Edit: Fixed some overlapping edges.
I'm considering trying to draw the lines on the gems in the way someone would trace out the shape of a constellation. But it may be difficult to make the right connections. Anyone else up to the challenge?
Nice... but in case you hadn't noticed, the lines in the original images don't even line up.
For starters, the angle of each gem-constellation is only 20 degrees. There are 12 of them, so combined they add up to 240 degrees, only 2/3 of a full circle.
Second, the lines don't even intersect the rounded part at a right angle! That makes it impossible for it to be a circle with "spokes" coming out.
Lastly... I'm not sure yet, but I don't even think the rounded part
is a circle. I'm checking on that now.
In any case, if something like that were important, they'd have made the geometry correct. Since they didn't, I'm betting it's just for show, and the important part is the gem-stars.
Actually, the angles go in 25 degree increments for the two statues in between the 0 and 90 degree, etc., positions.
Also, it's not a perfect rendition, but I do believe it goes in the shape of a circle because that is how the statues are positioned.
"In case you hadn't noticed," ... well, I'm not blind or stupid. Ignore the lines of the paneling. Like I said, it is not a perfect rendition and it's a bit difficult to know the exact dimensions of the ceiling. I was already working on a very large canvas of 1500 x 1500 pixels and was scared to increase more for the sake of loading time.
And the gem-stars are the important part, but it's always a good idea to get the perspective as if you were in the room and looking up yourself. Anyone can look at each 300 x 300 pixel image of each ceiling tile piece-by-piece if they want, but I took an extra ten minutes to construct a rough image of how it would appear altogether. I like to see the big picture, personally, as opposed to tiny bits and pieces.
