City sets

[aaglo]

Here's something I doodled. This could be a start point for the largest city - a lot of work still needs to be done. The smaller pic is in game-size.

 

[Stormrage]

Use the bigger one in-game

Seriously, can`t make out the details..

 

[Kyriakos]

It was always going to be tricky to make something gothic and huge look good in civ city scale.
I would suggest keeping the architecture, but making the buildings a lot smaller in size. That way you can magnify the details without having something too big.

 

[Quinzy]

Maybe it you "fatten" up everything. Like, take out 2/3's of the butresses, but fatten up the ones that are there. That way it won't completely blur up.

 

[aaglo]

yeah, I know the details get lost, when zoomed out. But to be frank, imperial structures are huge and gothic. I think widening & flattening the bulidings might help a bit. Plus adding some weird adeptus mechanicus buildings, hab blocks, towers and factories. Or something like that.

 

[Kyriakos]

If i was making the set i would choose some smaller buildings anyway, since in this scale you will get nowhere with massive gothic ones. Perhaps fortified bunkers as small houses, and a gothic cathedral in the center?

 

[aaglo]

I reduced the amount and increased the size of the details. Here's a WIP of the metropol-size city.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Very good, aaglo!

 

[Kyriakos]

Looks amazing, aaglo

 

[Stormrage]

Oooh! oooh! Where can I park my Titan, mr.aaglo, sir?

Awesome job, mate!

 

[aaglo]

Oooh! oooh! Where can I park my Titan, mr.aaglo, sir?

On top of any building you like... as long as your titan bears the marks of ruinous powers.

 

[Yoda Power]

I like the new version.

Maybe you should make building graphics out of those building too?

 

[aaglo]

Well, that's what I thought too... - with more details, of course.

 

[Kyriakos]

Any new pics, aaglo?

 

[DragonBird]

I've got Bryce 5. If someone could link me to a tutorial for buildings I would be more than happy to do Eldar Buildings...

 

[Quinzy]

What are the 5 culture groups again? Imperial, Chaos, Ork, Eldar and Tau?
Seeing as Necron and Tyranids aren't in yet...

If the Necron and Tau do enter in, I propose:
Imperial- SM, IG, DH, WH- Large impressive buildings, very typically Imperial
Chaos- Ork, CM, LaTD, DE- Generally lots of spikes and dark buildings
Eldar- Eldar- Roundy, eldary, with the wierd Omega shaped... ness
Tyranid- Tyranid- Tentacles. Spores. Goo.
Tau- Tau, Necron- Very square and circular buildings, brownish, lots of glowiness

 

[DragonBird]

That sounds great, but the Dark Eldar and Eldar are polar oppisites. Dark and Light...

 

[aaglo]

Yes they are - but they're only xenox who could use similar looking buildings.

As for my new previews: No, not at the moment. The "flame" sort of died out, because... well I actually don't know why. I managed to put in some walkways and whatnot.

 

[LMR]

Deldar could fit in with chaos, and the orks have some cities already that we can use, and since we have next to no nids at the moment, i think they would be better off as barbs until more are made, which frees up a slot for da orks

Could the eldar and tau be grouped together perhaps?

 

[aaglo]

Well, why not. But I think that orks really need to have their own set of cities (I believe some already exists).
