Hey man your progress is awesome and your concept is very interesting. I cant wait to see this finalized.

I happen to see this thread and it made me think of an image i saw not to long ago. Here:


Enjoy

love the city progress, looks great. are the people angry at the god? maybe they would like to have a big middle finger sticking up towards the sky

[Turvs]

Wow city looks amazing cant wait to see what the hand will look like.

[NeoGeo]

@ Gerion

Thanks for the input man, haven't knew about this pic! And it basically looks very similar to what I am aiming for (just with the different hand position), but if I just imagine buildings instead of small people down there - there it is!

@ sarN

Haha, yeah...well, guess this town would be hit with the apocalypse right after

@ NeoGeo

Yea, I also think i didn't use it enough Anyway, there is more than greeble right now and there will be much more in the end.

@ Turvs, MightyReg and all above

Thank you very much guys, really appreciate it!

[Stoneking]

Wow, great work Evil, congrats!

impressive work dude, thumbs up.

[evilllama]

Thanks Stoneking and Cuban!

@ Stoneking (city is having around 1 million triangles). I am about to bake the normal maps onto boxes in the end probably, and save much of a memory, this is gonna be hi poly model that I'll take the normals from. At the end, it\ll probably have around 1.5 millions, when I model and insert all that stuff that I am planning to do for this environmental part.


And now, to the Tower of all Towers!

[nihilicon]

I can't even contemplate how you'd create something this complex in such a short time, but it looks amazing already. Well done.

[evilllama]

Me neither

But, I'll certainly do my best, I just hope that i won't be ovrewhelmed with work so I can make a bit of pic every day.

Hey guys, let's make this topic a bit more poetic! (yeah right )

So, as you've seen from the concept, this tower has been started at the dawn of a mankind. At every period of time, people have had different vision on how it should look like, and every epoch have been upgraded onto the base of the previous one. I will draw quick sketches of each plan, with the ideas of each period, and let's see how the tower changed throughout history.

Chapter I - Ancient times

The first stone of the Tower of all towers have been brought to the highest mountain by the monks somewhere between 3000 and 5000 years BC. They wanted to make this great monument for that time, about 30 meters high, with the Hand of Creed on top of it, to establish the connection to their Gods. On the surface of the hand, all the prayers were carved, and read everyday, until the tooth of time destroyed the weak monument and prepared a place for a new era.

[evilllama]

And here it is what's left of this temple nowdays.....ruined, without a hand...but still a base for the Tower of all Towers....

First 3d WIP of tower itself

[evilllama]

Ok, you obviously didn't like the ancient part, judgeing by the lack of comments

So, to stage two - Medieval part

Monumental Hand of Creed suffered heavy natural damage during 4000 years and finally vanished. Monks haven't had any funding to build another one, so have left medieval leaders to finally upgrade building in their own ways. Along with the blessing of the monks, it took 800 years to build Castle of Gods and Men on top of the ancient temple.
God has never been closer to the people.

[MightyReg]

That's coming out great! The medieval sketch looks nice, I think you should put your towers more on the borders because like that it seems it would be difficult for the future generation to build on top of it.

great concept and progress!
