It will be a whole bunch of objects you can use to construct your own castle. I will have some different types of walls and windows and doors and all the accesories you need to make a castle. I'll post progress on it while i go. Here is the humble beginning, just some tower modules.

I mean if someone wanted a castle in their scene they may well have a very firm idea on how it should look. You could offer a dozen different castles on your website and still none of them would fit their specific needs. But, give them the building blocks (no pun intended) so they can create their own design quickly and easily and that's a different story. Apply the same principle to space stations, factories and even corridors and I think your on to a winner. PS: I know its only a WIP but you definitely need to make that stone texture tileable.

I have seen things like this for other apps but they were in formats i can't use or too expensive. I will make things like this that are cheap that us truespace users can use. I think as a starting point for a castle its a good thing to have, then people can modify the shapes and textures to suit their needs. I only have a few modules made and I'm already having fun with it. Post by 3dfrog // Jun 19, 2008, 10:43am 3dfrog Total Posts: 1225 just a curved wall and a barred window today.

Knights... Knights on horses... Pages... Princess... Queen and King... Jesters... Crowns... Scepters... oh and throw in a banquet feast hall with tables and grog containers... That's all for now, I'll be back begging for more stuff. :D Post by 3dfrog // Jun 19, 2008, 10:57am 3dfrog Total Posts: 1225 I'm not gonna make any characters for the kit, those take too long to keep the kit cheap. But I can model those after and pop them in the shop. I don't want the castle kit to be more than 10 dollars, maybe cheaper. I will make some catapults and ladders though, good idea. Thanks :) Post by jamesmc // Jun 19, 2008, 2:31pm jamesmc Total Posts: 2566 Yippeee! ty Mr. Froggie. :)
