it can also be used as house.

Nice models you have here !

One crit though (and I might be wrong) :

(In the red circle) I can't imagine a brick beeing used like that for a castle wall, ie cutted out like it is on the picture.
IMO, the wall top bricks should be unique and solid ones.

and here is the guard house:
(not possible to use as house because the doors on the second floor for the defence wall, but i will make the same house but then without those doors so you can also use it as house)

edit: and here is the well:

Hah, this is going to be great! (and by the way, your modeling skills seem to have improved vastly over the last year or so)

As a suggestion (feel free to ignore): From what I can tell from the screenshots, I think the interiors could do with a bit more detail (you pulled this off really nicely with the exteriors). I totally agree with the 'no furniture' decision, but the walls/floors/ceilings could use some variation (extruded parts, texture variation, frames around the windows, ridges on the ceiling, perhaps even lights/torches/etc.)

elementrix · Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2007 10:00 am Post subject:

yes i also thought about this but i am really shooting for the very low poly in game use so that's why i decided to make the rooms a littlebit more "naked"
and if you make to much things in the walls etc. there will be less space for the furniture or otherwise you will put the furniture in front of it and then you will waste alot of poly's.

and here is the church (not sure with the stone things inside that hold the roof)

the stone/iron fence , stone/iron fence door and the stone pillar:

Well, by the looks of it, most of these pictures already have _some_ lighting included, but you can always create your own when you compose your level with it... which brings me to an interesting general question:

Do you, or do you not, include lights in the models of a modelpack?

I think you should, because they are easy enough to delete anyway, but it could easily lead to an overkill of lights if you include 16 models in a scene.

That, and the lights of the models might not fit the lighting settings of the scene, i.e. in this particular case Elementrix used very soft lighting (looks like the shadow opacity is somewhere around 50). If you'd use these models and the rest of your scene was build with a 90% shadow opacity in mind, some of these shadows might turn out to be very harsh and not what you had in mind at all...

Some of the commercial Torque modelpacks I've seen do include lights, but
a) They have portals to keep the light contained to just that model
b) Torque lightsmaps are usually so coarse that you don't notice anyway

But back to the original question: Thoughts, everyone? Smile

in myt modelpack i will include one expample so that they can see what you can do with all the house's. this example will be a different file.

all the individual house's won't have lights included but if you want them the same as i have you just look at the sample project and place them at the same place and with the same opacity.

Mr.Fletcher · Posted: Sun Jul 08, 2007 10:47 am Post subject:

Do you mean lightmaps or light objects? I'd vote against both because a) lightmaps won't probably fit to the other objects lighting and b) if you're serious with building a scene using this modelpack, you won't want your objects to be lit in the exact same way as the others. Also, as Paul said, it could lead to an overkill of lights.
