i've spent the past few days working on this nice mansion because i've been wanting something nice and big and elegent looking to live in on zoric . i was looking around on e-bay and saw some pics of 5+ million dolar mansions so i decided to model one for the game. and here is the end result:
Front:
Back:
other stone texture:
the mansion is 3 stories tall, features a connected 3 car garage, a seperate 4 car garage, a pool, several terreces, stained glass windows and sliding glass doors, and a french door style entry.
due to the size of the mansion, ground slopage is a minor problem, but to cope with this, the mansion also has a 2 story 'foundation' that will prevent the model from 'floating' when placed ontop of hills. the driveway area also features this foundation and the driveway slopes down to provide a ramp if the building is build on a hill. it is actually best if placed ontop of a hill or on flat land. building it in a valley or on slopes will cause some of the model to be under the landscape. also due to its size, it shoulden't be placed ontop of hills that are more then a 30 degree angle, as then the foundation probably wont fill the gap and it'll appear to be floating somewhat.
i'll be making more textures for it so thier will be several different stone styles, brick styles, and other things. i'll also probably edit it a bit to offer a versions without the driveway, without the seperate 4 car garage, and without the pool area.
the model and textures will be on http://www.tuwr.net soon
