    >> Hi Damien. Thanks for your nice comment. I am glad you are able to learn a trick or two from my sketchup models. Feel free to ask questions. However, it might take a little bit of time for an answer since I am quite busy with work and family.

                Hi guys,

                Long time no post.

                I hope all is well.

                Here are some old Sketchup Conceptual models I did for the MMO Rift.

                                  Hello everyone,

                                  I went to my archived files and I digged out one of my first tasks working on the MMO Rift. It was back in early 2006, almost 7 years ago.

                                  The first image is the conceptual model that was approved by the Art Director, although I kind of like the second one which is a little bit more fantasy.

                                  Have a great day!

                                  The approved conceptual model from 2006 was later re-used and redesigned into a different fortress about two years later. I did post some images earlier in this thread. But this is the one I was referring to in case you have not seen it.

                                        I suspect my rate of work will drop off significantly when this game comes out...looks great
