Thank you, the star wars modelling alliance used to have a jabba palace throne room and market place (interiors) but it looks like the site is gone now. :(

These buildings are to scale in Poser, so they are huge. If you load them, and you don't see anything, that will mean your camera is inside the building and you need to zoom out. The rest of the set features the Tower, Fat Tower, Observation Tower and Barracks. All modelled by Gary and Catherine, new team members at Vanishing Point.

We hope everyone enjoys the models. Download them all and render till your CPU melts ;) The people at VP did all the texturing and from what I can tell it looks really good. Gary and Catherine

"...from what I can tell it looks really good" As one of the VP texture artists I plead guillty to that one:) Seriously though thanks. Getting the tone right and colours right was tricky. Looked at a combination of Ralph McQuarries art and various photos, seemed like they used different colours. Finally found some suitable images in an tatty poster magazine from the 80's. Then mapped up using my texture libary. Sometimes a good book beats google :)

Book? What's a book. I remember my parents had some of those, but that was before they had electricity. :-) Actually, a cool resource is the Complete Locations book. Well worth the price if you get it second hand.
