underground Dwarven district on asteroid "The Rock of Bral"

[unicorn]

In our campaign, the Dwarven district on the asteroid, The Rock of Bral, was renovated with magic to have a 3-story tall Dwarven "mall" that has sub-levels. The Dwarves live in the sub-levels, and their shops are in the top above-ground levels.

I hand-drew the maps, and they are functional, but poor. If anyone wants to take the hand-drawn maps and make them nice, I'm putting the set at this site:

The already-nice maps of greater Bral are borrowed from another site. One square is 27.5 feet on the hand-drawn maps (to make them match the scale on the Dwarven District map with the scale shown from the published Rock of Bral map.)

* Circles on the maps represent spiral stairs, normally to all levels. But circles can also be tables (especially when in the courtyards), drawn way to large and not-to-scale.
* Squiggles within rooms represent stairs, too, but normally only to the next level.
*The hexagon is an existing Bral tower that was not allowed to be demolished since it was owned by the prince. The new structure just incorporated it.

At 27.5 ft / square, these rooms are larger than you think. The length of the entire complex is 1100 feet.

I can provide the shop descriptions and owner's race for each and every room, too, if you want them. Not all shops are Dwarven.

I don't think I'll get around to doing your Dwarven section, but, if you want, if I get this finished and rendered in the next few weeks, I can send you some 3d Braal stuff?

It's for my own campaign. Obviously, it's only been a few hours work so far, and all the details have to go on. It's not a 'real' 3d model, but a 3d map if you like (low poly). It's done in Sketchup, and then rendered in Vue.

So Rusty, what's your plan? Are you going to try to do the whole top side? From the Dwarven District Maps I included above, you can see how many buildings there are. So that will be a huge undertaking.

Unicorn,

I've 'cut out' the main hold, and will do a little modelling for the interior.

The buildings will be in the shape of the 'block' and then sudivided. These subdivisions will be raised and lowered to give the impression of individual houses.

I will add windows, as when imported into Vue these can be made luminous, that way the Rock can 'shine'.

I can give you the finished model (copyrighted to me :-) , so you can 'take pictures' from Sketchup. I'll also email any finished renders. Can you email me your plans. I may be able to do a rough 3d model for you quickly.

It will look like a better version of this (the City of Iuz):

It wont look quite as nice as my 3d zeppelins; however.

Ok, 25 minutes work. I cheated the 'lower quarter' is Edinburgh (UK) period slums. The upper layers will be 2 story, villas or townhouses.
