[Preview] Counterstrike at Quel'Thalas

Tufy! you need to uppdate your website now!!!
At least add that spellbreaker and the mounted archer (you have animated those? right? if not, they can still be on the site!)
oh and, were did you find the blueprints of rivendell?:ggani:

Heh i never reply but i have been checking on this thread once every few weeks, and i gotta say it looks great, BTW the troll warrior done by <?> would be a great militia troll?

The website is moving!!! Plus, my trial Dreamweaver has run out and I had to wait until I could afford the Macromedia Studio. Well, I have it now, so...

Blueprints of Rivendell? Well, I composed the structure based on what I could see in the movie and on concept art. Right now the original Elrond's House (together with the tower) is tier 2 of the Wood Elf Sanctuary. At tier 3 it gains the wall and another side house.

I didn't do much in these holidays (except for some animating, but I can't really show you that here). But I do have a Wood Elven Headquarters model done. Below you can see three stages of the Sanctuary: First the simple house gains the tower at tier 2 and then a wall and a second house at tier 3. The skin's not done yet (anyone up to it? I want it to look like Rivendell).

May i be the first to say: Goddamn! quite cool... but maybe instead of the whole tower being added there should be a smaller one before it or something of the sort, otherwise it seems a bit drastic

Well, I based the tower on this concept shot of Rivendell and on various movie shots (see the one below, with the tower in the back):

I would say that the tower and everything is really nice but I agree with Hawkshark that for the second tier the tower is too big. Perhaps you could take the third tier, take away the tower and so it should look more like a second tier...

(as you see, my english isnt very good...)

I would say, remove the tower and the wall from the third tier, and use it as a second tier...

No no! Everything is good! tufy, if you want, send me a texture i will correct it with your preferences.

I say keep tower, but maybe make the 3rd and 2nd tier a bit more war like, or rather ready to defend, or add something magical about it.

I would say keep tower and all, but make tier 3 and 2 a bit more war like or rather defensive, or add something magical about it.
Or maybe stick a tree in there?

I take it back... That version for your town hall is perfect... after reviewing the the Human and Orc TH's from the game its not a big issues... as long as there is a ring of floor bricks where the walls will be etc... etc...

And those pics are quite good but why dont you look at the buildings from 2 other games
SpellForce: Order of the Dawn
LOTR: War of the Ring

both have pretty competent looking Elf buildings

Hi, everyone.

I've been away for a while and will be in the next few days (lots to do). The Campaign is progressing nice, though. I've just started my work on the last elven mission before you'll take command over the Trolls. See a few shots bellow.

But first, let me reply to HawkShark: Actually, I am in a process of making both buildings from War of the Ring (House of Lore) and Spell Force (HQ, Hunter, Archery Hall,...). However, I'm working on another model right now (animating phase) that will be used by both CaQT and HoS and didn't really have time to focus on anything else.

Anyway, here's a few shots from that map I mentioned:

Another shot of the map in making, this time from an... Ice Troll perspective :)

And from an Undead perspective (units and details are still missing!!!)

looking good!!
you mentioned mentioning a map, when did you mention it in the first place?
