Adraax: Klyro's City Project

[Baldur]

edit:as mentioned before, has anyone spoken to arcane falcon about a klyro related unoficial fanart challenge??

I sent him a letter before but he hasn't answered yet.

[Arangol]

Thanks Xillix for references.
I'll try to model it, but as I don't have as much time as Rast    I don't think it will be completed today, or even tomorrow.

Rast, the inside is forming out well, and don't hurry on the textures, better to finish it first and then do the textures. And sure, I'm trying to make life harder for you  .

EDIT: Anyone have a bigger picture of the first picture in Incas post? From the side would be the best, but any picture with that boat that is bigger would be great. I can't find one myself 

[rast]

shame arcane hasn't responded.....

I can't really find a picture of that particular boat either arangol, sorry . I did find a very large pic that may give more inspiration for windows and other features though:

done a bit more on boat (added rigging(ish), escape boats, better barrels, etc):



i need some inspiration concerning the inside and the outside of the ship - i have no idea what else to put on it

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

Rast, I really dig the ship!

Exterior:

crow's nest

perhaps some design on the sails --like a town symbol?--

http://metamedia.stanford.edu/traumwerk/index.php/Medieval%20Ships

perhaps some writing carved there into the railings [like sailors graphitti] or just ornating, carvings elsewhere maybe?

oars for the life raft

some manner of figurehead

ship name on side? or some manner of markings

perhaps have the woodwork show some more on the sides?

an anchor?

interior:

again carvings or wall hangings, perhaps maps (a map of the bay might be cool)

perhaps floors and wall have polished wood grain ?

furniture:

Just some thought to help inspire

[Robinmagus]

The interior of the ship looks somewhat like the interior of the ship you start on in Morrowind. Minus the hammocks. Add hammocks 

[LARAGORN]

you might get some inspiration here

I have a lot more links to others if you want. I'll be back later today.


EDIT: Xillix was faster

[Inca Sator]

OK, here you can find my comments to your model.

Also, the "smooth groups" theme are still opened - we discuss it later.

I have done the Boat and the basic shape of the house for the HouseBoat. I'm too lazy to post any pictures (8 am here). 

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

I wanna see !

[rast]

thanks for all the stuff guys you are certainley going to keep me busy (how many polys should i be aiming for btw??)

can't wait to see your boat arangol

[Arangol]

Alright, this is just the basic shape, just blocking it out. All the finer detail is still missing.

House Boat

725 Polygons ( I haven't done any cutting down on them)

Looking good so far Arangol 

I just had a concept for a craft, since the klyros can glide they would have an advantage in sea battles. If they had a ship type with platforms that either were or could be raised up high these platforms could be raised with Klyros on them for early landing parties or boarding enemy vessels to attack their rigging and sails . . .

[Baldur]

Hmm, i'd guess that if they were or had been a flying species then they'd be more knowledgable in aerodynamics. Airships wouldn't fit into it yet gliding bridges might be a possibility. You know, to board ships. Or we could have floating bridges? Ships entirely made as a bridge...

Good idea, Xillix. We could have extra sails on the sides that will serves as wings for gliding. That could both easen the load for the klyros and make the glidings longer.

[Arangol]

A little while ago, we had an idea about catapults that throw klyros in the air. But this is another good idea.

A question about the house boat, you want it to have sails or some other metod of moving?

I think most house boats would be used near shore, so a rudder paddle would work for them (the same as gaundelas or oriental small fishing boats)
A single sail, could be used for the rare open sea voyage.
