Showcase your random work :)

I was looking through my bookmarks and I found an image of a building I made around the time I first joined more than a year ago! I don't know where the map file went but I really wanted to post this image because it looks interesting :) I thought maybe it would be a good idea to have a thread where everyone can post any mapping images they like as a showcase!

Heh I remember this tower!

Ahaha, Escher! Did you make that yourself, or find it somewhere? Even if you just found it, good find!

 

I have some "Castlemolds" miniature molds for medieval model making, but I haven't really used them yet. My wife made a little something out of them. But here is someone with a great eye, recreating the real illusion:

Yeah I made that one myself when I was starting to do work with you guys a while ago.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Damnit. Every time I see something like that, like this,

or this,

I get a mix of feelings. Awe at how simple(!) and beautiful it is, and frustration that I can't seem to do it myself. I make it much harder than it is, apparently, in my mind, and defeat myself at the start. Though I can get self-pleasing results once in a while, I just don't seem to have the wiring for envisioning such design as a whole, top-down and then building it up from the parts. There's also the approach of build-as-you-go, but that requires a different kind of talent, and the tenacity to stick through the rough spots, when it's little more than a blocky concept-mess.

 

When I see something like those castle models, it gives me energy and inspiration to build. As such I have literally more than 1500 photos I've scoured from the web over the last year or two (brodyaga.ru is a favorite). But the building is the exciting, and easy part. It's the damn concept building skill I need!

 

Stupid right brain! Work better! :angry:

Same here. Some people simple can, and then is me :(

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
