I like the style yes, and that it looks very solid. Just a bunker on
indeed. We can also have bunkers around the buildings, making the
invisible at distance, very nice for culling. This will also be good
for wind conditions etc. Like submerged into the ground.
kind of Hive for aliens to live in. And some kind of dwelling tunnels
underground. Moving organic underground tunnels.
Post by Amir TaakiExciting! Having just travelled to Iran, places where buildings are built for
sand and wind, I think some of their types of old buildings would look nice

(The towers are cool, because they circulate air- I have like millions of
photos if you want some inspiration prehaps). I'm not saying use this as is,
just that it might be useful.
Another idea I have, is like termite hills and ant nests, where collaborative
building, makes a roughed out organic structure. Just like we have machines,
the aliens could have specialised aliens that produce special material (like
webbing and saliva) used for building.
Like you could have cementing monster, and wall solidifying monster.
Anyway not too good designing architecture, but I'll try my best to make
something cool ;)
Post by Anders WisurYes a great idea ;)
As my hand drawing skills are gaining power aswell, I will try to make
a few concept art's the comming weeks and we can have a voting on what
buildings we want to continnue making. Everyone is hereby challenged
to comitt some concept art, small or big, poor or good quality, but an
idea is an idea!

Post by Jorrit TybergheinI think I like that. What I would like to see however is that the
structures are not too regular. i.e. rounded but not just spheres, and
so on but more irregular rounded shapes. I think that fits better in
the theme of an alien culture that is very different from us and has
other aesthetic values.

Post by Anders WisurHi,
I was thinking a bit the other day, about artificial architecture, and
i figured spikes is really not a good way to go. It takes up loads of
tri's and actually adds no visual benefit. I would rather go over to
make everything in round shapes. As that can be smoothed, and fake the
amount of tri's you actually need. Also LOD's will be easier to use
here.
"Even breathing/beating parts, and corridor that is moving a bit,
makes you feel very claustrophobic"
This is a great idea, and will make a better atmosphere. Also what can
be possibly more alien?
So I'm sending this to hear all your options on this matter. Adding a
building i want to add as a new style CC. Possibly replacing the GCC.
As the GCC is too tall to fit in a harsh environment with sand + wind.
