rayneonx Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Hello; I have been wanting to do some architectural subterranean greeky doric. I have an old computer. I am frankly busted and have this old abacus FSDS 2.4 installed. I thought posting some would be interesting for a browse. Maybe a follow the work in progress. Starting to look like a monument of some sort?? (maybe a bit freudian???). This is just the start and a way to introduce myself for a new member.

rayneonx Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Yes.....I am using a scenery generator software from 2003 for Microsoft Flight simulator series. I was asked to do some airport/city scenes for a friend.......I bought Abacus FSDS 1.xxx ....got a upgrade to 2.x for a discount......in 2003 I tried to download some newer rendering freeware software.......but I am on a 2003 budget and computer......and DSL .... crash here ....crash there....download timeout ....etc... FSDS works for basic ideas........maybe I should stick to concrete sidewalks and curb stops. Edited May 1, 2012 by rayneonx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayneonx Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Drainage is always a problem with subterranean design.......... Haven't solved subterranean1 yet...and had a heavy rain [ATTACH=CONFIG]47530[/ATTACH] Maybe just leave it as a municipal fountain or spa............. City Zoo ....seal lion tank.........

rayneonx Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Yes....it is really basic But .... (here comes a I remember the good ole days......when we use to have to brush our teeth with a rock....) For me in year 2002 and my Pentium II it seemed like a quick, inexpensive, and major leap..... compared to the old foamcore 1980's modeling technique Edited May 3, 2012 by rayneonx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayneonx Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 Yes...it may look like the discount computer game graphics from the late 1990's...... ...the one you get free with a purchase of gum at the check out counter.... But....it something to look at ....a maybe tweek a thought or two...... [ATTACH=CONFIG]47541[/ATTACH] Cliff Dwelling ...Subterranean....concrete design....

rayneonx Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Maybe a little too....Bunker..esque [ATTACH=CONFIG]47550[/ATTACH] First attempt a cliff community.......but safe from falling rocks Edited May 7, 2012 by rayneonx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderSK Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Well, at least there's some forum action ;- ). Where are you from Rayneonx ? And what is the current purpose of this project.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayneonx Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Not to be too specific.... I have been lately in the Wyoming, Colorado, Montana area traveling and living. While driving I have had ideas of building on the plains and up against these ramparts and cliffs. [ATTACH=CONFIG]47559[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]47558[/ATTACH] Granted, this is all US Bureau of Land Management Land....protected and preserved from ideas like mine..... Project would be to build in this environment, but below the ground. Wild Fire is a big problem here.......... Fallen rocks and rocks slides another, and Tornados. Materials ...like concrete or Aerated Autoclaved Concrete I thought would work best. There aren't alot of trees......and it is a high plains arid site. [ATTACH=CONFIG]47562[/ATTACH] I guess I am becoming part Praire Dog....or Fred Flintstone....Yabba Dabba Doo [ATTACH=CONFIG]47560[/ATTACH] Oh....I think it still part Freudian........I assure you it is seriously subconscious.....not intentional....... But if you look closely....my cliffs look like a .....??? and the main entrance is a ????....accidental I swear. Finally, Disclaimer....this is not a dooms day ....survivalist project....unless you personally want to make your own.......please no " Men in Black" knocking on my door.

rayneonx Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Another take........more detail community..... Doric order to match entrance...........and this thread Maybe more fragile to rock slide..........

rayneonx Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Needed a center piece.......... When all else fails..........add a fountain.......public space monolith ....wrong period........I know (Freudians.......sometimes a cigar is just a cigar) Edited May 10, 2012 by rayneonx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic H Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 its a refreshing change from the gormless / featureless / boring / stolen ideas we see posted here every day. push the lo fi old renderer look more I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayneonx Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Not Doric.....or Greek Revival.......but Subterranean.....concrete .....Pacific Coast Really vague......but its just a concept start....and something to look at......
