Dec/Jan 2014 liteChallenge: MiltonMills village

[Bogie]

I have only done a few village maps in the past, but I used a new technique (new for me anyway) recently so I am working on a new map for this challenge.

The grass background is a modified grass by Hero339 (from DA) with water and gravel textures from cgTextures.

Good start Bogie. I know this will be filled with interesting objects.

[Bogie]

Thanks, I am going to try to add mostly objects that I made myself.

I have added some of the houses, the bridges and the waterfall.

I think there's some problem with the buildings roofs shadows. Since you're using elements that you've probably rotated, some buildings don't have the sahdows in the same direction.

[Bogie]

Yeah, the shadows are already on the roofs. So the best I could do is try to keep the shadows down and to the right as much as I could. Once I get all the buildings on the map, I will try to correct the shadows as much as I can.

Since the shadows on some buildings seems light, you can probably build some heavy ones on the opposite side to make the trick.

[Bogie]

Added more buildings and some of the smaller lanes. Need to add trees and details.

Bogie,

it is looking good.

How did you make the waterfall? it looks great.

[Bogie]

Thanks Ken, I used this waterfall cover from the Dundjinni Forums. I altered the shape, then used a 50% transparency and layered several copies. Then I used a transparent Ocean Foam cover to make the downriver foam.
