Back to Basics - Making a Smithy

[Legacy_Pstemarie]

               Getting back into the swing of model making - first up is a smithy bashed from one of thatch houses from the Castle Exterior Tileset by DLA (tno01_v10_01)...

               That looks quite useful, will it be part of the next Q update?

               The forge has been placed along with the bellows and the framework for roof over the "work" area...



Note that the chimney still needs a crown placed along with a suitable smoke emitter.

I'll probably release it as a lone model for insertion into the TNO tileset by Builders.

               The finished product...



I'm thinking of adding some glow to the coals and maybe a few other minor details.

               Nice!

               Added a few placeables - anvil and water-filled barrel to flesh out the smithy. The anvil will be useable so that I can have a "smith" working at his forge.

               Very Nice. Quick query - are the bellows animated too?

Nope. The bellows are part of the tile. I might try making an animated version, but its not too high on my list of priorities atm.

               Impressive. Is that some new/edited texture you're using for the walls? I have been reskinning the whole rural tileset to pretty much the same config you're using there, and that texture is perfect for it.

That texture is tno01_rough01a (from the patch 1.69 xp3.bif). For a two-story stone building you'll want to use that texture for the bottom story and tno01_rough01 for the top story.

               I'm beginning to think that the thatch buildings need a beam at the roof peak. It seems kind of odd looking not to have one there - or am I just being too picky?
