Awesome as always!! When will Minipack #7 be released?

Drat! I almost got in the front row. Oh, wait...this isn't Dr. Geep's class! (sorry) Hey, is this some "Jack-the-Ripper"-era stuff? I'm looking forward to it.

This is great news and it looks like you're off to a good start. For reference material I'd suggest checking books and sites relating to Jack the Ripper as many of them have contemporary pictures of the murder sites. www.casebook.org has some in their Victorian London section. Gustave Dore's illustrations of London, although made slightly earlier, will also be useful as the architecture in the East End didn't change much. I'm really looking forward to this one so let me know if I can help with refernces (I'm based in London). Dan

Thanks for the responses gang... Kayjay: soon... very soon. I had this thought hit me over the weekend, and wanted to get a proof of concept down first. I pretty much suspended work during the holidays due to vacation and a new baby, but things are ramping back up. ChuckEvans: You got it... it's based on my research around the Ripper period. DanR: Coincidentally, casebook was the site where I got quite a bit of reference material. I'll look for Dore's book to add to it. Also, any reference photos, textures, etc. you can supply will get you a freebie when I'm done. :o)

OOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on the new baby!!!!!

I'll be happy to help, freebie or no freebie. The building shown looks similar to 29 Hanbury Street, though without the attic windows. The casebook site has a close-up of the brickwork on some of the still remaining buildings. Are these the king of shots you're looking for? If so, I can head down there at the weekend with my digital camera.

Good eye! It was based on the 29 Hanbury Street photo. I added the attic as an option to get better usage out of the model. I'll likely do optional dormers, etc. in others. regarding the camera, I'd much appreciate hi-res brick, stone, street, etc. textures of period structures still standing. That would be awesome! For comparison, here's the link to the source image as posted on the casebook website: http://www.casebook.org/victorian_london/sitepics.w-han.html

Awwwwwwwww................. What a little angel :-)

Looking good! I'll head out this weekend to get those pics for you. There are certainly still examples of original brickwork and cobbles around, though the light isn't too good this time of year. Interested in the Ten Bells Public House as a corner piece?

ABSOLUTELY! That was one of the buildings I was going to work on. I have a couple of new images of the exterior, and was going to see how 'old' I could get it. Anything and EVERYTHING reference and texture-wise is appreciated.

I've just read that The Ten Bells exterior isn't original, so maybe The Pricess Alice (now called City Darts) would be better. I've also decided to join a Jack the Ripper tour conducted by Donald Rumbelow (author of The Complete Jack the Ripper), which seems a painless and educational way to do some scouting. I'll IM you when I have something for you.

I have some pictures of the "Jack the Ripper" street in Madame Tusaud's (sp?) museum (I think) but they are on slides and in the attic somewhere (sniff).

If they're handy, that'd be great, but if your attic is like mine, I wouldn't go up there for money! lol

Jeff she is just gorgeous - I wish you all the best!

Wow - I've been looking all over for Victorian London buildings. These look great!! Please let us know when they're in the MP. I'll definitely grab them!

Just saw the post regarding Transpond's set... LOL.. Looks like great minds think alike.

Significantly different though I think. Personally I'm waiting for the release of yours too!

BTW, congrats on the new family addition Jeff!

I keep waiting for that " liteluvr has updated a new product" message...............

oh the AGONY of the wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is ... well to put it simply...... awesome

I'm not sure but I think the brightness (gamma?) on your monitor, lite, is off. Your images are coming out really dark! All the other images I see are fine so, I'm assuming your monitor setting is a bit off. Anyone else see it as too dark?

This one was indeed a dark image, by design. I lowered the brightness settings on the Poser lights to see how well the textures would fare in low light. The other images were done with a standard 3 light setup I have configured. Since I don't really do a lot of Poser images, I keep the lights to a minumum to facilitate fast test renders. Good eye though.

Tks, lite. Oh, and just so ya know...I'm gonna get this set and the RDNA set. I suspect a lot of people will want as much variety as they can get.

I haven't taken a long look at the Transpond set yet. Somehow I want to make sure that I don't 'one-off' Chris and Judith's stuff. I'm hoping that the two sets will nicely complement each other.

Belive me, they will complement each other, Yep, sure will!

One difference is the addition of "small" items in the RDNA product (and I can use those anywhere...grin). I have a Poser saying (well, it's a ripoff of another saying) that is: "He who dies with the most Poser buildings WINS!".

'He who dies with the most Poser buildings WINS!' lol - exactly Chuck, exactly! I think both sets are going to complement each other nicely, you can never have too many buildings! lol like kayjay I'm just waiting for my 'liteluvr has uploaded a new product' message...

I just got the White Chapel set and the first thing I thought when I saw this was, "Yes! I can have a full city block (or 3) between the two sets!"

these are fantastic. i've been looking to find something just like this for a short film. great work!

Nice! Slurp! Boring us? Doubt it. At least not me. So, where did the sidewalks and streets come from? Is all that going to be included?

Boring us? BORING us???? I don't think so. What you are doing is teasing the hell out of us though, LOL ETA on any of this??

Very nice

Thanks for the update. Looks like a really nice package. I particularly like the realism of the moldy horse poopy in the streets here and there. Nice touch! (LOL)

Wow! How are you going to fit this all into 25M?

heh heh..... THAT'S the next task at hand.....

This is just simply fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait till it hits :) Estimated price? ( like right now it's gonna matter :)

Like always... 10-15 bucks. I've had more fun doing this one than anyone oughta be allowed to have. A friend saw these images and thought they were move from the "Gangs of New York" era, which in retrospect were really the same basic time period, just on different continents.... interesting...

Looking GOOD!

How long will we have to wait?????
