Might be either caffeine or urge to create...

Moved back into the kimchi jar
...just had to start putting something together again. And not to mention, for the first time, a theme on the other side of Istanbul and the Urals. Funny thing is that I'm right in the middle of doing a mid-term paper and the vision suddenly came up after a long period of nothing.

Now I wonder if I should have 4 turrets on each corner.

And no, I still haven't really figured out Blender although I think I know how to do basic vertex editing. Still using my Bronze Age technology called "Bryce 7."

Use the trusty Bryce spear to wipe down the Blending tanks!
 
Four turrets or one? If I can find a gargoyle statue somewhere, I might stick them on top of them.

That looks as if it can't really hold its own weight… some mighty cantilevers it must have.
 
More progress.

Looks like a Might and Magic castle. But better.
 
OK - so I had a whole lot of coffee and went into fiddling with Blender even though I pretty much didn't know what I was doing. Caffeine does get things done after all. :crazyeye:

Making that magatama prop Shiro requested looooong ago. At this point, still one problem - I still have no idea what I'm doing. :mischief:

the upper castle building should have different colours and clear detached volumetries

I've been experimenting with Blender so I may end up making stuff in Blender and rendering them in Bryce since I still don't really know what I'm doing. Anyway, if there's any particular architectural piece you'd like to see, post up any suggestions (just not something too complex at this time). ;)

The magatama is coming out good

How would you like it to look specifically? Some of the magatama I've seen in Korean museums resemble commas exactly, but others have a wider and flatter bottom.
 
Did a little more experimentation (after the obligatory cup of coffee, of course :coffee: ). I *think* I'm finally moving up the tech tree now.

An Uzbekistan themed city set? No idea how I'm going to do that, but it'd be crazy fun to try out.

Pictures, please. :D
 
Mixture of Persian and steppe art, I'd say.
 
The Coffee Horde has reached the gates of Tashkent!

The Horde must split at some point, southeast to Java and westwards to Volturno.

I have a Blender model for some walls and towers you might be interested in, Ogedei.
