So here are two more.

Guzman, I like these.

You might enjoy the 3d app Groboto if you don't already know about it.

Thanks,

I installed and played a bit with Groboto.
It's interesting but the results are too random for my taste, I'm more interested in structures than artistic sculpture.

[guzman tierno]

Modifications, variations, new creations, renderings, ... are welcome.

Here's a model that somehow shows how to build the "Cagework_1":

Cagework, rendered in Artlantis, which is not really meant for this kind of thing, but...

Thanks, nice work,

ehaflett, thanks, it's fun to share ...

Hypershot makes a nice job of rendering these.
This is just a preview - so a few artifacts

This is getting really exciting and fun,
really nice Solo !!

I really like the light, seems the one in some of the renderings of your villages

did you improve my pencils ? they look much nicer than the ones I drew

yes, it's cropped, but in these cases I use "view image" from firefox menu
to see the whole image, so no big problem

[solo]

thanks, I used Vue and just changed the textures and softened the edges.

[guzman tierno]

you mean "soften/smooth edges" or some ruby ?
