I would like to suggest that rather than using landscapes for the terrain, you create and use tilesets.

Pardon me…but am afraid i didnt get you.

Sorry, mate. I cannot help you with any high quality textures. I can do only do low-poly static meshes. I am a programmer and I only do modeling for props and placeholdersand only if I have no other choice. So what I can provide is some small meshes…like Carts, Wells, Resource, Small rocks…(with proper UV maps). High quality textures are way beyond me, mainly because of the cost of necessary tools. For modeling I use blender, which is free and is pretty good.

Thanks . Placeholder meshes will do. Do you know of any good texture websites (not CGTextures) from where we can get some textures for non-commercial use? I use Google and Flickr with modified usage rights.

Another thing: The images in you previous post, it looks like the shading is pretty flat. So don’t think we need highly detailed normal maps. I usually create two models (low poly and high poly) and bake normals from one to the other. Thats how I get around without using any graphics tools. So if we dont need very detailed normals, this method could work.

Yeah and i dont think we need normal maps at all since as you mentioned the shading is flat.

PS: I am very slow when it comes to modeling. I am not very skilful. So you’ll have to bear with me. Lets see if I can create some small stuff by next week.

No hurries mate. Take your own time.

"The reason why there is no news is because there are still no assets to work with. All the contributors so far are Blueprinters. We need modelers, animators, artists etc. "

Yep, but that makes me think, wouldn’t it a be a good idea to ask for some models on a more CG-oriented forums as well as ? Like: CGSociety?
I can also do some drawings of building based on the pics you posted to make them a bit unique to our game, I love drawing lol…

Do you have an account on CGSociety? If so, would you mind making a thread there for some 3d models with link to this thread?
