My reworking of the Cherafir chantry as teased at just after Christmas in this thread, is now available on Lythia.com right here.

Are you planning to include the drawing of the facade into the article? For me, more than anything, that drawing captures the spirit of grandeur of this building. :)

I was. But I decided that I'd wasted enough time dithering over what to add without getting anything done. I'm still not too happy with the odd number of pages so yes I will probably revise it at some point with an added page. Probably a perspective illustration looking along Imadain way.

This is a fantastic article and your new floor plans are great. I will be using these for the chantry from now on. It's funny though because I have always used the grey mage Eilyn Dulye as the guildmaster for this chantry and had always assumed this was canon, but on rereading the Melderyn article I realise this is not so, so thanks for the other resident masters and grey mages. Anyway thanks for all your efforts, great work!

Lovely plans!

I have envisaged the Golatha Chantry as being as an excentric converted country manor house... A Rothschild endeavour to your Cambridge or Oxford Wolsey like classical edifice!!!

God knows what the Shostim monstrosity looks like...Although I desire Orung utang librarians and Basilsks at he very minimum :)

The Guildmaster is based on somebody I ran across at university and is relatively well known in English architectural circles. Two of the masters are vaguely based on real people too. Rowen's a friend of mine and really is a specialist in dead languages and Maur is based on my old school headmistress.

Something out of the Adams family or Rocky Horror? :D

I am having trouble viewing this. Some problem with the two different versions of Adobe.

Is anyone else experiencing problems? If so, how did you solve the issue?

thank you in advance.

Familiar feeling. :)

I think the picture you presented on the forum would already be good. But I have nothing against perspective illustrations either. ;)

At the moment I'm having fun using it and the neighbouring buildings to familiarise myself with Sketchup. Normally I use AutoCAD, which is a lot more technical.

Excellent article, and thank you very much for your reconstruction of the building.

The general design Crosby laid out has always bothered me:
didn't seem to make proper use of the available volume
doesn't follow proper architectural style for the era (lots of tiny rooms with individual fireplaces, rather than a Great Hall) Chimneys are a recent development and this is not a new building.
far too small for the enormous mass of records it should have access to.

I do like the additional data on other sites and economics; that helps answer other concerns. The additional storage areas wrapped around the outside of the Taen-Kai-Thalar make perfect sense; the additional areas to the south are then reinforced areas that have not been needed yet. (Or have functions that the Chantry doesn't want the architects to know about.)
I particularly showing the very top of the Taen-Kai-Thalar dome be visible inside the building.


Your version addresses my concerns about the original design. This is theversion I'll be using in my game.

Rich,

Will your Sketch-Up drawing be available for down load?

I suppose I could put it up... Oh go on then. I can't guarantee that it'll be perfect. I haven't got my head around some things. Like conical surfaces for example, and I'm not planning on fleshing out the interiors in too much detail.

Rich,

That is OK.

We could all work on it by adding parts to it as needed.

Then we could share it with the world.

I have trouble letting things go before I'm happy that they're finished. Too much of a perfectionist for my own good sometimes. It's probably my profession. People don't like it if their roof leaks or windows don't fit. :D

Have you managed to fix the problem yet? FYI the pdf was created by AutoCAD's inbuilt pdf publishing utility. I've never had any problems viewing them using plain ol' adobe reader.

Coincidentally I've just sent our esteemed web-hoster and master of downloads a short article on the Golotha Chantry to support Deeper Dark. It portrays a (very small) country house which feels more like cold comfort farm than any oxbridge college. See what you think when he posts.

This is great - we've needed one of the most important buildings on the island fleshed out. Great article.

He's got the Sketchup model now as well. Should be up soon. :wink:

I think we need some Sketchup tutorials on the forum - it seems to have enormous potential.
Can't wait to see what it looks like.

I've only really started learning with this. Mind you I have been using AutoCAD for 20 odd years.

Here are some links to SketchUp.

The first one is to SketchUp Home Page.

The next one is to the Tutorial page.
