Colonial Houses 1.53

[Kimbolton]

Red,

I like the height of your buildings. They are prefect for the city center. My city center is full of them.

[Gordon Dry]

A question of a non-modeller:

if a Blender grid unit is 1m how can it happen that the sizes of houses from different creators are so different?

Edit:

I also think that the NMT houses have the proper size.

[Tom Sawyer]

Different creators use different softwares and different ways to construct and scale models. There is no standard. 1 meter in blender is not really a measurement. So far as I know, a tile in the game is not exactly 1 meter or 2 meters. It's the height of a citizen.

[kid1293]

My experience is that Banished people are 1.20 meters high.
Might be off a bit, but you get it.
Lay an adult down on the ground and they are a little bit longer than a tile.

[Tom Sawyer]

Then your citizens are hobbits.^^

A human is about 1.7 meter and i think it's the best measurement in the game because they are using the houses and it should look right.

Unfortunately there is no measuring tape in game. I made some tests with the apiary fbx and the result was, that the length of a tile is about the height of a citizen. Maybe not exactly and it is only 80 or 90 % of a citizen but not 1 meter. If you are right it could be about 1.5 meter.

[kid1293]

One meter in Blender will be one tile in game.

[Tom Sawyer]

Yes, but a tile doesn't represent 1 meter in reality because a human is not 1 meter.

I found a picture on Lukes site with citizens lying on the floor as you said and I made an overlay... Beat me but a tile is exactly the height of a citizen.

[kid1293]

Yes, you are right. I make 1.20-1.25 high doors
and there is a little bit to spare on bannies.

This discussion is useless since we all agree that
time and distances are 'game-friendly'.
What Luke had in mind I don't know.
Maybe invented a new species.
Never sleep - eat 12 times a year or so - gladly carry
a barrel of ale alone...

All I say is that Luke's people are 1 Blender meter.

[Turis]

What would happen if the Banished citizens instead of being human were elves, dwarves, hobbits, vulcans, klingons or Gorns.

[kid1293]

We would all throw fireballs and swallow magic potions. 

[Tom Sawyer]

If they were Klingons, a tile would be 2.2 meters or so. And it would explain why they can carry 3 trees at once.^^

So, another update and this will be the last for Colonial Houses.

I have stumbled into a red zone where I have resources from NMT/CC
to make certain things possible. See it as a test.
The mod works on it's own and it should work with NMT/CC. Tell me if not.

It was fun reading your wishes for an update.

@DesoPL - You didn't write it here but here is a small toolmaker for you.
First I called it 'Deso's Hardware' but then I thought - it is not funny to see that every day.

@Gatherer - You asked for it. Here it is. Herb Bread and Blueberry Jam.

@The Pilgrim - Thanks for starting this whole package. I didn't know I was
going to go so deep into it. I hope I didn't spoil the immersion by texturing
as wildly as I did.

Damn sooon looks great.

[The Pilgrim]

Beautiful. You did an amazing job.

[kid1293]

Thanks.

I guess I go on vacation now.
Or testing all the newly released mods for a while. 

Slàinte Math!
