Cities are a real pain getting the detail but not spending forever.
Can you compare Nendo to Sketchup?
I notice that in the free version it disables saves and exports...

Izware Nendo (who owns it now) offers the app for $49
Compared to Sketchup which free - no comparison. However as a subdivisional surface modeler, I think Nendo is great.
No other 3D modeling app gives me as much freedom to create organic models, animals, plants, monsters - the smooth capability after you model at a lower number of faces creates smooth and rounded shapes with great success.
Really I'd use Nendo to create my complex shapes and models then import to a more complete rendering application like Sketchup.

Thread jack on myself...
Here's a complex, organic 3D model I created a few months back. It was modeled in Nendo, then exported to old Raydream Studio where I textured and rendered it. I used it as a map object in an overhead view, but here it is in an isometric view.
The Aboleth...

Just what I was thinking. No secret that my current game throws the players against an aboleth with a fiendish kraken minion - hence all the water maps. That would be an excellent token to add to the game. Pretty please?
When I first post my early hand-drawn map WIP for Darkovia, I will upload the overhead view map object of the Aboleth, for you Torstan. OK?

Torstan - here's your top view aboleth (200 ppi, 800 pixel sq. approx.) since aboleth measure from 12 to 20+ feet in length.
I'll probably post this in the Map Elements thread, as well...
