Model:


I'm learning to model with 3d max (just started yesterday) and I made this pitiful looking crannog. :D I think it can be used in the costal villages of Northshore as a LC residence. It's obviously not finished though, textures still need to be made and applied (and I'm a long way from learning how to UV map Tongue ), and of course it will need to be properly exported... oh and the entrance will also be fixed up a bit.

Eek 1 Not the words I'd use to describe it, but it's very nice nonetheless. :D

Maybe make the poles a bit less straight and regular?

I don't know if there is an area/town/place in HR called North Shore, but there definitely is a Hold in Skyrim named Northshore. :D It's on the northern coast of Skyrim between Solitude and Winterhold.

Hey you said you'll be back and you are... GOOD! :D

BTW... sexual? Is it the roof? Because I altered it slightly. Tongue

A small update:
The model itself is pretty much done. I changed a few things like the support pillars (added more, but made them thinner) and also made all the wooden logs/poles/pillars irregular like real wood is.

Once I get this textured and exported I'll make a few more variations, like crannog's (platforms) that have several huts on them. I can also make all the platforms as separate models from the huts so they can be combined at will.

Ok then, back to work! :D

Psychotic has attached these images (downsized versions):

Now you see there's a deepr meaning to everything, from the elongated rounded shapes of the poles, to the pointed conical top... gosh Psychotic, so much inuendo Tongue Great work though, those will make some really original towns.

One thing that the hut could do with Psych-- a Chimmney to keep those Nords warm out on those cold coastlines.

Nice to see you too!!! :D

I?ve gotten bored with Medieval 2 Total War now, but there is no such thing as getting bored with a TES game - there are only pauses from TES games :D
And with playing comes the motivation for involving one self with Skyrim again! :)

Cool to see you?re modeling now Psych!! And it looks great, I like the slightly curved/irregular shapes of the roof - looks very authentic even now without texture. Looks awesome!!! (I can?t do the smilies with this mac, but if I could I?d do the thumbs up).
Perhaps the wooden stands and the other logs on [insert correct word here] could be alittle bit more "irregular" and less alligned, but then again perhaps things should?nt be too irregular and bent and stuff.. The nords are supposed to be very good working with wood right? So they?d probably axe the log straight and nail it up straight...
In any case it looks great allready!! Awesome work!!!

Thanks Sulan! =)

I did try making the logs a bit more irregular, but it made the whole structure seem unstable so I settled for this. :)
