Free Fantasy Architecture (New Stuff! 6/4/03)

I especially like the "of ENWorld fame" bit. I hadn't realized that 12 posts can make you famous

"Artistic licence".

Some more Friday art before I vanish for the weekend.

This is "The Gate of Songs". Legend has it that muscians and poets who pass through this gate will, for one day and one night, be able to perform above and beyond their usual talents.

(edit) I can't seem to attach drawings anymore. Anyone know what the problem is? I hit "post",it loads for a good long while, then I get a white page.

Test.

EDIT: Hmmm, it seems to work for me. If your problems continue, you might want to ask in the META forum...

(Incidentally, this is the above-mentioned "The Gates of Song" - KnidVermicious sent them to me. Thanks, Knid - I'll put them up at my site later...)

Aha! It seems to have worked this time. Here is "The Gate of Songs" in color (with our good friend the Pink Lady)

I'm going to see if this works or not. A blow up of the gate to get some of the detail. If it doesn't look good I'll delete it. I hope I'm not sucking up too much space with all these images. Is there a way to post stuff without it taking up as much space?

As long as you keep your pics under 100 jpg, you can post as many as you like.

Keep them coming, there great!

omg

Man, that's some VERY nice stuff for 3d renders... god that stuff blows my mind every time i try anything but poser. I'm a 2d man myself - photoshop is sort of the basis on which i got hired at my job. That 3d stuff... god. VERY nice.

 

[KnidVermicious]

Thanks.

I promise I'll get some more stuff up soon. I've been extremely busy lately. Can you believe my bosses are actually making me work!? Combined with my home computer completely pooping out on me I probably won't have anything until after the new year.


3D is quite a switch from 2D. I'm pretty much a 2D guy myself. We generally don't use 3D at my work and I've been experimenting, mostly. What's nice is that the rendering is still 2D, sort of. Piranesi takes a 3D model and converts it into a raster image where the pixels also have depth and material value. It's similar to Photoshop except pieces of the image "know" that they are a building, or a background, etc.

I just ran across this thread, and wow! These are excellent pics, Kid! I'm saving them to my hard drive to use later in my campaign.

What other city gates do you have planned? I'd love to see a Gate of Coin (merchant's gate) and a Gate of Scorn (for criminals, outcasts and the like).
