Hi again one and all!

I just finished a small building content pack for TGE/A but can easly be converted over for T3d. The pack is a small guard house/shack that is no longer being used. Taken me about a month off and on to work on it, now I have it completed. Check out the screen shots below, this is my move from Ambient sound packs into small modeling projects such as this one...

I really enjoyed putting this one together. I hope the love shows in the pack :-)

I'm releasing it on my site, just $7.95 and includes:

3DWS file of the building
3DS Max 2009 build
Complete texture pack goes with it of 20 textures
X format
Map format
B3D format
Includes TGE *AND* TGEA versions of the kit (tgea 1.8.1 and tge 1.5.2)

I tested them in both engines so I know they work and can send images if you like of it in each engine. Currently, one of my best and most detailed model packs todate. I tried to get a lot of detail into the package. Material file for TGEA is in there, just drop the images in with the compiled DIF file and your set. There is a collection of normals i added as well to this TGEA side of the pack. I have tested this material file in TGEA 1.8.1 and nothing less but I'm assuming it will work just fine in older versions.

The package is about 19.7 megs in size and is broke up into two folders, a TGE and TGEA folder. Just drop in your engine and edit up what files you don't want there such as the source 3dws files, and run, drop in your level and off you go. That easy. This package don't even come with a user manual since we have an online forum now, you can get as much help as you need there at www.dlsstudio.com/forum (it's in Beta as of now being tested and bugs working out in the new PHPBB forum so bear with us).

If you have any questions, you can email me at will_zettler@dlsstudio.com or dlstorminc@yahoo.com. I will try to get back to you within 24 hours if not sooner. If you are interested in this product, you can order it from our site at www.dlsstudio.com on the main page and buy it via Pay Pal. I am also working on a few other larger projects for content packs that will be available in the coming weeks as well, plus, we can't forget Beyond The Abyss, edition 1 that has been halted due to my move but I'm expecting to relaunch it in the coming week again for moving forward on it.

If there is a content pack you would like to see that hasn't been yet done or something unique, please drop me a line or post it here or in my forums, I'm always looking for fresh ideas, and if I use your idea and make a pack based on it, I will give you a free copy of the finished pack. Next pack up will be the Docks and Piers Pack. I've been wanting to make one of these for a while, now is the right time I think... Thanks for reading...

I like! if i am alowed to give my 2cents...all your models are of great quality, but as you may have noticed with the graveyard pack, after adding great textures, it looked AMAZING!

Thanks Max! Yup, still working to try and improving the pack. All packs can be improved upon, just have to figure out what it needs, that's the hard part. Still learning to do modeling since coming off doing sounds and ambient packs so it is a challenge. Thanks for the comments! If there is something you can see to add or change, please let me know and I'll get on it.

Well as i mentioned in the previous post, some high quality textures would go great with them! And some added detail would make the packs great too :D

Ps. Once you have a bit of a colection of models, you could think about putting them together as a combo pack and mayby contact GG
