Is that CryEngine by any chance? I think I recognize the grass models, although it's hard to tell.
If so - you will have a lot of fun making a snowy environment to go along with this model.
Great model, although you might consider increasing the size of your roof texture. The tiling makes it damn hard to look at. Shit makes me dizzy :poly124: It's almost like on of these optical illusions.

nah, its 3ds max scanline :P
i suppose i failed to convey the scale of the building. the original building is 80 meters long, and therefore has a shit ton of those roof tiles.
does this break up the tiling any? i added a few stains here and there.

I think so. It breaks up the tiling quite well, without seeming overly-stained or dirty. Personally, I'd like to see some more of the building itself - maybe a low angle looking up from closer to ground level so we get some idea of the rest of the architecture, plus you could get some nice lighting effects through the foliage.

Good work!
this is pretty much the whole building. the walls are covered with mounds to isolate and keep the heat inside, and over time the mounds grow with grass and bushes.
here's a pic of the building i based the model off:
i've taken some artistic liberties though, and mixed and matched with the borgund stave church architectural features, such as the dragon heads, and the shills running the whole length of the roof.
I think you've done pretty well, given the reference you posted. I wasn't expecting the building to be that low to the ground, but now that we see it is, I guess I'm left wanting more. Seems like a whole lot of roofing, but not much else. If it were my scene, I might have used that roof on another building maybe, or taken a little more artistic license with the building itself.
its a great hall from around 1000. during this time, most buildings were dug down into the ground, with a roof covered in earth and grass. the only buildings (that we know of) that were built above ground level is the stave churches.unlike the longhouse which i've made, they were built on top of a rocky fundament, prohibiting the staves from rotting the most amazing building is the wooden stave church borgund:
this church has remained standing since the end of the 12th century, which is incredible for a wooden structure. it pretty much looks exactly like it did 800 years ago, except for some minor details.
and yeah i wanna model that one too. but later.
i started on the interior of the great hall:
this is going to be the feasting area.
Ooh yeah, stavkirks are awesome! I wanted to model one someday too.
Did you know a death metal guy, "Burzum", from Norway burned some of those down? I think including one of the oldest ones in Norway?
What an ass, they are ancient and incredible works of art.

Didn't he get stabbed to death in prison by someone from a rival band or something?
Anyways, fascinating building - really amazing craftsmanship. A solid start to your interior, can't wait to see this finished with some dramatic lighting.

Cool stuff in this thread.
didn't know that, but doing some digging, it was this one:
fantoft stavkirke in bergen. it was built in 1150.
it was rebuilt after the fire.
and yeah its disgusting when people destroy historic and unique works like this.

this is where it gets complicated, who defines whats history and unique? i totally agree but see no huge difference in the destruction of the Bastille in Paris or the Palace of the Republic in Berlin, time goes on and with it go historic buildings, thats just the way it is

nice work on the longhouse btw
imo, the older and more historic a building is, the more irreplaceable it becomes, and as such, the value of it increases, as it becomes a window into our past, instead of "just another building".
and part of what makes historic buildings more valuable is that they won't last forever.
of course, it helps that you have a general interest in history as well.

Ive seen this church burning picture before? Didnt Burzum burn this down! Love live Burzum!
This is very good, I was going to make some viking buildings myself but postponed it. Can we see some wireframes?Is the whole roof geometry ( i mean the tiles and stuf)
And where is the roasted boar in the hall :P
Replies
any chance the interior is ready to be seen too?
the environment is cool, but if it were snowy it'd be that much more viking
well, there is a real one in lofoten, norway, and they arrange midwinter parties there as well
i'll be doing the interior later.
If so - you will have a lot of fun making a snowy environment to go along with this model.

Anyway, it looks much better now. If you plan on bringing it in-game, then you can reduce the tiling even more by using decals.
Although you can get rid of it by adding some nice shadows - trees would be perfect for that. They would also help you convey the size.

Great work btw, hope you get to doing Borgund some day, been there over a dozen times and it´s f´in amazing
