Small Village
Another small village. This is the start of a larger scene.
Road leading fromt eh village will go to a small castle which i plan to do next.
Again, this is done in Vue, so I am including a wide angle perspective view as well.
enjoy
How long did this take you?
I notice everything is on a basically flat plane. How hard would this be on randomly generated hills?
This is really really pretty. I like it more than your previous scene.
Makes you wonder what gamers, even the table top variety will demand in a couple of years. The desktop computers seem to be scaling..... interesting times.

Glad you liked it.
I actually started it on a hill, and decided to move it to a flat terrain to fit with the next one I have in mind. It is faily simple to generate and use hills.
Total time to generate including building the masks was about 3 hours, give or take a bit.
Another piece of sweetness there PF. I'd do something about the tiling on the road tho.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Yup gotta agree about the tiling, just a bit of a hiccup for an overall nice piece of work

Updated the Road
Ok - Good comments on the road. I wasn't sure I liked it either. See what you think of this texture.
Texture is much better, but maybe the roads are a bit too perfect.
If this is a rural village I don't think they would have perfectly manicured road edges. Perhaps "rough" up the edges a bit.

An excellent suggestion. Here it is with the edges roughed up and blended into the surrounding terrain.
That helps a bunch I think.

It's good, but to me the thing with the roads is:
1. Why are they so wide? I see no evidence of Carts, or other conveyanced to necessitate such wide lanes.
2. Why do the roads/lanes go so far past a door? Especially around the church. People (and animals for that matter) use routes/paths of least resistance. It is why there are game trails in the wilderness, becuase it is easier to walk on.
My suggestion (and it's only a suggestion) is the side lanes leading to indivudual buildings would be more narrow and maybe only go as far as a doorway, and maybe around the side (to a wood pile or something). Beyound that, the paths would not see as much traffic and therefore not experience as much wear.
Otherwise, I like it.
