Brilliant! I'm waiting to see what comes next! As for crenellation, I would suggest wall type crenellation, which would be compatible with curved crenellation. If you go railing type, it would means having round floors with tabs for railings.... |

@ZenGuy: Oh I agree curved crenallations will be tricky... but curved railings all the more so because of having to deal with sliding the tabs into the floortile as you're bending it around. But I wish the best of luck!...uh, skill? |

I've been monitoring this thread with considerable interest. I should also mention I have been prototyping some round elements of my own for TLX. Nothing solid yet mind you, nothing substantial, pre-pre-beta stuff. I'll be very interested to see what choices you make, they could be influential going forward. |

It's taking ages to make progress... I managed to get all kinds of sick. Now that I'm healthy, my wife is all kinds of sick. The kids... they seem to always demand more attention when you only have 10% of your energy... I feel like I've made a million pieces, and still nothing is quite finished. I need a ton of anchors and posts and walls to finish up the rounded towers... |

Trying not to completely stall out while life gets in the way. I had to take the castle down so my wife could reclaim the dining room. It's probably for the best - looking at it was always overwhelming. I'll make something on a smaller scale just so I can try out some things without feeling like I need to make a dozen of EVERYTHING. Anyway, change of pace. I thought I'd take a few minutes to try out converting the building walls. Here are some sample shots of 6" walls: I've tried to avoid scaling the original textures at all, but I want to keep some of the original details. The original walls are MUCH larger than the TLX format, so something's gotta give. My liberal use of the clone tool doesn't seem too bad though, does it? For example, I had to remove some of the metal pieces from the exterior of the wall when the door/window were there. But, it worked out OK. Also, I didn't scale the railing, and I pieced together the peeling wall areas. I think they are pretty true to the original. There are some challenges with the door (the original doesn't fit on a TLX wall) and with some of the other window styles, but I'll keep plugging away. I think, ideally, I'll have maybe three different 6" walls, and four different 3" walls. For posts, I'll try to retain the nice corner stone texture on the walls. It's somewhat comforting to think that I'm only doing regular height walls here - no double-height angular curved blah blah blah... After I get these done, I'll try to convert the roof! |

I printed out a couple roof pieces and small trusses, and two 6" walls. This gives me some idea of what these pieces will ultimately look like: I almost think the tiles look too large for the scale of the building. I might have to try another printing after scaling the tiles down some to see what I like better. Still, I think they look pretty Ok. This is another 6" wall. I like how the walls came out - they look really nice assembled. I totally am looking forward to doing some with transparencies! Here you can see the small truss piece. The posts and 3" walls were just Himmelveil Streets pieces I had close by. I think they (the bashed CWU pieces) are going to look really nice once I get some more wall textures done. |

I can't remember the exact name of the tiles you're using, but they are about 2 to 3 times bigger than they should be. The basic texture's fine, though you'll want to grunge up the final 'wall' piece for each one to make them mesh with the buildings more as well. |

I just found this thread and I have to say Michael, that I am in awe of your work. Did you ever get this finished ? Either way, fantastic stuff. |
