Interior

Finally have a chance to post an update! 

This one is regarding the smaller scale stuff.. So far I've been viewing the world from a large perspective and not really bothering too much with the finer details. The past week I decided to focus on one house and try to get a library of smaller objects started. It is a three-aisle longhouse of about 25x9 meters with walls of clay over a wooden lattice and thatched roof. I imagine it being an older house with many memories and it has probably been repaired for the last time.  

Once it has reached the end of its life, it will be gutted and burned ceremoniously to honor the years it offered warmth and shelter to its inhabitants.

And once again CryEngine proves its awesomeness with auto-culling that keeps the exterior frame rate unaffected by all the stuff inside the house.

So there it is, the first Iron Age interior which gives me a much better idea of overall direction. I'm stoked to get some finer details in the scene and it's no where near budget limits. So I'll keep filling the interiors with interesting items.

Since I'm aiming for historical accuracy in the environment I am very influenced by archaeological findings from the Iron Age up until around 500 CE and there's definitely still many fascinating items on my to-do list. I've also been fortunate to make valuable connections with Swedish archaeologists who have been very generous and helpful to guide me in the right direction. 

Stay tuned for more updates and let me know if you have any thoughts!
