Lyon in 1700
-
Hi Fabrice de lyon
it is indeed better than the first renders... but not perfect yet, no.
Currently, lots of those windows would have rolling shutters... Wouldn't the houses have had regular shutters back in 1700?
You could put them just a little bit crooked here, straight there... put some curtains behind the windows will add some liveliness as well... carts and stuff in the street as well. Also the window frames seem a bit thick. Furthermore, you could add some cast-iron fenced balconies to add interest...
Oh, and some way of night time lighting? I think gas lanterns are post-1700, aren't they? But they must've had something...
Then there's the matter of atmosphere... I don't really get the feeling that those houses are in the sunny town of Lyons... more like Brussels... -
Thank you for your comments Pyroluna.
But what you are talking would be possible for a city a century later or at Versailles.
The shutters were inside houses, and virtually invisible given the poor quality of the windows.
There were no balconies, the windows could be opened only in small portions. With the manufacture of glass larger than the balconies will appear and that the shutters will be outside.
I could put things in the street, but it is not my priority as I model an entire city. I'll do it later.
Lighting at night had just set up in Lyon, it was soldiers who posed the evening lanterns on the curbs of some street ...
To put more life, I opened some shops, you'll see in my upcoming reviews.
For light, the city was deemed very dark and sad because the buildings were very high for the time, and very narrow streets.
Sorry, my english is horrible, so it's a google traduction...

of course I'm no historian

New image of this street, this time with shops and open windows to give a little more life ! The textures will be next.
Should I add people, they are blurred by imagining moving story to simplify things a bit on the question of clothes. But that requires me to find pictures of people still dressed the way late 17th ... Not easy.
If anyone has an idea? Recover persons in the images of a film ?
Sorry for my english...

An other street.
