umm. the buildings here are just placeholder for me so i know where everything is, the huge building in the left is just the mages tower, the houses are chedinhal houses.

Oh right. I didn't recognise it all made out of black lines like that....

By the way, I love that "cracked texture". Very nicely done.

Ahh look i dont blame ya man. I didn't place em there for eye-candy its just for my personal placement and scale ratio. And yeah next time ill get a render of it, no wireframe.

Still, that's great progress you're making. These are going to look fantastic once you get them in-game.

By the way did you check out the links I sent for the textures?

yeah of-course, i've even added it to my master texture pile. They will help.

ok... its 5am.... i cant sleep. I guess this will do this to me after 5 cans of Red bull. Thats bad

Anyway. I decided to give it a temporary texture. 2 versions. which do you like?

OR


This is mearly a test. I need some feed back on it so i can upgrade it.

AMAZING!The textures are REALLY cool!

I think the first one is better,but that's my own idea.

Ammazing job!

Fantastic work. I really mean it.

Definitely the first texture is the best, by a long way I think.

ok good good thanks. Its just temporary so i will be moving them around here and there but, i now have a good idea how it should turn out.

Oh and by the way, if you guys finding trouble recruiting some modelers, i can also do the houses, castle, bridges and stuff like that.

Yeah,im on my way.I got 2 modeller,shewter and llamaranger.

shewter is a bit busy.So you can make the firsthold tileset.Cool!

Then i give the Crystal Tower for shewter to create it.

UPDATE



Uh, if you are having troubles looking at the picture say it so and i will take another angle.
I just want to mainly focus on the huge crystal towers.

Perfect,but you know!!

Excellent progress! As to the perspective of drawings, I'm sorry about that - I'm more an artist than an engineer. Still, it looks great. My only concern is the lack of crenelation on the walls and some of the richer buildings - it was kind of a deliberate design feature in the orginal concepts and it would be nice to see it realised. But I can't really fault you on the modelling because it's brilliant.

uhh, wait, not so fast, ive done the crenelations. I think ive hiddin it and just forgot to unhide it before i took the picture.

Amazing work Busterwolf!!

Great job. The walls, towers, and gatehouses all look fantastic.

ok thanks very much, well you know what now right?
Well right now what i have to do is just piece the walls as tiles,export buildings, make homes, build it up in CS and were basically half-way there. I will provide everything. I am just showing you guys how it will end up.

Do you guys want to see a small segment of this model in game?

Sure!I wanna see!

BEHOLD

MY New teaser Pictures of this monolithic structure.





What do you think guys? did i do a good job or what?

Dont Mind the collision, i forgot to set the collision setting.

That looks amazing!

The only thing I would advise would be to vary the texture a bit more on the arch over the doorway - at the moment something doesn't look quite right about it, but I can't put my finger on what it is....

Perhaps its the perspective of the screenshots? I don't know. Perhaps if you made the texture underneath the arch slightly darker, or put some decoration around the doorway?

But don't let that discourage you - this thing looks fantastic and once the rest of Firsthold is finished, from what I've seen of your work so far it will be awesome!

Simple Perfect!Per-Fect!

Yeah ive seen the texture of the doorway, i cant seem to get it right. In max i set a specific texture on it same as the pillers and when i exported it turned out diferent. It was odd.

Oh and uh does anyone here know how to apply transparency in textures, i did it but it didn't seem to work.

Oh yeah agian, thanks. it should look much better with all of its pieces attached and in-game.

Greetings and Salutations good folks.

Im back to show you what i have doooone.
But first, the reason why i didn't post is that i was simply to busy playing bethesda's new astonishing game Fallout 3. This game is ABSOLUTLY Astonitiong, amazing and alluring.
Here is a some screenshots of the game, BUT first, my progress.
I have added pillers close to the walls, do you like it?


Here are the Fallout 3 screen, I encourage you all to get it. If rpg isn't your style...

Your work is absolutely cool!Looks great so far!

I don't know the Fallout games,never played with them.

I can't wait for the TES : V!

Those walls look great! Are you going to add a crystal texture to the spikes at the tops of the guard towers?

Oh, and the Fallout 3 screens look awesome too.
