November's 2010 Custom Content Challenge: Ancient Civilizations

[Legacy_Zwerkules]

               I made a corner tile so I could look at the roman buildings in the toolset and the game. The gate and the edge tiles are still missing.




I will replace the dirt by a cobble texture later. If 'rotate texture' only works for one ground texture, I'll have to make the cobble texture similar to the texture from the City Exterior  tileset where each edge of the texture can be placed next to another edge without visible seams.

               Wow, Zwerkules!  Just... wow!  Fair dues to you for tackling terrains.  All your shots look amazing.



I've finally decided what I will do: as an Irish lass, it is my patriotic duty to create Celtic jewellery.  Not icons but body parts.  However, this should not take forever like my pirate outfit because I'll just be adding some objects to standard Bioware body geometry (like necklaces, torcs, armlets, etc) and thus won't need to do a ridiculous amount of adjustment to assure my creations don't clip.

               Thank you, Rafhot.  It's always great to hear when someone's interested in one's national mythology.  We grow up pretty much inhaling this stuff, so it's normal for us to like it.  When others show interest is, I think, the sign there's something special at work.  :-)



Of course, if I hadn't gone with a Celtic theme, it would have had to be an Incan one.  I was a huge fan of The Mysterious Cities of Gold as a child.  So it would have been native Americans of a different kind to join yours.  Ah well - maybe some day... ;-D

               *groans*  Multiple drool towels needed.

Ohhh.  The building looks fantastic, Z.

Jewelry sounds like a great idea, Este.  I'm eager to see what you come up with.

That blade looks like it could really put the hurt on someone Xialya.  I'm curious, why is the tip of it so much darker than the rest of the blade?

               It was a shadow, but I eventually cleared it.




               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Estelindis]

               Xialya: seriously hot stuff.  I second the drool towel request!

               I havent seen or heard of those swords in a while.I really like the color on the handle it looks worn and used.Its a nice adition.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Eradrain]

               I think the shadow actually made it look better, to be honest.



Great work in any case, though!

Very nice, can't wait to see that blade in action.

               Thanks for the nice comments ^^

Any other ancient weapons you could have in mind?

Ahhhh  I wasn't sure if the tip had been dipped in asp poison for so long that it became etched a bit. '>  The "raised" detail running down the blade looks neat.

*looks over 3D wishlist*  Oddly enough, no *ancient* weapons on my list.

               Torc-style neck part - first draft!  Any suggestions welcome - though I expect this simply won't be to everyone's taste, as it's a very culture-specific look.  (Seriously: not everyone is going to want to wear a heavy collar made of metal, even if the metal in question is solid gold!)
