February Entry: Werthers Skull

[Redrobes]

Ok ill try that bone texture thing. My skull model was really rough but if its nearly transparent then it ought not to matter too much. It would be a good excuse to use it more effectively than just for getting some floor slices.

Ill put people in on the top down one but not for the 3D view mainly because I have some neat top down icons (which aren't mine I should add) and they wont render in 3D anyway.

Ok Im done. Just as a refresher, I took this image as a starting point :-

and the back story is basically above which is that in some out of time, out of place on the Astral plane the Githyanki were holding fort inside their converted deity skeleton battling some unknown high magic force when the whole thing was hit by multiple prismatic sprays sending the, unusually magic resistant, skeleton hurtling dimensionally across the aether landing buried in sandy rock on some distant and very inhospitable outer plane.

The party consisting of a few extra high level characters have discovered the skull as time has whittled the sand away leaving the hard bone skull. Still with some of its Gith interior apperel, the party have converted this as their hideaway and base.

On the top floor is stashed the mountain of gold pieces and other valuables. On the next level down is the warriors and clerics. The next is the powerful wizard (wearing red robes of course...) and then on the lower level is the continually full water pool.

The four levels are drawn top down scaled to fit, then there is the piece de resistance cutaway (which was a lot of fun to do).

Nice work, Redrobes. That 3D view is great; I'm glad it was fun to create, for it sure is fun to view! Good entry.

Very Cool cutaway!

I like the cutaway view as well, but the spiral stairs from the bottom floor does not appear to line up with the next level up.

Really cool stuff - but ditto what NeonKnight said.

Hi RR,

I really like your bone stair and you fractal rug, plus the cutaway view as everyone else.

Just one question: does any of you room get and outside view?
On the first map, the second level from the top seems to be at the eye level of the head. It could be an idea to put some kind of window (maybe magical one) that would let the mage see outside and let the light enter.
