First Steps

[darkstone]

First of all sorry if this is in the wrong place(its not really a WIPZ as I have no idea where this project is going )so move it if necessary.As a few of you know I`ve been playing around with the CS for the first time for the last few days and I`ve finally managed to put something together.I know this second nature to most of you but to be honest I`ve feeling pretty good about what I`ve achieved, mostly just by reading and experimenting.Heres a few pics of what I`ve done so far,bear in mind this is just the bare shell with no clutter or lighting to speak of...thats the next bout of frustration.

This might sound like I`m being self congratulatory but I am honestly chuffed to bits that I`ve managed to do something,nevermind the fact you guys could do this in a 100th of the time it took me. I would never of attempted anything like this if I had`nt joined TESA,you lot have given me the confidence that I can do this and have opened another avenue for more enjoyment of Oblivion.

Good work! Congrats! Chuff away!!

It's great you've started in on the CS - and I'm happy that I'm part of what's made you do it.

Now - will this banana dance?

Cool Darkstone!

Congrats!

You are using snap to grid, right? Makes dungeons so much easier

Way to go, Stoney! I wanna sneak through this place and find treasure already.

Congrats Stones! You should feel proud!

Thanks for the comments and encouragement,its much appreciated.I`ve been trying my hand at cluttering and lighting today and have come to the conclusion that a whole Ayleid Ruin was perhaps a bit ambitious for a first attempt at the CS.I made a couple of big halls(I was amazed how quickly these things can can get very large very quickly) and I cant seem to get the feeling I was looking for in these vast open places.I`m going to put this on the back burner for a while and try something a lot smaller probably a simple cave.Hopefully with some more experience I`ll be going back to it.

The Ayleid tileset is pretty massive indeed. I'm glad that you're going to continue to experiment, and I advise you to keep your existing Ayleid work so you can come back to it when you're feeling more attuned to it. Go, Stoney, go! *pom poms flail wildly*

Yep, best way to learn the CS is just to play with it. It can become addicting though...... Great work there Stoney. Keep it up!
