Architecture Wishlist

[Ibsen's Ghost]

I will use this post as a place for recording our progress on new architectures. There are presently a variety of resources being made available. Could people please post up here anything that is not included below and I will re-edit this original post. Discussions on the content can also continue in this thread.

Architecture Needed

• Paatru Stump Villages
  
• Eyries and Nests of the Sarpa (see this idea: 'To Do' thread for Ibsen's Ghost )
  
• Tenmar Wall and Jungle Huts set (see IS's Bruma Re-textures? and [WIP] Tenmar Wall )
  
• Aztec-styled ruins (for jungles and more intact models for Helstrom) (Here is the first basic sample which can be adapted: Growlf's Beveled Pyramids )
  
• Gothic architectural development (some of which is partly complete and will mainly be used for Gideon and Blackrose - see here: Hel Borne's Final Resource )
  
• Kothringi Architecture (currently being on worked on by llamaranger: Soulrest (and surrounding area) development thread )
  
• Mossy Ruin tileset - more re-textured models would be nice, both exterior (the circular platforms) and interior (perhaps halls and different-levelled passages).
  
• Shell Architecture - probably for the coastal areas of the Parchlands and the southern coast (see this post - Architecture Wishlist)

Tilesets Required

Paatru Interiors (possibly derived from the hive / root caves of SI)
Aztec Ruin interiors (perhaps adapted from the SI ruins)

Here's a start to the aztec-style ruins:

I may be able to get hold of some more, but no promises.

Thanks, Deeza. These sites look useful as reference points: Smaller houses including Arts and Architecture, Diagram of a Temple, Aztec Architecture: a brief summary & a strange combination of Aztec and Western.

Consideration should be given to those buildings that are genuine ruins and may be cracked and covered in vines and trees as opposed to those of Helstrom which might well be more intact. Anyway, I updated the first post.

I was wondering, does anybody have an oblivion in .3ds max file format? That would allow me to compare my own creations with oblivion's default building. Adjust the size of my creations and hopefully get them working ingame.

This is all technical gobbledigook to me, I'm afraid :dunce:

Nonetheless, it might be worth asking on the main forums. There are plenty of wizkids there who can help, I would have thought.

He's asking for an Oblivion mesh he can open up in 3ds Max . I'm sure someone has or can sort you out with one. I cant, uninstalled 3ds Max the other day, cannot get the hang of the whole modelling thing.

Why not just import a vanilla mesh into your scene?

[InsanitySorrow]

Can you import .Nif files straight into 3ds Max?

[Lady Nerevar]

yes, you can.

[SACarrow]

Still a touch glitchy, but only with "weirder" stuff like emitters. Basic mesh import works fine with the NifTools plugin; look for "NetImmerse Gamebryo" in the Import file type list.

HTH,
