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)...

[Kendaric Varkellen]

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

[Pstemarie]

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. 

[Pstemarie]

The finished product...



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

Nice looking tiles, keep up the good work.

[Lord Sullivan]

Very good @Pstemarie

Now I feel like reporting this post for ridiculously small screenshot!!

It's 2013 for crias sake!

Nice!

[Pstemarie]

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?

I think a beam there would make sense.

[Sir Adril]

Having lived in a town that had a lot of thatched rooves, and seriously considered getting into the thatching trade, yes, it does need a beam there, I think. It does look really odd without it.

[Frith5]

From a builder's perspective, yes. The 'ridge pole' at the peak supports the framing of the whole roof, so having that beam project out like the others would be cool. Also (see how picky I can be?), maybe you could rotate all the beams so they are taller than wide instead of wider than tall, if you know what I mean? They look like 4" x 8" beams, and normally I'd expect to see them nailed on with the 4" on the roof, and standing upward the 8".
Either way, that smithy looks great!

[Zwerkules]

You could also add a few beam end placeables which look like carved horse heads or the less common swan heads.

[NWN_baba yaga]

I love basic stuff. Very cool and fits in perfectly:) And I´m down with the beam thing... add it

[s e n]

very nice addition

[TheOneBlackRider]

Beautiful addition! And: Yes: Do add a beam.

[Pstemarie]

OK, the beam is in - and it really does make a difference in the overall appearance of the model. Now I just have to add a similar beam to the other thatch houses. I've also modified the default texture for the TNO cobble roads and made a few other modifications. I'll post some screens when I have more time...

[Master Jax]

Thanks for sharing, and great work! Love the whole idea,not just the result, but the basic theme as well!

[Tyndrel]

If you can spare the time this would be a great tutorial.
