The Great Wall in Autumn - 206 B.C.

Sun, 30 Oct 2016 04:30:21 +0000

A section of the Great Wall of China, freshly built during the Han dynasty (206 B.C. - 220 A.D.). This picture offers a glimpse into the past, as much of the wall has fallen into disrepair and the pagodas are long gone.

Also, these are all in game models. Models were imported into 3dsmax, rendered, and placed onto either overhanging lots (wall sections) or into an MMP (pagodas).

Pagodas can be downloaded here and Great Wall sections downloaded here (this is just one example of his work, there's plenty more.)

Frisian Fishing Camp

Fri, 28 Oct 2016 00:39:10 +0000

It is early morning at a Frisian Fishing camp, circa 475 AD. This camp is just a short distance from a small village. Resources appear to be plentiful, this small outpost may become something more...

On a Foggy Morning

This is a camp of a native American tribe (most likely northeast North America, for instance Algonquian or Sioux) at an early fall morning, somewhere in the mountains, at the riverside, long before the arrival of the first European colonists, protected by fog and the campfire in the center.

An Fhianait

Tue, 25 Oct 2016 19:51:15 +0000

My submission for the ancient civilization challenge: an overview of the hamlet of An Fhianait. Located on the west coast of Ireland, it features a small church and a handful of cottages around the early medieval age (800-1100 AD). Despite the sea spray from the waves crashing on nearby cliffs, it's a sunny day. The cows and sheep are out and men are hard at work. Rye fields – a crop that grows readily in Ireland's cool climate – wait to be harvested. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, a collection of menhirs, or standing stones, seem to glow in the sun. The villagers have since converted to Catholicism but the megalith serves as a reminder of the pagan beliefs of the Gaelic people in centuries past.

Town of Phenomia (Cathedral Hill)

Tue, 11 Oct 2016 08:26:18 +0000

A town that I created nearly 5 years ago. Posted on SCCN.

The town was designed to fit the XIV ~ XVI century colony style at the time when I was working over it. Main Cathedral and some mansions, castles are created with LE, road, plazas and more houses are plotted with customized-by-myself modular Lots.

This picture shows the hill towards the ocean with a Cathedral and some mansions.

Lakota Island Eruption - 298 A.D. (Aftermath)

Mon, 03 Oct 2016 00:04:25 +0000

Following the cataclysmic event of 298 A.D., almost nothing remained of the Lakota island volcanoes or the island itself. A massive chunk of the center of the island had disappeared in the space of six days; Lakota had literally blasted itself apart. What was once ONE island had now split into six different islands with dozens of smaller islands in the vicinity.

Of the three volcanoes, almost nothing remained; the largest, Lakota, received the least damage, yet still losing most of it's height and it's entire eastern flank had sunk into the sea. It's neighbor, Scethy received more damage than Lakota with only the north-eastern flank remaining with the rest of the cone having been blasted apart. Niaru, the smallest, did not survive at all; the entire cone was completely destroyed along with a massive surrounding area going with it.

Today, a large caldera remains in the spot the volcano destroyed itself in. However, as civilizations settled into the area and gave birth to modern technology, geologists discovered something terrifying in 1983. Lakota was still active and capable of producing more volcanic eruptions similar to the 298 A.D. event. In 298, there was no one within the area of the volcano; today, there is the city of San Reina across the bay and it has a population of over 10 million people....

Hope you guys enjoyed the little story about Lakota. I've also attached an image showing the amount of the island that was destroyed.

Lakota Island Eruption - 298 A.D.

Sun, 02 Oct 2016 23:51:47 +0000

Atlantica region is a beautiful place where the bustling City of San Reina resides. Warm climate, beautiful beaches sit on a lush and fertile regional area. Various islands surround the region, include the biggest one of them all - Lakota Island. But Lakota was no ordinary island; reaching high into the sky, three distinct and prominent volcanic cones existed. On the far left was the biggest - Lakota; directly across it towards the right was the second biggest cone - Scethy. South of Scethy was the smallest of the three cones - Niaru. All three were fed by one singular reservoir of magma, making all three on Lakota island part of one massive volcano.

The island had a violent past, producing destructive volcanic events every few hundred to thousands of years. It wasn't until 298 A.D. however, that Lakota produced it's most violent event. During the summer months of that year, the volcano came to life with catastrophic force, blasting volcanic material high into the atmosphere from all three cones. The eruption lasted for more than six days, blanketing the entire region into complete darkness.

My City is off the view towards the southwest of the volcano. This is a series of images based on Lakota's event in 298 A.D. Look for the other images to see the aftermath.
