And here is the first wip for the matte, hmm itās really the beginning and itās really really ugly now to me
But then itās just to show you something and maybe to have your ideas about it !
The actual size image is 1024x440 but the one on which iām working on is 7100x3000 and will certainly get bigger with other mountains. The actual background sky and field is just temporary
Cya all

Just a question, why would a third person camera be better than a first person cam? Iām pretty sure that we could make it third person, but I personally donāt see exact reasons for doing it.
@ZonWernor: Really nice WIPs! Besides what I already told you over msn, I have another small suggestion. Maybe you could make the high doorway on your last render a āblindā one. So with a wall āinā it. I donāt know how to explain it well, but I hope that you understand.
Why? well, it just doesnāt seem to be a very logical place to have a door, at the edge of a wall you know.
@Grrrrr and FullSpeed: A nice start! Some questions and comments to your work:
-The walls were done by you too? Iām a bit confused about this, but you did them isnāt it?
If so, it might be good to give you my models, just as a reference for you guys. I mean, that are the walls that are already there and will be used, so it would be cool if your stuff fitted inside that
-It could be handy to do the building colors like AMoN did it. So letās say yellow for buildings one level high, blue for two levels, and so on. That will make it more clear to everyone.
-For as far as I can see it, I really like the building in the last render! I would like to see a larger version of that (maybe saving it as a jpeg instead of .bmp would be better? )
-Could you maybe make a toprender of that buildingplan? I would like to see how the streets look from the top.
-Something I would really like to see in the lowest section of the city, so also in your part, are not just buildings, clearly designed, build and finished, but more like buildings where small pieces of building have been added to you know? (For instance like the small piece you see added to the left side of the Guesthouse on the first level)
I donāt know how you guys think about this, but if you like it, try to make some of those parts in boxes too.
-Another thing that I would love to see are (rather small) buildings build against the outer wall. They should not be higher that the walls though. Just one or maybe one-and-a-half to two levels high.
The last two are just ideas, tell me what you think about them.

@AMoN-AMoK: As you already know, I really like your previz models! (I wonāt say this again, because it will annoy you greatly I think, but how about the large building at the left of 2-gate? 
)
Considering your first building, I would change or remove the rightmost window, because it looks strange now, going into the thing next to it. Except from that it looks good!
Keep it up

hmmā¦ iām affraid i donāt really understand ur suggestionsā¦sryā¦and i didnāt thought that i should tab buildings with colors because there is such e mess and there are all heightsā¦but iāll do thatā¦those walls are made by meā¦yesā¦because i have my own projā¦but iāll use your models if that makes u feel betterā¦
now iām at school(bleah)and as soon as i get home iāll make a top view render ā¦
see u on IRC ā¦

Hum, ok, Iāll try to explain them on IRC tonight.
and i didnāt thought that i should tab buildings with colors because there is such e mess and there are all heightsā¦but iāll do thatā¦
I think that it would be good if you get the heights correct yes. When creating the boxes, did you think about the height in levels of the buildings, or did you do it more intuitive?
those walls are made by meā¦yesā¦because i have my own projā¦but iāll use your models if that makes u feel betterā¦
It will make you feel better too I betBecause if it will not fit in the model in the end, weāll have a huge problem and a lot of work to correct it.

#592
i didnāt make them neither wayā¦i made them using my BIPED(11.8)as referenceā¦but as i saidā¦iāll make them in 3 colorsā¦
and please email me today the max filesā¦so they could reach me tomorrow

You can download them tonight from the ftp. That will be much easier than mailing them (my last two mails were sent back to me because they couldnāt be delivered in one dayā¦ reason: spamā¦

Before you start them, I would like you to know that Wilco will do them. Else weāll end up with two models in the end
Grrrrrrr
#597
here is the bottom right section of MT with Pjanssens wallsā¦it looks the sameā¦but trust me it isnātā¦and there u can see the FIRST 2 buildings from me and FullSpeedā¦
we didnāt worked at the rock mesh so itās the one from the bigginingā¦and it doesnāt fit any longā¦but it doesnāt matter because this mesh insāt the final one itās just for referenceā¦

Wow! There has been so much activity lately! I am going to start up on this project again, now that I have a bit of free time. I think I will do the section behind the main gate to the north. Iāll draw it out when I get home. I think I will try to finish the gate doors too, except the statues, those are up for grabs.
