As a matter of fact, he is strolling in the stoa area, in front. The 
place to be for refreshments and wenches of all kinds.

Render took five minutes; difficult to tell about the scene files, but 
in this version I estimate roughly about 112Mb or a bit more for the 
architecture (visible or partially so in the render). The height_field 
itself is trivial.

But some whisper behind the hand, that this sultan has some strange
similarity with Thomas de Groot. And is there not a cream-white silken
turban in your wardrobe?   :-)

Of course, it might be wrong what the people of that sultanate whisper.
But who knows the truth...

I am looking for a height field editor for my Lego scenes. I need 
something where I can select a vertex and raise/lower it in steps of 24 
units. I don't think this tool exists. :(

As far as I know, the only way to do this would be to convert the 
height_field into a mesh and edit that.

If I were you, I would watch my back. There are assassins on the way... ;-)

Here the connection with the Greek part of the city is visible.

For those interested: render time 3 minutes.

That scene looks quite fine! Hmmm, the sky is alright, but if the scene
is supposed to be located at a Mediterranean environment, where the sun
is more intensive, then the landscape lacks a bit of contrast and color
intensity. It looks more like during a cool winter or early spring day
in Northern Europe. When looking at Caribbean or Mediterranean photos,
you can see the difference in the illumination (color intensity and
increased contrast).

I will very curiously follow your thread, because your scene is very
promising! :-)

Was the thing with your cream-white turban in your wardrobe a secret I
accidentally told? He he he!

Some secrets better remain hidden.

Hm yes, that is indeed true. There are all sort of things that still do 
not add up nicely in the whole project (which is quite getting out of 
control somehow) and which need to be addressed sooner or later.

By the way, the scene is situated somewhere on the Libyan coastline but 
not in a desertic environment..

If you browse p.b.i. from about 2013 backwards, you will find a variety 
of scene versions from this project. Search for 'Gancaloon', also on the 
TC-RTC site.
