Sheaim palace model

[thomas.berubeg]

I think that the idea of having it be a crater was because Braduk the Burning is built around the crater left when Bhall crashed through Erebus during her fall from her vault of holy fire to Agares' vault. This is a massive crater with flames and lava within, but it is not a mountain-like volcano. It is an impact crater that leads to hell itself.

yeah...

the way i see it, Old Bannor Braduk was a city built around a large temple and Palace complex devoted to Bhall and housing her priests and the creme of the Bannor soceity.
when Bhall fell through, i imagine she took with her the center of the city: the temple, the palaces, and all those there (come to think of it, probably most of the bannor nobility and priests, as they would have been nervous and confused by the astral signs.) Wha she left behind was the outer city, the houses, the market places, all but the central Authority.

I tried to make the crater not that large... But you can always scale it .

 

[thomas.berubeg]

so, what's next?

 

[Deon]

Depends on my time. These "3ds max practicing" rendered my wife mad .

So I can't expect Svartalfar palace anytime soon? (I am not playing the most up to date version so I may have out dated info.)

 

[Deon]

Hey, wazup, I'll check the current model. I'll have some free time on this weekend so I may be into it.

For those that are wondering, as of 0.34h, the following buildings & wonders still use vanilla graphics:
Doviello Palace, Guild of the Nine, Illian Palace, Pact of the Nilhorn, Pagan Temple, Sidar Palace, Spider Pen, Svartalfar Palace, The Eyes & Ears Network, Tower of Mastery

These buildings use the same graphics as each other; one or both could be changed:
Governor's Mansion/Courthouse
Dwarven Smithy/Weaponsmith/Forge
Market/Money Changer
Harbour/Sea Haven
Library/Catacomb Libralus

The Calabim, Lanun & Luchuirp Palaces are all recolours of each other

And finally, the Khazad Palace uses Citadel graphics, and the Temple of the Hand uses the same graphics as the Broken Sepulcher

Hope that inspires any the budding designers out there

These models are all damn near amazin, man.

 

[Verdian]

I think the Pillar of Chains needs one, too. It is just an Obelisk. It has such a gruesome description, too.

Deon, how did you get the texture to appear on both sides of the tentacles around the sheim palace?
