Medival Ages - z1mmnd14
 
The title of my theme is:

'An Underground Medival Weapons Storage Dungeon'

it'll be a brick wall dungeon that contains sword racks, wall holders for sheild and other medival weapons...etc......

I wont be doing any characters as i'm just learning the basics of modelling and dont want to spend the whole time on just one bad looking character.

sounds good already. You could make it an abandoned weapons storage area with old damaged weapons and armor

sorry not really a comment on your theme, but can more than 1 person have the same theme? I was going to go along the same lines as yourself but yoiu have beaten me to the line :(

If I can't nevermind.

Cheers

I posted the following on the Maya Chat fourm, but i'll post it here too.

Ok...can any one help me in locating the following textures/shaders:

- Realistic Metal
- Old Rusting Metal
- Dirt/Mud (i.e. from the ground)
- Realistic Stone/Rock
- Cloth/Cotton

Note: i looked at highend3d.com and i clicked on some of the shaders i needed but all i got is a larger image of the thumbnail sample...any one know what i'm doing wrong.

You could try
http://denfo.grc.ru/i_shaders.asp

They have a nice selection of Free Maya shaders.

or,,,,,,, you can always ceate your own.:)

P.S. Sword looks nice.

NICE GEMS!!

If you've got a scanner, then I'd reccomend making your own textures because you can get exactly what you want. Just remember to cover the glass with clear plastic first so you don't scratch it with the rusted metal ;)!

Oh, btw - a photo of dirt often makes a better/easier texture than trying to scan the dirt itself.

good idea....:)

Just an update as to what i'm gonna do. I'm taking on your idea 'JB' and making it an 'abandoned underground weapons storage area'.

This is the things you'll find in the dungeon:
- wooden shelves (some broken)
- a ripped St Georges flag
- shackles on the walls
- sticks stuck in dirt piles set alight at the top
- fire sticks 'sticking' out of the walls
- a sword rack containing the sword pictured above
- scattered helmets, shilds...etc

The walls in the above images and just temporary. I'm gonna make each brick manually but i need a bit of help first. Does anyone know how i can curve/smooth the edges of poly cube. I'm trying to make rockes/bricks that can make up the wall. At first i looked into using Subd's but their corners are too smooth. I wanna have slightly round edges on the poly cube...any help?

Any finally....i'll have the concept drawings posted 2morro

:)

The corners of Sub-d's can be creased to make them sharp, or partial crease for an "in-between". Partial crease is sometimes too soft, but if you refine the subdivision level and then partial crease it at the higher division then the crease will be sharper (eg. see the recent edges on the big gold bit of my sword).

Otherwise, poly's can be smoothed by clicking polygons>smooth poly's

PS. it might be easier to just bump-map the walls.
