Only a few more architectural details remain before I am ready to render v9.5 of the flythrough. The big items are the grotesques from the front facade (as seen below). I don't have enough source images of these carved limestone figures, so photogrametry is not possible at this time. Instead, I used the same technique I utilized on the main entrance foliage, and mapped a single photo over a manually modeled mesh. A height map created with Materialize adds a touch of tessellation. This method creates acceptable -- albeit temporary -- results.

In addition, I completed the brick box ornaments on the rear elevations...
...and finished the wood/brick wainscot going up to the visitor's box in the gym.
 |
| These stairs were still unfinished in the previous flythrough video |
 |
| The difficulty was that the angle of the wood wainscot is 41º (not 45º, which would be easier) |
