Spahbod Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 This is a picture of WIP Mauryan barracks I am making using Enrique's Eggbird's wonderful textures. Needs a little bit more UV mapping and addition of props (which should be made. especially shields) Suggestions are welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almin Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) I think the inner courtyard / atrium needs to be more lively...e.g. through adding some barrels or something else... but you probably had that in your mind already. But apart from that it looks great! Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to see it finished one day. edit: As it should be a barrack, I think weapons, shields or some sort of armor might fit better than barrels Edited September 9, 2012 by Almin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layout looks good, but the barrel-roof looks a too big right now in compared with the building's size.By the way, those awesome textures are made by Eggbird, not by me and they're are wonderful indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MishFTW Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Good start. I think the corners of the dome could be more subtle. But since its not a grand structure like the CC or temple, I'd use a flat roof rather than the curved roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hmm... I was hoping for a layout more along the lines of the Persian or maybe Roman barracks. The back part needs to be the tallest for consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilstewie Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) I just think it looks weird how it curves.Btw, you guys should add these shields."a" Edited September 9, 2012 by lilstewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Yep, Amish's example is a better layout. I'd even add another leg for a U shape, with a wall in front and entrance.Another thing is I should point out, only the larger buildings should be stone. All other smaller buildings, like houses and mill and farmstead and such should be the wooden/white plaster look. As far as shields go, a full set of shields for units need to be modeled and textured first before folks start adding shields as props to buildings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I completely agree, all/most Mauryan buildings should have the wooden/white plaster look. I think they'll look much much better in-game. Everyone working on the civ structures should take a look through these video clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield Bearer Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 That square outbuilding looks like a good start for the arms of the barracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishFTW Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I think the barracks should be flat topped, like the little building in the picture Amish posted. No sense in having a military building overly ornate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilstewie Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) I was thinking something more along this line for the barracks...it needs to look grand imo That's beautiful...I just want to say try to use thinner arches for this period. Not so much of the thick ones, because it's a later style. But If you guys choose not to, that's ok.

Shield Bearer Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 What do you mean 'thinner' arches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilstewie Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) ^^^^^^^^I may not be explaining it right, but these 'thick' arch designs are from later dynasties.(Mauryan's successors)Here is an example of 'thin' ones below. Rock cut directly from the Mauryan period. Not from their successors.reliefs from their successors. Still used the design from time to time.thinThe top arches are thinner, bottom arches are thicker.

lilstewie Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) There is an image like this showing the different arch types on the internet. Showing the different designs in different dates like with the stupas above. It would make sense to you guys If I can find it.Mauryans had a thin design like this mostly. The earliest form.Later these archs evolved and became more elaborate and thick.these arches above are Gupta period I believe.Good example Edited September 10, 2012 by lilstewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I think the proportions on the right example are off. The proportions on Amish's example are better (except for the door heights; the same problem occurs on the Civ Centre). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spahbod Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Both examples are same things except that the right one has a barrel roof. I don't understand clearly which proportions are off, so, alittle help is appreciated. What should I do for it to be right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield Bearer Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Well, he's saying the size of the building to the size of the roof is off. Looks like a person with too big a head for his body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sighvatr Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Will some of these be downloadable? I would like to download buildings as they are being produced. Like a card collection, you gotta have more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
