Very nice indeed! I can't wait to see the end result...I'm a 3d artist myself and I love seeing what other people do to brign 3d into mapping. Nice...repped.

I love the gatehouse! I dabble in 3d work and am looking forward to seeing the rest of it. Bryce 5.5 is being given away free by DAZ, so that might give you some good options as to a textured terrain.

Quick Question-
Are the horizontal lines on the building walls texture, or actual surface lines?

The gatehouse looks pretty nice. It is a little hard to get a feeling for the shape of the land without texture to it, but that is something that can be added as you go along.
The concept of the city is pretty interesting.
OOOoooooooo to have more free time to learn it (i have just too much on my plate to learn it).

The horizontal lines on the gate house are meant to imitate slabs of stone that make up the walls of the gate house. I haven't decided if they will stay or go as of yet. Perhaps slight coloration changes in the stone texture will be applied to convey this idea. I do have the option to remove all outlining lines from the model before export to a 2-D image.
Additionally, texturing will be one of my final steps because it tends to slow down the application. I agree that texture is needed. Terrain generation seems to slow the application down significantly as well, so it too will have to wait.
Thanks for the interest and comments, it makes the clicking away more worth while.

Here is the updated city with each of its levels supported with arches or plain stone walls.
The upper levels include government buildings and the wealthier persons with wealth decreasing quickly toward the lower/center levels. Additionally, crowding will increase, building materials used will be of lower quality and the building sizes will be decreased as well.

Good work so far.
The only crit I really have is that there does not seem to be a way (unless it is underground) to traverse the different levels of the city. How are you planning to incorporate that in?

What???? You mean there is NO MAGIC RENDER BUTTON!
I plan on using ramps of various degrees and sizes for merchant traffic and stairs for the pedestrian traffic. Other suggestions/ comments are welcome.
