**Hear Ye, Hear Ye!** In the Jousting Arena today there will be 'Swords On Foot', 'Swords On Horse', 'Spears On Foot', 'Maces At Forty Paces', and as the highlight of the Tournament: **'The Joust'!!** At high noon ye shall be amazed with Falconry and behind the Arena for the kiddies ye shall find Jesters, Fools, Food, and not to mention Ale to quench ye weary thirst!

So without any further adue, LETS R..U..M..B..L..E!!

Just a down-and-dirty test of the first two segments of my Jousting Area Set. These are just photo textures thrown on as the 2 segments (main two decked viewing platform, one 'right-hand-side' stair set) are fully mapped individualy for custom texturing. There is also an assortment of Wooden Crest Shields to decorate the stand's front panels and railings. The main section can be lined up end-to-end to extend the length of any Arena!

Still planned are:
->'Deeper' center section for Royalty viewing (with a 'throne deck' and rear entrances)
->Stadium End-Entrance Gates
->Arena Center Divider (for the Jousts)
->Grader/Cryier Stand

** Now I have a few questions (keep in mind this is my first ever attempt so Beat Me Up!):

  1. Does this look like something useful enough for Free Stuff?
  2. I am still having some difficulty with Poser 'rounding out' my edges.
    q. In UVMapper, does hitting "Tools->Split Verticals" accumulate in value? Or is it a 'one-time' effect?
  3. The main section is 980K in 'obj format', I was hoping for 400K~500K.
    q. I've heard of "reducing verticals"? How, and would this help without scrafice?

Thank ye to our trio of daring warriors who risked and life and limb to to make the first daring test of the structor's integrity.
Thank Ye:

P.S.
And thanks Gerald and AprilYSH for all the help in getting me started...way in over my head! ;-)
