3d designer utility?
« on: April 15, 2010, 09:01:10 am »

Does anyone have a decent program for designing and showing forts in 3d? I've come up with an interesting idea, but my mental visualizations are not quite up to the tasks of designing it. Nor is something like a graphics program with layers helpful, I need to see this in 3d to make sure I've got it right. Also, I'd design it in Lego, but while I have craptons of it, it's all Lego Technic rather than Lego bricks, so not helpful.

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then you kill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

I don't know if there's a utility for designing for in 3d.
But there are two I remember that shows the fort in 3d.
1. Visual Fortress
2. Stonesense

One of the toads decided to go for a swim in the moat - presumably because he could path through the moat to my dwarves. He is not charging in, just loitering in the moat.

The toad is having a nice relaxing swim.
The goblin mounted on his back, however, is drowning.

For designing, you could try Lego Digital Designer.
