I want to build a sea port town using primarily half-timbered architecture, but I haven't delved into the BCK sets in any great detail so I don't know if it covers that style yet.

 

Q. Does anybody think the modular parts in Daniel74's blend set could be useful for this purpose? Or would it be redundant?

 

I've also been looking at Zwerkules' very nice Medieval City set, but it's turning out to be a boat-load of work to try and remap those onto a single texture file. (The city walls are working out very nicely though.)

Seaport town?  Like this?

Yes, I've seen those thanks.    What I'm seeking is the half-timbered architectural style. Somewhat like the rural buildings but more urban in style. There's one model like that I know of for NWN2:

 

[Dann-J]

That would be the Tudor architectural style.

This was (for me) an interesting experiment. I installed SketchUp, found a tower model in the 3D Warehouse and loaded it into the tool [left], exported it as a Collada mode (.dae), then imported it into Blender [center and right]. Took just a few minutes.

 

 

It's 6650 faces all told. Needs some work in terms of texture consolidation and face reduction, but it seems quite workable.

[PJ156]

That's a nice looking tower.

 

There's two Tudor houses, I think the one you have pictured is the simpler model competition one and there is a more complete set. Both by Simbolic i think?

 

You posted a set yourself not so long back which were okay. they looked quite blocky though like the ones in the builder sets you link in your post. I have traveled this path in the past and I will dig out some of the gold i found this weekend. In the meantime have you considered this:

Yes, they are both very nice. The problem is that the licenses appear unsuitable for us to use. Unfortunately, that's true of a lot of nice models out there, especially on the tf3d site (although I believe 4760 has obtained permission to port Baychaser's works to NWN2).

 

There are quite a few free timber framed house models out there and some of them look pretty good. I'm probably going to start working on buildings once I get the first set of models published, so I'll try downloading a bunch and see which ones will work the best. (Mostly I'm looking for relatively low poly models with an uneven, hand-crafted look.)

 

Meanwhile, here's a potter's wheel. It's ported from a 3d Warehouse model, but I'm finding those require a lot of cleanup because they often use boolean operations on the intersections. (The pot is a separate placeable.)

 

 

And now I see I have some normals that need fixing...

[4760]

(although I believe 4760 has obtained permission to port Baychaser's works to NWN2).

That's absolutely right!

This model isn't ported yet, but I'll add it to the priority list. When do you need it?

[rjshae]

Thanks. For me at least there's no hurry; I don't have a particular time frame set yet. Maybe I'll try to finish the port town over the next year. It'll be a base of operations locale, but probably 20 buildings tops.

I am very much looking forward to that being available.

Exactly the number of buildings I'm porting to NWN2 (I believe all but two are Baychaser's work).

I still need to add the door attachment points, fine tune the texture/UV map, add the C2/C3 boxes, add the walkmesh... Well, it's not ready, but here's how it looks like at the moment:

I've got a little tear in my eye.

 

Tis a thing of beauty to be sure.

It's looking good for certain. Might I ask though if you could look into making the tiled roof tintable? The orange-brown hue looks a little too Mediterranean to me, so I'd like to be able to try it with more of a slate hue tinged with moss. (If not, I could always switch out the texture.)

[rjshae]

The first set is now available:

• Neverwinter Vault
• Nexus

Please give it a try and let me know if you encounter any issues. Thank you.

[PJ156]

This set enters my list of must haves for modding. Thank you RJS.

 

By the way, you asked above if the Daniel74 set would be useful. I think very much so.

 

PJ

[kamal_]

So many goodies. It almost makes me want to go add more non quest flavor areas to Crimmor, fishmongers and stuff.

[rjshae]

I'm still looking for the right texture for those fish nets, alas.

 

By the way, you asked above if the Daniel74 set would be useful. I think very much so.

 

Okay. I'll need to try an experiment with one of them to see if it has the requisite quality--it's hard to tell from the pic. (But I definitely want to change that blue hue on the windows.)

[PJ156]

That would be cool.

 

I have pm'd you on the release. I think there may be some models missing.

 

As a general question overwrote six lines on the cornucopia 2da which brought them to my attention as I do not have models for them. They are a hangover from skull hak I guess.

Does any one recognise these models. Now I know the exist I can hunt them down and move them for the next update.

I pulled the medieval house model from the Daniel74 set. It's pretty nice, but it has the same issue as Zwerkules' Medieval City set: namely, the model uses a bunch of separate texture files and the individual parts can wrap around the sides of those textures multiple times. I.e. they don't map neatly to the bounds of the separate textures. In contrast, the NWN2 building models are each carefully mapped to a single texture file, limiting the number of draw calls required. I can get the model converted, but it'll take a lot of fussy remapping of the parts to a single, merged texture file. Ah well...

[PJ156]

Darn these builders, why did they not think of us when they did this stuff.

 

PJ

[rjshae]

Okay, I've converted one of models from the Daniel74 medieval building set. To me it looks pretty decent, and I think it should fit right in. The sides and roof are tintable. I replaced those blue tinted windows with ones from the rural house set, although maybe those are a little too dark. I should probably give those steps a little sag.

 

[PJ156]

Yup, that'll about do it

 

It looks close to the textures that BTH used on his houses project so the two should fit together nicely.

I have been absentee since I had to move out and work out of town for a month. But can I still work on this or is it done already?

 

The goat statue

 

also wanna try that big blue and grey multi stage building I liked.

[Eguintir Eligard]

Unfortunately after immediate inspection, this model was already mashed up horribly by some kind of modifier. There were no edge loops in sight so all I could do was a combo of a different modifier, and a lot of manual updates (well about an hour).

 

There is good news and bad.

 

Bad news is this will never be useable as a small ambient.

 

Goodish news, it is at about 12k, so could be used as a building type object, where you are allowed to have more polys if its big enough to take up 2 tiles.

 

If you think the remaining version is good enough to still use that is. The flaws tend to show up more depending on the texture used.

 

See: this goat statue sample.

 

If you think it is good enough, I can manually fix up the errors on the marble texture (like the smeared part on the front right upper arm).

I just didn't want to keep going if it's going to be declined. But at the end of the day, it will be 12-13k.
