That is a great Hall for the nords.
I like the soft roofing, and the structure looks solid,
the textures will look good on it I'm sure.

prom, it looks very curved, polycount?

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 6:50 pm

here is a pretextured version....

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 6:57 pm

polys
18000

sheeyit - if you reduce the polys, this should be an essential structure for the "metropolitan holds", for town halls or temples.

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:05 pm

here is a sample....

Majra · Post by **Majra** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:10 pm

prom that is way too many polys for this structure
The enormous and very curved structure of the mournhold temple is only 6k polys, there is no excuse for this structure to be any more than 4 - 5k

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:18 pm

it is a normal polycount for elaborate structures ...also is just 3 times a normal skaal village structure ...

Stalker · Post by **Stalker** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:21 pm

6k is a good value for this baby. I LOVE IT !!!

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:28 pm

I like it, Icarus building was 60k so

Majra · Post by **Majra** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:34 pm

yea but 3 times more is a lot prom, if you just reduced the amount of sides on your cylinders you would see drastic poly count reduction

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:54 pm

wvery cilinder has few sides about 8
i reduced tought deleting unseen faces the poly of 1000 faces...

Majra · Post by **Majra** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 7:58 pm

ok good good, every little bit that can be done, should be done

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 8:00 pm

i 'llt ry to see to delete some more , may be redoing the roof to one single streight poly ...

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 9:23 pm

i was thinking to add a dragon head as Seran suggested but we opted to make it a different mesh to be applied after ...and have a different totem for each of the holds....

BalinMinister · Post by **BalinMinister** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 9:29 pm

Hey...nice design

I see its gonna be a Nord hall...but is it like an indoor market or like a meeting house or what?

Nice idea. Make dragon, wolf, bear etc heads. I'm not aware of nordic holds totems but I would like to see all of them.

What program do you use for this stuff?

Majra · Post by **Majra** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 10:19 pm

the only program I feel should be used, 3dsmax
all others for in game meshes I feel are deficient

How do you take screenshots?!?

(I know, i know, im an idiot)

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 10:51 pm

Wow!! that is really good, but can you make the interior for it too? it looks like it would need a pretty unique interior to go with it.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Fri Jun 25, 2004 11:00 pm

Well, I dont think you should use the same mesh for each hold, but I like the totem idea. Perhaps a totem for each village?

Eraser · Post by **Eraser** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 12:50 am

Quite nice prom

The only suggestion I have would be to weather the textures a little so that it looks more natural in game. I noticed that with the dunmer pass arch. it looks a little too clean and winds up not looking 'right'

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 4:12 am

this is for a city so it has to be clean...

Garinator · Post by **Garinator** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 5:27 am

can we see some ingame screenies plz the textures are 2 grainy for me to make out...

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 1:40 pm

well is a bit early to do this couse i still have to complete texturing right the severall pieces... wich is the longest part...I will as soon as i finish it....

"this is for a city so it has to be clean..."

A city can be clean in terms of design, but you still have to weather the textures. Look at all the buildings for morrowind. They have scratches and bumps. They are also shaded so they get darker near the bottom. They are also dirtier near the bottom. Don't get lazy

I'll help you if you don't want to do it, but there's no way we'll have sparkling clean buildings in dirty skyrim.

maybe nords are very clean people

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 6:27 pm

Its not really a matter of people. Its a matter of weather and the other elements, and just making TR's new buildings not stickout amongst the orginal models.

Majra · Post by **Majra** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 6:44 pm

weathering should not be done by texture, but vertex shading

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 7:24 pm

yes i think the same i do always vertex shadings on my models , but for some reason it didnt worked for the tower of claim 4-30.....

Morden · Post by **Morden** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 8:02 pm

But doesn't vertex shading only add 'shading'. What about the details?

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 8:34 pm

what details?

prometheus · Post by **prometheus** » Sat Jun 26, 2004 9:53 pm
