BETA: New Medieval Town : v0.4 with Cathedral Wonder

[bubbamcgee]

Red...  I love your models and how this whole project is turning out.  It looks great.  But, maybe I'm missing something, or you can explain something.  What is the purpose of the spikes on top of the third floor... especially on the rooflines where they are not flat?  I think they look very odd, especially with how tall they are.  I just don't see the purpose to them, nor do they look good, and don't they add unnecessary polys?

thats something i saw on some of games and some 3D, and pretty sure it exist also in real life. it is a decoration on some roof. it is usually made of wrought iron. yes they add abit of poly, but saved what i could and i didnt put flowers it is another style. anyone else never seen those (or saw them?)


keep in mind that is a bit.... gothic ^^

let me find some link to show you

well i've seen spikes on roofs. Usually to keep pigeons, gulls and other flying rats off the roof.

i edited to post some links

i dunno maybe i ve put too many ?

Nice building but the sharp spikes along the roof ridge line are a bit too much.    And perhaps a little less spiky... more like the Turbo Squid house.
It is a residential house and the spikes would alter the farming town image.

Floor 3 Model 5 : more conventionnal no spikies

3rd floor model 5 looks awesome!

Are there any recognition sites out there for mods and modders?
At this rate, although premature, I'd be quite tempted to nominate NMT "mod of the year".

Those models without the spikes look really awesome!  Love them Red!!!  I would vote for this 110%!

Red, I have to tell you, that "room" resting on the roof of the house not too keen me..
seems just ... so.. resting .. 
I can not imagine "in reality" how you can access and how it can be used .. reading room which is accessed by a ladder little bit accessible?
but it is only my opinion eh .. everything else really outstanding !! 

and Red .. forgive me .. but tonight I'll do another experiment .. 
don't worry.. no houses in the air !! I promise!! 
but I'll try to use your medieval houses to create a corner ..
putting the access stairs of the first floor in the back of the entry of the ground floor rather than in the side!
we see as it is presented at the end and if it is possible then to continue to make a building "L"! 

[assobanana76]

failed experiment.. 
not fit together well! 

[RedKetchup]

yeah you can say it FAIL! 

[assobanana76]
