I've been watching and learning from the forums for a while now. Originally I was going to wait till I finished my first age, but Jojon's recent post To: The Silent Majority convinced me that being timid doesn't really help anyone. So, I want to officially join the guild.
I have previous experience in 3D, but I'm new to Blender. The transition for me has been a lot harder than I thought, but I'm staring to get the hang of it. As kind of an offering, I've included a pic from the age I'm working on. It's not big and I'm still getting all the detail I want into it, but it's getting closer.
At the moment I'm calling it Beacon as my D'ni is lousy. It's basically a temple structure located on a pinnacle of rock in a dark sea. The glowing orb acts as a beacon to the dark ocean, hence the name. Eventually, I want to add a tunnel leading down through the rock and out to one of the smaller rocks, but for the moment I'm focusing on getting this one area done. Then I'll probably put out a release.
You can do it whichever way you want. If you'd like us to test the stages, we certainly will be happy to! If you'd like us just to test it when you're done, that's fine too. Just speaking from personal experience, I actually prefer to do the testing in stages so that stuff can be corrected quickly and you don't have a mountain of fixes to do at the end. But that's just my preference, and maybe you prefer the other way. Whatever you choose, we'll be glad to work with you!
