hi, any idea for my next model ? give me some suggestione and if you can some links to see what you want... Luca.

well are you still in the mood for castles and ruins or are you looking for ideas/inspiration for something more modern?

We're in October....so how about a spooky crypt for Halloween? We all love your castles but you probably like a change sometimes :-)

choose some of challenge ;)

Sticking with the Halloween theme, could you maybe create a Gothic Cathedral?

Gothic Cathedral is a nice theme, but i've already consumed much time for make a cathedral model... you can see it in free stuff..

Mausoleum ? Graveyard? Though they've both been done before. I have dungeons but I don't recall seeing any cool crypts :)

How about a Gothic graveyard ? Complete, with broken gate, weird trees, elaborate tombs and spooky statues. Think about the typical Hellboy cemetary. If not.... how about catacombs ? :)

...what about some old, haunted house ? Something like the Addam's family one, or similar... =)))

Old gothic houses, smaller scale than castles, would be nice - something to dot the landsdape with when you don't need anything as large as a castle. I can think of loads of uses for those - haunted or unhaunted, of course.

I'd love to have some interior rooms of a castle. A great hall, maybe a tower room, dungeon...

... perhaps something like your old village but more mediterranean styled. I can imagin some very romantic images with those models. Norbert

How about New York's Chrysler Building! I would love a detailed model of that for Vue. But if not, I would be happy to see a Mediterranean Village too...

Actually I like Veritas & Norberts ideas. I'll even be more grandiose...how bout the NYC skyline...one building at a time of course ;) LOL....Anything you choose to do will be fantastic I'm sure! Good luck :)

Some great ideas, I like the interior room for a castle, ball room, great room, etc. But whatever you choose, I'm certain it will be downloaded and more importantly, be used.

hoe about the Rivendale buildings from Tolkeins Lord of the Rings or The Towers from the same stories keep up the great work, it is fantastic! Arkenstone

So many castles...though it might take some research...how about something to assualt them? Catapaults? Or, in later years, canon? Assualt ladders? Battering rams? If you prefer buildings (or something like that), how about some great ornate bridges? Covered bridges? Or, experiment, futuristic bridges! Or, if you want to change from medieval things, how about Arabian tents/camps? Buildings like the Taj Mahal? Red Square type things like in Moscow? Or if you really want to let your imagination run crazy, futuristic city buildings. As always, though, with free things, enjoy yourself! All your stuff is amazing!

I still say, the diner, a real good diner is what we need... :)

Chuckevans said -> "Or, if you want to change from medieval things, how about Arabian tents/camps? Buildings like the Taj Mahal?" Arabian style buildings sounds good... haven't seen many of those around.

BTW- you can get TONS of 3d models FREE from this website. There is even a free 3D modeling app to load and view all the models you can download. Plus you can convert them to 3DS and other formats using 3D Explorer.

Lots of temples, churches, museums, schools, etc.

While these are fairly low-rez models, they can be scaled up and "cloned" in another 3D app for more precise details and texturing...

I never figured out how to use those, Veritas777...although there are some cool things at that site.

Mediterranean villiage type models would be so super! Lots of possibilities for those.

I'm also for the >> Mediterranean villiage type models <<
So many scenes one can use it for.

And castle interiors!

Isn't it wonderful to be able to just sit around and ask for models!? :o) Thank you Rodluc for being so kind to us!

I'd love a fairy tale castle, lots of towers and crenelations. But I will love anything that comes up!

Its not the most detailed model (nor is it perfect..well, it was two years ago), but its four solid walls and a roof into which you could add things to suit yourself.

Ooh, yeah, the render on the top right in my last post was not complete - thats why it looks very .. blockish ;)

There are many lovely ideas and I would be happy with any of them. Just thought for some variety and inspiration I'd post some thoughts and pictures: To stay with the suggested spooky stuff - how about some old english houses, like victorian or edwardian? To make dark, foggy city streets... examples: http://www.myenglandhotels.com/london-hotels/comfort-inn-bayswater-hotel.jpg http://www.alwayswelcome.com/images/london_bnb_south_east_armen.jpg Staying in London: Tower Bridge? Westminster? Or city lights stuff to put Vue 5's new lighting features to the test? Like neon-lit shops or so. http://quakey.com/other/design/stars/1999-neon.jpg A little more quiet? After my vacation there, I, personally, could do well with some swedish houses like http://www.mandalaworld.de/Bigfishing/Fotos/Haus in Schweden.jpg but you might also like to do an idyllic windmill or farm. Prefer something technical? Maybe a San Francisco Cable Car? http://www.bigfoto.com/sites/galery/san-francisco/san_francisco_47_cable.jpg Or rather a getaway from reality to let your imagination run wild? Then perhaps something like the home of Santa Claus at the North Pole, Hogwarts, some Alien Spaceship or a place in Ankh-Morpork on Discworld (see http://www.ankhmorpork.brfc.net/ for some basics)...

Hogwarts ... now that is a very cool idea!

Lots of possibilities for creepy renders with those towers in the distance :-)

Of course, it would have to be a Hogwarts-alike ... how about 'PigWarts'? Lovely :-|

well, many great idea, i think my next releases will be about yours suggestions, and this is the "maybe" order : 1 - Gothic graveyard 2 - Mediterranean Village 3 - Roman Colosseum 4 - a castle pack with weapons 5 - a castle pack with some "interior room castle" ... my God...a lot of work :) PS : in my website first WIp image on Gothic graveyard ;P

Late to the party, but I will second the creepy victorian like mansions (or even the non creepy type). Can never have too many victorian mansions. Thanks again for all your wonderful modelling. I am still putting together the scene with your wonderful Lord Richard's castle.

Djeser- the GreatBuilding.Com models are in 3DMF format. You can download a free copy of 3D Exploration and it will convert them to 3DS, LWO, etc. Castles, graveyards, Med Villages- all fine with me...!
