Castle Project Status
The castle project is well underway and the outer walls of the castle are complete. This includes the curtain walls, don jon, two bailies, armory, gateway, draw bridge. Templated textures for the walls, the roof and the floor of the castle were also generated. The castle floor contains several layers that creates the dynamic look.
The next phase of the project is to proceed with applying the templated textures to the royal quarters, the house, inn, barracks, stable and the keep. Other todo items are to create additional templated texture for the inside portions of the castle, particularly for the don jon and the bailies. Futhermore there are several items that are needed to create a smithy section
All the files can be found here
Here is a little clip was generated using the content that was uploaded to svn repository. Sorry some of the compression is a bit messed up, its getting late and I don’t want to figure out whats up withit. File is 3MB

Wow, now that is a castle. Looking forward to seeing that in our whatever-we-call-the-techdemo map. Nice job.

Looking really good!
About the caste_foundation.mesh: there’s already support for areas in mason (i.e. both in Sear and Ember). That’s the way the ground here is made http://amber.worldforge.org/ember/screenshots/tn/screenshot_20060215_201754.jpg.html, or the fields here http://amber.worldforge.org/ember/screenshots/tn/screenshot_20050927_222124.jpg.html .
Basically it allows you to define many different layers of the ground, and then blend between them, which I think is the same thing you want to do with the castle_foundation. Instead of using a specific mesh for that, I think it would be cooler if the caste just sat on a levelled piece of land, and areas were used for creating the paths and cobblestones etc.
