Yeah, I've never messed with shadows.

So if import/merge a Firaxis model and keep just the shadow plane and then export my own nif it'll be there?

Exactly all you have to do is retexture the imagealpha to create a shape that fits to your building.

Not sure if this has a place here or not, but I needed a break from orc houses. I found a pic on the web of a Sun Temple and here it is. The pic doesn't have an altar, but does the model need one?

That temple looks interesting. One use for it can be one of the buildings in the Temple City of Guallidurth. You would just have to modify the "sun beams" to be 8 spider legs.
Another idea, removing/modifying the sun and adding a bloody altar, it can be used as a Shrine of Gruumsh.

How's this for an orc variation? I'm using some low poly skulls winddelay made for me. They're textured, the rest isn't.

Wanna have it!

Looks good woodelf.
For texture, I would suggest the posts to be wood. and the dias to be rough stone.

BTW (For all you lizard lovers)...I now have a lizardfolk leaderhead, courtesy of hexagonian:

Spoiler Chiimogli of the Silver March Lizardfolk :

Now I just need some lizardfolk units

 

[woodelf]

Wow, that lizzie LH looks great!

FfH has some lizzie units and maybe others could be nifviewed.

 

[Darque]

Winddelay will be creating some new lizardfolk units.

As for leaderheads, I'll start posting all of the new leaderhead pics soon on the Dragonia II web site.

 

[woodelf]

Yup, winddelay's lizzies have a good start so far.

 

[winddelay]

Nice LH.

I'll try to work that into some of the models.

 

[woodelf]

Here's the Orc Temple with shadows. Thanks winddelay! 1.2 for fscale is too small I think.

Victory video storyboard posted at Diabolic...and all leaderheads are done.

Good stuff hex.

 

[woodelf]

Sun temple is also finished if it has a use here.

Here's an attempt at the Nerrulian Temple. I modified the Crypt of Souls texture a bit and borrowed some headstones. The building is based off of the Sacred pic though. I'm fiddling with adding a shadow, but wanted to know if the texture is dark enough or if I should darken it some.

 

[woodelf]

Whoopie, and now a version with an actual shadow!

Thanks winddelay for the cheat guide.

 

[Darque]

Looking good. Can you darken the roof tiles a bit? Blends in too much with the stone.

Also, make the stone texture for the walls use larger stones. It shows up better in the game that way.

 

[woodelf]

How's this one?

 

[Darque]

Looking better. Maybe add either a slight red or green tint to the roof as well to give it some color.

 

[woodelf]

Too green or just right?
