Gideon Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Experimented a bit with LDD tonight, ended up being a Kaliphlin house. Note to self, avoid digital vegetation pieces (their collision volumes are not as flexible as ABS plastic) to maintain a healthy blood pressure. Kaliphlin House by Gideon_83, on Flickr
SkaForHire Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Really nice Gideon. I double took on that image, because it looks so much like your builds and we rarely see LDD using such detail. Beautiful little house.
Gideon Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I puposely built something that my collection would support, or at least only with types of pieces I have (didn't check the quantities). That's the reason for the old brown palm trunk ;) I will probably experiment a bit more with these programs in the future, this was mostly a test to see what rendering time I should expect on my computer if I didn't use transparent pieces. This model in this resolution took like 90 minutes, my only serious attempt before was a simple stream with only four 8x8 trans-medium blue and some round plates like my river in ch6, in full screen resoulution...I clearly got a bit too opimistic then, that one took almost two weeks to render on a moderately overclocked i7 3770K. Transparent poeces splitting rays is heavy...but looks good :) But anyway, honestly it's more inspiring to use real bricks. Edited May 7, 2013 by Gideon
Mike S Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Nice LDD Gideon! Ok guys I'm gone possibly until the beginning of June. Cya!
soccerkid6 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Nice LDD Gideon! Ok guys I'm gone possibly until the beginning of June. Cya! Have fun, and thanks for the heads up, scares me when people disappear for a while without notice
Maxim I Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 A big teaser of the upcomming MOC can be found in the Pirate Forum: West Mpya Stedor!!! (with a pirate make-over in the teaser, but it will be without the cannons and with medieval minifigs for GoH) (click on the picture to go to the teaser topic)
Kai NRG Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Looks good DM! Quite impressive! And I've got another free-build up... let's not let Mitgardia take our spot! Ziza's Embroidery Shop
ZCerberus Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Okay Kalphlings, let me know if I missed one... I have entered for CH VI Gideon Damaximus SkaForHire Erynlasgalen Kai NRG Masa of Kalphlin Robuko Kayne
SSchmidt Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Hey guys, Been scouring these forums and still unable to find anything. How exactly do free builds work in the grand scheme of things? For example, my character, has a free build relating to his back story. Do I just post the story and pictures here? Thanks for helping me smoothly transition into GoH ;)
Kayne Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Well, I'm assuming that you are going to join Kaliphlin(which is the proper choice, by the way), and in that case definitely post his introduction and picture here to let us get to know you/him. But for a freebuild, the guild can earn some bonus points, and in that case you will want to post a new thread in the forums for that build to count as a freebuild. Also, welcome to GoH!

If I remember correctly, SS (mind the abbreviation?) already joined Kaliphlin (quite the proper choice as you say), though I'm not sure if you actually posted a picture of your sig? Anyways, until the end of June, free-builds will earn your guild points (not too many it seems, but every little build helps) besides (hopefully) being fun for you!

And we should say that this is not the end, but a beginning. Although the current scoring will end in June, I think there is too much support not to have an official scoring mechanism and a new set of challenges come fall. We will probably have to figure out if summer free builds are going to count for anything.... Or maybe we could just have a MOC - off during the summer and at the end of the summer see which guild has the most points.
Maxim I Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Message from the I.A.M.S. to my Kaliphlin Brothers: Guilds of Historica - Schmidt of Barqa by SSchmidt--, on Flickr Here we have Schmidt, a smuggler living in the city of Barqa, in the western part of Kaliphlin. Schmidt's skills aren't limited to any one craft, but he excels at smuggling and the dealing of goods and information. He works for some very important nobles in the city of Barqa. On the left we see Schmidt's Man-at-arms, Lofgar. If it needs to be killed, Lofgar is the one to kill it. On the right we see Schmidt's personal thief, Logar. If it needs to be stolen, Logar is the one to steal it. Of course, any half-wit would know that Lofgar and Logar are brothers. Lofgar does the killing, Logar does the stealing, and Schmidt does the coin counting from a safe distance. Anyone with the common sense of a gnat would realize how unfair it is that Schmidt should benefit from the work of two. Unfortunately Lofgar and Logar have not the common sense of a gnat, but rather an amoeba. ***Hey guys, look forward to building with you! You're welcome Hey guys, Been scouring these forums and still unable to find anything. How exactly do free builds work in the grand scheme of things? For example, my character, has a free build relating to his back story. Do I just post the story and pictures here? Thanks for helping me smoothly transition into GoH ;) Free builds are posted in an own thread. Only builds who are not supposed to be scored are posted completely in a Guilds topic But most of us who make a freebuild, also post one picture in the topic of their Guild, as a teaser (don't forget a working link that directs people to your freebuild topic!)
Kai NRG Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Ah, yes, told you I remembered something! And we should say that this is not the end, but a beginning. Although the current scoring will end in June, I think there is too much support not to have an official scoring mechanism and a new set of challenges come fall. We will probably have to figure out if summer free builds are going to count for anything.... Or maybe we could just have a MOC - off during the summer and at the end of the summer see which guild has the most points. I think the idea of a MOC off during the summer is a good one - we'll need something to keep us going until whenever we have "Book II" set up!
Kayne Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Yup, now that I reread the intro I totally remember reading that for the first time!
SSchmidt Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Thanks ALL of you for your thoroughness and promptness as well! I've been working on something small, i'll post it soon!
Maxim I Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I was looking for a specific post and I came across this: In celebration of the finally finished Mpya Stedor Palace (photo's one of the next days), Lord Damaximus organised a small military parade (also pictures to be expected one of the next days). The military count: 96 soldiers, knights, ninja's, crossbowmen, pikemen, ... serving the honour of Kaliphlin and the city of Mpya Stedor! In these dark times (were Avalonia and Nocturnus are not longer hiding their plans to attack eachother), Lord Damaximus hopes that this parade makes his enemies change their minds and don't start a war with Kaliphlin... But to play it really safe, he sent a letter to his brother (Mattiximus, high lord and king of the Guild of Ximus far far away) to ask for some reinforcements as Ximus has signed a peacethreaty with all it's neighbours. He especially hopes his brother will send some of the Ximus Elite-squads. those good old times note: only those who saw the Battle of Mpya Stedor (a year later, when Revolword had the power in Historica) will probably get this
Maxim I Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Winter just left Mpya Stedor! Next stop: Barqa where they will wait untill they got orders from Lord Damaximus or their king Donkon II ! Here is a part of the fleet: (click on the picture to go to flickr, where you can see another view!) You're welcome for the thrilling teaser! and I almost forgot, I have another teaser (with its own topic) aswell for another event in the future! The famous beard of Lord Damaximus will be gone!! more about this and the result can be seen here: All you have to do is clicking on this nice picture to go the topic and give your opinion!
Kai NRG Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Great to see another free-build - keep it up Kaliphlin! Here's another one from me:
Axis600 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Hey, all. It's been a long time since I was on here. I apologize for my absence. School and personal life has been beating the hell out of me. School ends next Wednesday, though, so hopefully I can start contributing again.
soccerkid6 Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Does anyone know when the voting for Challenge VI will start?
Legonardo Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Does anyone know when the voting for Challenge VI will start? I think this one's purely judged not only to find the best of each guild but the overall winner too.
