It's not a seperate project, I just try some tools to create levels. Maplet was nice, but it also had some problems. Sometimes it refused to load levels that I just saved, probably not enough ram or something. Also, the fragmentation of everything wasn't desired (eg. the floor when you add a column).
I also had some UV problems with Gile[s] btw. They simply look messed up after importing the B3D file. Maybe I got to reinstall Gile[s], I was messing around with the plugin files a lot. Anyway, I need it cause the other lightmapers I currently have do not allow sunlight or intact smoothing groups.
I also tried several Architecture Apps to create buildings, but whatever I do, I end up with a huge amount of polys. Probably I should use them to save the prefabs (stairs, windows etc.)
Well for those who wonder how I made the textures - I just ripped them from the holy inquisition - there is something good with those churches, surprisingly. So surfing webpages that contain heavy medieval architecture and art pics can be very interesting. Of course, whenever possible I try to make my own pictures with my digital camera. But some buildings are just to far away.
