Well, it's kinda small in size, so it a outpost castle fort, maybe 10 soldiers... The garrison's md3 file after conversion with the game's smoothing routine on models makes it not very usefull in game. kinda ugly but sure is fun to be able to export and then get color,texture and some concept ideas ...

Good game there, Now, I know how to add custom art assets but to make a game, a big fat "0" in that department. Well off to learning and busting my brains...

Then took the displacement map and put it in the alpha channel of the normal map. I was impressed how well PlatinumArts Sandbox engine render the 512 x 512 image normal map...
