Here's a link to a photo-album from a treetop city mod I did for Morrowind It was never released, but the main structure of the city was done. It's just kind of Valenwood related, if you want more pics I still have it my hard disc and could take some more.

Ok, I think the link should work now. First time you click it the link won't come up, click it again and it should work fine, sorry that it's being goofy

Nice work Wookien, will wood elf structures in the mod be totally organic (i.e. grown like Telvanni structures) or will there be things like what wookien posted. Because I thought wood elves didn't cut down trees, but I'm no lore expert.

Good reference, but we'd want more flat lavels, and ways to go between levels.

Welcome beastmafia Wave

Nice sketch, that would be what I imagined the smaller vialleges would look like.

I was also thinking baskets with ropes, but platforms can work too, and we can make them real time.

Anyway, good stuff.

Thanks everyone :D

I'll try to flesh out some more stuff, but the San Diego Comic-Con is this weekend, and I gotta work there all four days. Sunday is most likely when I will resume concept work...

I'll get more detailed later on, too.

It's an awesome project and I'm glad to be a part of it. :D

Has this one been made? And do the trees need to be done with speed tree?

No, it has not been done yet, you can have a go at the houses, but For the trees you need Speed Tree, unfortunately I have not seen any demos of it around.

Uhh... I hate using speed tree, luckily I do have a copy of it from a friend for 3ds 6 :)

Give me a while to work with speed tree and I'll see what I can do with it. As for the houses it wouldn't look the same without the tree, I was planning on building the houses into the tree, instead of intercepting it.

Thats what I was thinking about the houses aswell. They would be like the various mushrooms that grow on trees. BTW I got your render, looks good, I like it.

Great concept and I can do it as a static object in max, but I can?t do it in ST? The ST program doesn?t root out the trunk like I want it to. The best ideas I can come up with is to use stock Oblivion trees and import a mushroom house, clipping the tree. Crud, but nonetheless is the only way I can see how this design will come to life in Oblivion, unless a static tree is fine, but wouldn?t look right when the other trees are swaying in the wind? That and the tree built in max will be verrrrrry low polygon, the tree I used in this screen shot exceeds 10,000+

http://img83.imageshack.us/my.php?image=testpi1.jpg

I pretty much have the mushroom house done; all I need now is a texture to apply it when it comes time to exporting.

:EDITED:

If push comes to shove, the Meshes\dungeons\ayleidruins\exterior... Roots could be used to give that nice rooting from tree effect.

http://img132.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rootscx2.jpg

:EDITED 2:

Cool so not all hope is lost. Here are a few more test renders built from ST, these are as close to manroots as I can get for now. I'll do some more testing and in the mean time ya'll get me some more concepts. Hell I don't care if they are drawn or screenies. :D

I don't know if this is the right thread, but here's my latest tree drawing thing, there are two levels along with small windows in the main tower, and on some of the bigger roots.

Hope it's good :D

Yes it could be done that way but I meant it would need to be static to get that twisting effect.
