I had to take a loooong, needed break after that contest.. And now I feel refreshed and ready to start modeling in Deled again! Since theres a new version out I thought I would download it and create a cool looking medieval house to test out the new screenshot functions, etc.

Everything was made from scratch and took about 7 hours. *whew*

Heres some screenshots without textures

Before I made this, I drew up a design for it and even created a little tutorial on how to design one. It's not much of a tutorial though. =/

Cheers,

Very nice. Why no shingles on the roof?

I myself have always had a hard time doing stuff from that time period. I never got cofortable with it. So I stick to modern urban settings, that's my thing I guess.

I once made a cool medival village map for VTM:R, but I deleted it by accident, it was a total fluke too. Confused

I guess it's because I never understood buildings from that era. Why the boards on the outside? And why do they always make the upper floors bigger and put those butresses for support?

Very, very nice indeed! You know I just love this stuff. I hope you'll create a few more and place them in a little scene with a skybox etc etc *hint hint* Wink

Heres a church so far.. Before I finish it up with a bunch of details, and texture it, I need some criticism.. Go ahead, don't hold anything back.. Cool

I'm not finished with all the doors and windows yet to let you know. Also it's going to be used with real-time rendering.

Great work indeed Handless! You know I love this stuff. Wink

Possible improvements: create two large cubicle towers at the front of the church. They'll complement the tower that's in the back.

Reminds me of a Catholic Church I was in at Culumpit, Luzon Island, Philipines minus the tower and parapits.

I get the feeling of Greek Orthodox from this model, spires I think does it for me.

BTW, nice model!

Thx guys.

If you have any comments on how it could be better, now is the time. Personally, I think it's a bit crowded.. Probably going to shave off a few things so other's stand out.

@Jeroen
Thats a good idea. I might make them seperate from the church, but still 'part' of the church somehow, if you know what I mean. I'll expiriment with it and see what I come up with.

Details! Never enough of those. Add some flat board walkways along behind the parapits and matching arched doorways if the upper structure is going to be viewable. External buttresse's on the ground floor was common on larger structures such as churches, cathedrals.

The church would have been the focus of the community in those days. Most had cemeteries within the church grounds and courtyards for the faithful to wander around in. Attached buildings such as priest/monk quarters, stables, etc. Consider a church in those times as a seperate city with all the trimmings required for it to function

Did I mention gargoyles? Very Happy

Hope this gave you some ideas.
