New scenes (update 30/12/2011: Saxon Village p. 32)

New castle scene
For those of you who don't know I've made 3 castles for Imperium Romanum.
And one of those will be reused in Brytenwalda, just as they were IRL 

WANDERFUL, really!! ....and the look of them is so real. Well done, Adorno!
Hope Vympel thanked you well enough!

cool.
would be great if there was some more roman "stuff" in the game, like some armours or so.
anyway, nice idea.
thanx Adorno.

Looking good, if maybe a bit too well-preserved... I'm not saying it shouldn't be formidable, or well-maintained, but it could be patched-up a bit more to show that it's been in continuous use, and not just recently been dusted off after being stored like a museum piece for a century or two


What do you mean by Roman armour, Thorgil? From my limited knowledge, late west roman equipment didn't look much different from many of the pieces available in BW, and had a heavy Germanic influence and few distinctively "Roman" aspects...

This looks so good! Why oh why does my display driver crash when I play it ? oh cruel fate!

You're absolutely right. There are just so few ruined scene props that it's difficult to make it look real.

Using Caladria in Darkness would make it look more "ruined".  Beautiful work as always, Adorno!  This makes me want to try Imperium Romanum!  Great scene.  Which town(s) will this be?

 

[jackx]

Only at a glance, because the gloomy atmoshpere would bring an increased sense of loss and decay, without adding any actual wear or damage beyond surface cosmetics.  And in a place that is worn down through use, not left deserted to decay, that'd not be an entirely appropriate type of "damage" anyways... damage wouldn't show so much in crumbling ruins and neglect, but in the makeshift repairs in their place.

It is as Adorno said, anything substantial would have to come through new scene elements that'd have to be specifically created for that purpose.

With the materials at hand, this is a splendid job, and I look forward to exploring it once it's found its way into a release.

where can CiD be found? Is it installed over brytenwalda itself or just over Warband?

Install it over Brytenwalda.  The graphic mod pack uses CiD textures along with flora, and horizons from Polished Landscapes.  Skies in the graphic pack come from a mix of sources (I think Native in the latest version?).  The skies in CiD are very dark and some people don't like them.  I like how CiD makes stone walls, wood, and grass look.  I don't like the skies very much, and it changes some of the game items a darker colour (like bread and apples).

sexy!

Nice work like usual  Logs,chopped wood and benches are very nice details too. Just one little thing, you made it so detailed and forgot to put the big thing, gate door. It happens to me a sometimes when making detailed armors, focus on all the little things and forget to put the belts or something along those lines.

 

[Adorno]

... gate door.

Yes, you mean the 'arch' over the entrance to the manor? 
I actually changed the palisade after those screenshots because it's a very complex model, 3-4 times the amount of vertices than native palisade model.

 

[Sobakozoid]

I'm sorry, but roofs looks bad. 
Too sharp and clean.

Mhm, that could be much, always try to unify vertices on models, sometime you can chop  off some nice vertices number. Oh yes, just remembered, Rathos has released his palisade model used in Vikingr, very nice palisades, well, Rathos made them after all

Yes, I'm not happy with them at all. Thatched roofs are not easy to make.
But actually the more flat and even a thatched roof is the better. It means it's well made 
When it begins to collapse (both in thickness and sliding down) - and moss starts growing on it - it becomes leaky.

This is a new, well made thatched roof, very even and thick.

This is an older one, and telling from the grey'ish colour it has seen better days. It has also begun sliding a little but not much.

Everything Rathos does is nice. I'll check it out 

 

[Rathmor]

I really need to remake and retexture the females body. It spoils the majesty of the scene

 

[Jarukr_Torfining]

I really need to retexture the female's body.

I'm sure you're good at what you do and all, but leave the saucy metaphors to the bards.

Couldn't disagree more ... I think it all looks great.  Very good work Adorno I am a big fan of your work on this mod.
