D Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I recently started playing around with unreal engine and decided to have a go at building Gringles Pawn shop. I thought I'd share what I've done so far and so I recorded a short video and posted to youtube, here's a link if anyone is interested. https://youtu.be/oDGlw4aHn0w 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Godspeed Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Wow, that's a lot of rooms! My first thought was how it must me hard to keep that lit with no inner courtyard or anything. Is there some connection to the second floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) i thought that once i built it, poor old Quackjohn must be forever refilling the lamps. the book describes the lighting as covered lanterns, I plan to redo the lighting when I find a better looking lantern. The stairs to the second floor in the middle, they are just visible in the last few seconds of the video.

D Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 I've just posted a walk through. the next step is to furnish it and once I figure out how to make working doors and lamps, they'll be added too. has anyone got any thoughts on what sort of cooking device Gringle will use?

Once I start furnishing it, I'll do static, cctv like, shots of those rooms. it probably won't be this weekend as I'm going to try to get it running on my vr headset.

I think the reason I had not noticed it was that it doesn't appear on the (most important) roof map.

Sir_Godspeed Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Chimneys are going to be "ahistorical" even if we consider the third age Gloranthans to be living in an era more akin to the Hellenistic times than Bronze Age. However, ultimately, Glorantha is not the RW so... I guess chimneys exist, are kinda newfangled, and only available to the wealthy. Sounds workable, imho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always loved Thunder Rebels use of bags of wind that the grandmothers would wield every morning to chase away smoke from the cooking fires, miasma, bad airs and odours and to bring in the their free friends. the fresh breezes! Truly a great way to wake up in a communal stead. Edited July 29, 2020 by Bill the barbarian 2 Quote ... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast!

And a wide hearth gives you a chance to put pots down near the fire, rather than just on the fire, and allows some prep area. Yeah the original Gringle's sketch was more a dungeon than a workable living and commercial space. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 i like the idea of a raised hearth, though not too high because of Quack John. maybe a bronze rod embedded width ways across the chimney as a hanging bar for pots so it's easy to change how hot the pot gets.

EricW Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) If you export the model as a GLB file you could set up a web page containing your model which you could interact with. I'm in the middle of building a 3D chess game, the models were built on Blender but the website uses three.js to display the model using webgl - the three.js libraries let you move the chess pieces around, or move your viewpoint around the board to see the board from different angles. https://chess.desirableapps.com The game is incomplete, it is not ready for launch yet, but if you create an account you can see how the three.js technology works, move a few pieces around, use the mouse or mobile device touch screen to rotate the board, zoom in, whatever you want.

One day, Eurmal was bored, so he wandered through Aldrya's Forests and came across a giant, bloated orange mass that was sucking the energy from the forest and growing bigger and bigger. Immediately spotting it an dangerous, he did was any self-respecting god would do and took out his trusty dagger, that he kept hidden from Humakt, and started to cut away at the great beast. He cut and cut until he was satisfied that it was no longer a danger, for now it had two eyes, a nose and a smiling mouth, so could not be a threat. as he walked away, the pumpkin called out to him not to go, for it wanted a friend. laughing, Eurmal went further away and the pumpkin called again, but more insistent this time. Drowned out by Eurmal's laughter, it called a third time, even more insistently, as Eurmal disappeared. However, other creatures heard its call and came to see it and be its friend. They weren't its friends, though, as they were not Eurmal. as they got closer, the beast realised that now it had a mouth it could sate its hunger a different way and gobbled them up. Since then, Hungry Jack has attracted those foolish enough to stray near to its lair. As it got bigger and bigger, Jack realised that it just had too much of itself within itself, so strained and strained until part of it burst, throwing small chunks out into the Forest. This took root and grew, becoming smaller versions of itself, called Jacklings. They also attracted people, as they were as lonely as their father. Eurmal wandered past and saw the Jacklings. Intrigued, he moved closer and recognised what they were. "Ah, aren't you cute?" he said to one of them, "Not like that bloated thing you call a father. I'd like to be your friend, but we can't stay here", so he took one of them and pulled it up, he pulled and pulled until its straggly roots came free with it. He put it under his arm and wandered off, but soon found that it was heavy and not great company. He put it down and scolded it, "Look, of you want to be my friend, you have to walk with me" and it got up on its roots and started to walk. Happier, he walked out of the Forest and happened upon one of the Dark Men who had recently appeared. The Dark Man rushed towards him and Eurmal cowered, until his friend roared and rushed the Dark Man, shocking it into stillness. "Wow, you were so scary, you looked like a bear", Eurmal said, "so that's what you are, a Jackling Bear", but that sounded odd, so he shortened it to Jack o'Bear. Eventually, he lost interested in his Jack o'Bear and they parted ways. 2 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

Maize came with Hon Eel in 1492 (check the date, niceeee), this is actually a plot point Bison are Asian and, like llamas, are genetically nearly identical to their Eurasian counterpart, the yak and the camel; I'm fine with that Cactuses are 100% not New World species I always thought the raccoon was a one-off What's this about tobacco in Safelster?
