If you can't build out, build up. Right?

Gmanx · Nov 2005

Got ma little plot all marked out. 10x10m (4x5m squares). Think I'll model in Wings, assemble in blender. Yee-haww, time to fire up that cee-ment mixer.

aw I was getting excited to see your 5mx5m castle, looks cool

Gmanx · Nov 2005

I might still do it, just have grounds or a moat.

Ye olde extreem maykover hoame edittion, forsooth.

Yea, verily it is wont to be in exceeding wysdom and gayness!

Forsoothe, twer it better, twould be a dream!

768 tris so far. I think I'll put a few barrels, crates and maybe a hand-cart under those arches. I'll add a few alpha veggie planes too. And maybe a tattered standard flapping limply in the medieval breeze. OOhh and a moat, maybe with a drawbridge. I really need to randomise some of those 'puter strait edges too.

Gmanx · Nov 2005

No time tonight to 'rough up' all those 90 degree corners, but I'll do that on the morrow. I've got about 80 polies left for vegitation and props. The planes between the drawbridge and posts will have alpha'd chains on.

Thanks for the comments guys, and yes there's a babe in the tower - One has to have a hobby.

I dig this one

Cute castle design! I can picture a little animal crossing character living inside.

Gmanx · Nov 2005

Thanks,

Cutting my seams in Blender at the moment. This is a requirement before unwrapping the mesh with LSCM. Lots of little pieces to assemble into my 512 (*gulp

*) square map. Lots of tiling to come.

Who let 'Lame Home Makeover' get at it?

Zergxes · Nov 2005

That's awesome. The bottom half reminds me of that Eldarado Fortress (holy crap I remembered its NAME) lego set I had back in the day.

Gmanx · Nov 2005

Thanks - it's proving to be a bitch to uv map. Nearly finished though. Lots of tiling and overlaying of polies so no baked lighting for me...

Gmanx · Nov 2005

Unwrapped *phew* and started sketching and blocking in textures. I could have done a lot better with the UV map layout, but I can't afford any more time on it.

Lee3dee · Nov 2005

I know your unwrapping pain

Looks great, btw!

Gmanx · Nov 2005

Well, I got there (just about). Not enough time for a proper texture mapping job - and so much I would do differently now!!

Some fantastic work in this challenge, and plenty of entries!
