(Yes, that is a drawbridge there. I usually leave that shut.)

I've dug out parts of the brook, which is why it appears frozen in places and not in others.

The building to the top part of the picture is the tower. Just below that is the main gatehouse. Next to and right of that is the Trade Depot.

The other two long buildings are walls that block off the valley from invaders, helping my dwarves occupy the surrounding land. Bedrooms and Workshops are below ground, which is where the road near the top branching to the left is going.

Uh oh, Baboonanza hasn't posted in about 3 weeks... Come, my fellow dwarves, it is time to mount a rescue party!

Oh, and bump. I couldn't let this thread sit on page 3 now could I?

[QuakeIV]

Yeah this thread rocks!

So does this program show furniture and workshops yet?  I saw some pics from way earlier, but I wasn't sure if they were of proposed art or if they were in-program. 

[quinntan]

In the next version they should show up. Right now they don't.

[corhen]

yea, the next version is gonna be "the big one"

[zchris13]

I want to hear this from the creator.

▼Yeah, like that.  Come on, creator.  Out with it.

[quinntan]

Well, I was going to suprise you

Texture revamp with additonal material support. Ie. sandstone has a proper sandstone texture instead of a coloured generic texture.
Bump-mapping, specular lighting. Improved water. (Shader support required)
Blades of grass (the same way its done in games)
Variable time-of-day sky dome. Clouds will have to wait I think
All the building models that have been posted
New slice tool
New interior view
Smooth interiors (ie random noise is only applied outside)
Advanced screenshot capabalility
Many bug-fixes.

All of this is finished/partially complete and my gf is away next week so I should be able to get a lot done.

EDIT: Oh, and camera clipping, forgot about that.

Something like this than?

[corhen]

yea, and a new release, if you can arrange that...

Well, I really like this visualizer, and I like seeing shots of the great forts other people post here, so I thought it might be nice to post one or two of my own things.

Spiralwaters, from when I was playing around with controllable map entrances.

It was more or less a giant felsite spiral constructed on a 3x3 perfectly flat embark with a magma pipe a little ways under the center. I was going to make a giant, spiralling tower in the center, but I got kinda bored with the whole thing. I mean, really, my dwarves did more or less nothing but construction; they didn't even have basic masonry skills. Boy, was making each spiral thick enough to let the caravans through a pain, though. Still, was pretty cool to have a giant spiral of water surrounded by endless magma.

And yes, that thing in the magma is a tree. I tried to cut them all as they grew, but I missed him.

Dude, that's amazing

[QuakeIV]

That was freakin awesome.

[dyze]

yeah, psychedelic! 
a big ass tower in the middle would have been the icing on the cake!

[FaultyLogic]

This is just so awesome, brought a whole new level of fun to the game.

Thanks all. I could still theoretically go back and finish it... All my dwarves are Legendary +5 in every social skill despite having more or less no other skills at all since all they ever did between grabbing rock and building walls was stand around talking to each other. If I ever do add the tower (and the trade depot at the very top, hoorah!) I'll spam some more pics of it, but my current undertaking will likely take me a few months more still.
