Steampunk World
$imon:
I guess I'll commit myself to making a garage for Raxx' character, and maybe a few houses around it at first.
I like that style of building kreator; I'll use a bit more brick and concrete in my design to match that style, I think it would be cool.. It will also look a lot more 'dirty' which is always good in Steamtopia.
So as far as building style I guess this could be a general guideline:
- materials: bricks, concrete, some wood, metal , roof tiles
- style: rigid, dirty.. lot's of steam-pipes on the outside > chimneys
(- 10 anim8or units = 1 foot)
I was thinking of maybe having water flow through the city in canal-form (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kiLQvHY3ups/TJy1s3OmDEI/AAAAAAAAAPA/_h3ZCP_bQxA/s1600/Hamburg+Canal.jpg this but on a smaller scale, like this http://jkaiserphotography.com/images/Venice_Canal_color.jpg)
I like the fog-idea, of course a thick fog is not much fun, but the rest of the city can be covered in fog a bit so we don't have to go much into detail - but thats of later concern if we only get the block or two done first :)
I loved the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen ! it was awesome! When everyone is watching movies anyway - I liked Howl's moving castle too , it also has a bit of a steampunk-theme going on!
kreator:
Likewise I`ll "commit" to the factories and other bits, I feel that I owe it to you Arik.
I take it as read that it should all be in anim8or.
$imon:
kreator, you can model in another program if you want to, I just think the final render(s) will have to be done in Anim8or so just keep in mind the file extension, polycount & types of textures I guess!
Ive made a first city plan on the possible block we could do - it will be a lot of work but if everyone can do some it would be great of course.
Dimensions will have to be added to have everyone make their buildings proportionate of course.
The blocks in the picture only show the ground the building will be on, not the outlines of the buildings themselves - maybe in some cases where the houses are close together the square will represent the whole building..
Ive blocked out a few parts , the top half is the more industrial part , with kreator's factory in the top left, i thought it would be cool to have a government-style building in the top right (office-like with decorations). In between something else industrial can be added, my girlfriend came up with a shipyard which is pretty cool - maybe a balloon yard or something can even be made.
In between the sections there is water flowing in small canals for the power supply, and for houses to drain their warmed up waste water into.
The bottom left section is a more residential area for regular houses to live in, shops, stores, workshops, hotels etc. The main characters' workshops are here, along with a shopping street and an airship docking station that goes across the street with an airbridge, where customers and residents can dock their balloon.
A pedestrian bridge takes us to an area that I couldn't think of too much to put yet.. A power station of course would be interesting, I also thought maybe a boat docking place and a park.
At the bottom are some richer houses where Ensoniq's car will be coming from ;)
The block is surrounded by roads, having bridges where the canal flows under it.
This is just a first block-out, suggestions are welcome and we can improve it to become the ultimate steampunk-block.
Preferably every house has a bit more information, if its a store-what type of store etc. And maybe adding buildings that I couldn't think of that would fit well in a steampunk environment.

Okay, I'm in. :P
This seems like it will be a lot of fun. :)
I'll catch up on it all and help out later. ;)
kreator:
Thanks $imon for the floor plan looks good to go!, there is a lot to develop here, from past experience in the projects department, it will need a bit of commitment to see it fully established.
No Locomotives though!!
