Description
Smacky's hometown won't actually be named after her, but she's an important part of it, and I want your ideas and suggestions to be part of her world as well. I've already received a lot of good advice on putting together a semi-realistic medieval city from DAZ members and from Faveral himself (who makes most of the good 3D medieval sets out there), and have built the rough city that you see here.

Couple things to note so far:

- Building placement is not written in stone. There will be an additional smaller inn, a blacksmith, and additions to the church, and maybe more homes if I find that I have too much open space.

- There are no people or any small details yet (like barrels, carts, plants, wells, fountains, etc). I want to have all the buildings placed before putting any decorations so I don't have to rearrange them a million times. Not to worry though, I have a ton of assorted props that will be placed all over the city to make it more realistic and detailed.

- The ground plane is a custom creation by Lyrra that is subdivided into 9 parts each, and there are 9 planes in this example. This will allow me to create ground textures with paths, roads, and detailed terrain without using tiling or a single giant plane that would lose texture detail at this size. Again, I'll begin texturing them once I know where all of the buildings will go.

- The kingdom will be near a river that leads to the sea, so I plan on having a dock community nearby. My original plan was to have Smacky live in this smaller seaside area, but that may change as we finalize the city.

Many of the important places that Smacky will visit and have adventures in (including fighting the occasional monster or demoness) will be here, including a tavern, Molo's shop (where she gets weapons, SHOES!, etc), the training area (where the weapons master who raised her works), a marketplace (where all the little tents are), a mage's workshop, and so on.

This is all still a rough layout, so if you have any suggestions at all for what you'd like added, where stuff should go, or anything at all, please feel free to comment or send me a message. Visitor suggestions helped shape much of this city already and I hope the ideas of my friends and watchers here on dA can help personalize it even more.

If city planning isn't your thing, I'll be building the tavern interior soon and would like any of your ideas for three of it's regulars: the owner, the obligatory drunk, and a devoted Smacky fan always eager to hear of her latest adventures. The new tavern will also surely pique the interest of a certain elite demoness as well...

Thanks for viewing!
