Ya I was thinking the stone was too light as well.

 

So go with a wood roof vs a thatch roof?

Just my opinion. Have it look however you like.

Here I changed the wall to match the buildings and added a wood roof to see how it would look.

Here I tried another thatch texture I got off the internet.

 

 

 

 

I think I like this one the most out of the three.

Which wood looks better ?

 

 

 

 

I'm thinking the bottom wood looks a little more modern while the top might be more the style I going for.

The bottom looks "colder", with harsher detail.  I prefer the top, but the boards look too big.

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Tonden_Ockay]

               

Here it is with something like the top boards

Personally I liked the shingled wood roof, but the roof model itself is kind of thick so it looks a bit strange. Perhaps the other one is better.

 

It's your eyes. Go with what feels right.  '>

Ya it looks better on the two story then the one story building

 

 

I tried a different stone, this one looks more like stacked stone.

 

 

 

 

While the first one you can tell the builders used some kind of mortar.

A thatched roof probably needs a bevel along the upper edges.

The BIGEST problem with reskinning is that the textures are used other places on other buildings so you find yourself chasing your tail redoing things you already done because it jacked up the looks of something else.

 

I have spent just two days at learning this and I need a break '>

A few suggestions regarding the colours.

 

Have you tried darkening the stone textures in an image editor? Just, for some reason the well looks a liitle pale.

Have you considered aging the stone textures by adding some moss/lichen/slime to them. You would do this by using layers in your image editor.

As thatch ages its colour tends to go greyish so you might like to try that or maybe darken the colour or both.

@meaglyn the "A" in RoAR stands for ancient. If you look in this thread you will see that I made the suggestion a couple of days before I posted here. While there may be an 'a' in your user name I don't recall you marketing any of your submissions to the vault (forgive me if I am wrong) with a lower case 'a' (implying creatorship) as part of its title. I, on the other hand, have several submissions on there that have "TR" in their titles. Just click on the "All my Project Stuff..." link in my sig to see a full list if you don't believe me. Which is why I made the suggestion.

How do you go about reskinning a placeable? There is two placeable castles in CEP I would like to take and reskin if possible.
