Help builders add variety to their world with simple building parts.

Models
Description
What I have in mind is a way if increasing the variety of buildings available by creating "blocks" that can put together in pieces into any shape that the builder desires.
For each type of building the following parts would be needed:
1 cube
On each face there should be a door hole, window, or a blank wall. On the fourth face maybe put an alternate window or door style. The top should be blank.
A builder can then place these cubes together, rotating and stacking them, to create buildings of any shape or size.
A few Roof models
These would probably need to come in a couple of different shapes that could fit together in different ways.
Possibly a few extras such porches, balconies and placeable chimneys.
If this could be done for each existing style of house (swamp, city, rural etc) it would be great. If someone would expand this idea to include oriental and/or adobe (desert) style buildings, you would have my eternal gratitude.
Ok I am very familiar with what you want to do you are talking about a building set instead of a one piece structure. I will go and model a terrace set for you to try this with and I will post a picture of what it should look like when it is completed
Im working on this system. Its not my priority right now, but I an working on it. Feel free to take a look at my design concepts under high clerists tower in the nwn2 screenshots

Finally someone that sees the way I do. I am currently fixing a few skin icons and graphics for ModCraft atm, but once I'm done with that (a week or 2) then I shall be moving onto drawing up concepts for such a system.
I have been planning this way back for nwn1 but got tied up in work (RL) so had to put this on hold. I am looking at the orginal 2nd ed. D&D and the way in which details were dropped for "speed gaming", I think that currently nwn2 takes this approach as well. So if you'd like to drop into ARC (see sig) then we can discuss ideas further and see how we can accomodate other ideas into a modular building system. _________________________ I see repented people
I just wanted to add that I have absolutely no experience with modeling. If anyone wants to take on this project and would like to discuss it, I can be contacted through my PW's forums at Link PM SilverDragon. Thanks!
That sounds like a great idea -- it would be ideal if these building blocks would be tintable as well. _________________________
