A Roman Watchtower
-
Thanks for sharing
Should've put the watchmen all along the watchtower and two riders approaching
-
Really nice Gai, and an interesting read to boot.

Rich, the file is high poly enough from this half dozen guys!
They're only there to give scale and atmosphere not for a battle scene!
I may even make some LO documents for the guys - I have never used LO (for a real project) anyway!

They're lyrics to a Jimi Hendrix/Bob Dylan song....[flash=640,480:20xga8lt]http://www.youtube.com/v/OmwFRvKYZNs[/flash:20xga8lt]

That central pad was to support the "elevictoriax", a hand-cranked elevator used to lift food and other supplies rather than having to climb the exposed exterior stairs with unwieldy loads during bad weather or barbarian attacks.

I saw Fletch had added some trees in PP...
I also added some trees in post pro...
-
Csaba - Common sense (if there is such a thing) might suggest the upper windows likely did not have that type of shutter protruding into the limited circulation space of balcony.
Would the exterior stair have been equipped with a pivot so it could be drawn up?
-
Great looking rendering, Gaieus. Would a watch tower be taller than that, though? One wouldn't be able to see beyond the trees from there.
-
Nice idea Gai, I like it!
-
Roger, I also thought of that but the guys (8who want to build it) resisted...
Ross: About the upper windows; you must be right. I created a scene in 3DVIA and when I succeeded to climb up, I could not walk around. I will suggest this to the guys, too.
Daniel: no-one really knows. As they used to be on hill-tops looking over the river (where possible), maybe not.
And yes, Fletch seems to have slept too much last night!

Very cool.
