Images of Tenochtitlan -- apologies for any cross-posts

[SIMON LEVACK]

Apologies for reproducing the whole of both messages under reply but
it's all relevant.

I was just going to say that the most vivid computer-generated images of
Tenochtitlan-Tlatelolco, including the Templo Mayor area and
particularly the conical temple of Quetzalcoatl Ehecatl, that I've ever
seen are actually in a French computer game called "Aztec: Malediction
au Coeur de la Cite d'Or".  It may be worth asking the publishers, Cryo
Interactive, for permission to use screenshots.

Good luck with the novel!

I am in a big forum called http://www.renderosity.com , which is about
CGI art (= Computer Generated Imaging) (as in many modern sci-fi movies
etc). Is there anyone in this group who might want to ask there if
anyone has or can make CGI models of old Tenochtitlanian buildings and
artefacts and gods etc? If so, could they be any use to make up
pictures for the novel?
