I originally built this table for one shot, then during our last project I reused it to save some time.  To keep with tradition I decided for our current project I could do a few modifications and use it again.  Granted the last one got a bit more elaborate, but it is still the same table, scrolls, map and lighting setup.  I modified the scene by swapping textures and moving the pieces around, but all in all its the same stuff.
