EDIT: Nevermind.

Thanks!
I was thinking about making a flaming eye, but didn't get around to it yet.
And the tower already reaches the topmost level, so I probably can't even build it

If you can make clear glass, just turn the top into a bowl and fill it with magma.

Unfortunately, that won't work in 0.802, since glass constructions aren't transparent anymore, and the magma supposedly wouldn't have been visible through it anyways. My current (and first ever) megaproject consists of a 23 Z-level hollow clear glass pyramid filled with magma (though it'll be a few years before it finishes filling), so understandably I also want Visual Fortress to render the walls as semi-transparent.

Mordae grats on the tower, but what does the inside of it look like?

Spoiler: Goes off to make some tolken stuff. (click to show/hide)

Goes without saying but it must be the Mines of Moria (also known as Khazad-dûm, The Black Chasm, The Black Pit, Dwarrowdelf, Hadhodrond, and Phurunargian) ....with equal if not more coverage of its structure in the movies/games/books than Barad-dûr, Orthanc, and most of the other stuctures of note, it shant be too guesswork.

Also, is it me or is the download broken....might just be me...

[Mordae]

The tower has about 32 levels of rooms for dwarves.
The room sizes vary in the different thicknesses of the tower.

Here is constructed Quern model
116 polys+uv

Maybe add a bucket or a bag for whatever comes out to fall in? Or maybe a bin that extends from the bottom? Although the wiki doesn't say anything about bags or buckets. I've never used querns myself, I've gotten artifact querns and querns as a demand before though.

It does look good though.

[Crossroads Inc.]

i don't think you need to add anything ,remember you want to keep the poly count as low as possible That said the next thing we hsould make is a modle for "bins" cause EVERYONE uses bins!

[smjjames]

Yea, and a bin would be easy to make, just make a largeish cube (the size of a garbage dumpster? It's not real clear what size bins are) and slap some sort of texture on it.

I kind of envision them as looking more or less like a cargo container, but smaller and square.

[Chubacca]

Here is Bin but it shape more defined by geometry then texture,because used standard VisFort texture of wood.But if will be drawn texture specially for bin that it will have only 3 polys in closet state

not it has 66 polys.
maybe later I'll draw nice texture for it to reduce geometry.

btw all model that I post not packed in the VisFort.

size of bin can be changed easily in objects_buildings.csv file.

[smjjames]

Closet state? What are you talking about?.

Anyways, looks good.

Ooops mistake - close*

I mean if it was open that we could see whats inside
But there is nothing so it's close.

[smjjames]

Yea, I don't think Visual Fortress has the capability to detect what is inside a bin, so no real point to having it open.

[Chubacca]

and here is Cage
121 polys+uv

You're pretty quick on this, heh.

[Chubacca]

This objects are simple,so it much faster to model them that some workshop =)
and no need to draw texture(or at least I'll draw it later)
