Ok I'll do that Justin.
And, I just figured out how to not make the sky x-ray though alpha!

(More on this if your curious--just ask)

It looks the same both inside and out? (one side isn't invisible?)
I know that Trylon was working on a fix for the Double Sided issues in PyPRP, but that hasn't come into a release yet.

I made the inside the same as the outside (for now). And if you were to be able to see the glass it would have to be a copy on the inside too.

Keep in mind that the idea of the glass hut is that it's made of a bunch of smaller glass orbs, not one solid material.

Are they actually orbs, as in spheres? I agree they should be three-dimensional, but I pictured something vaguely round with irregular edges, flat, and thick, like a thick slice of a geode.

I hope that gives at least an idea of what I'm talking about...I see shapes a lot like these, only maybe with a rippled instead of smooth surface on the faces, all fused together at the edges (which wouldn't look quite the same as stained glass...maybe rougher, like they were soldered together). Also, I pictured internal color variations similar to this within each pane...they were created by lightning, right? That would probably create all sorts of color streaks and cat's-eye patterns.
Here's an interesting image...geodes suspended in a pane of glass.

Just smoosh those together and I think that's very like what we're talking about.

i noticed in this Pictue:

it it appeared that there were smaller orbs inside the bigger orbs, I see not that that was just the orbs on the opposite side of the hut, that could be seen through the other ones, but I like how that looks, try putting smaller orbs inside each big one, perhaps the same color scheme, or preferably, try to make all of the Orbs alot smaller. I like your recent one, that one looks the best so far, and, yes blueyvern I Originally Imagined them as Spheres, but the way they are being portrayed in Lon, and Jordd's models looks kewl. Perhaps you guys could add some... texture to the stones, perhaps make them look more Abstract... kind like this

anyway, that what I think

O, and If you can, u might wanna make the Hut a bit bigger, u know, to add a bit of Awe to the place. we need a Carpet design too. So, if any of u can make a Rug for the middle, that would be great. I dunno If we should hav an Alter or something... what do u guys think?

Can I use that texture?

What, make a texture from the geode pic? I don't see what would stop you...

No need now. I scanned my own geode.

And the Palace is really rocking.
