Yes. No way I am missing out on that, its been on my wishlist for a long
time...
It is going to be my main freetime project for this autumn. I have started to
experiment, images are on the way. :)
But I need to think more about design and some of the technical matters.

As far as the spec goes, I have a fair idea of what I want, which isnt a bad
start actually. ;)
This time I am really going to follow the scene composition/top down approach
and not allow myself to get sidetracked ans immersed in detail.

Ie I am going to select great architecture, I am going to model them in medium
detail and I am going to compose the scene before messing with detail and only
go to work on the stuff that are really necessary for the scene to "work".

And I am _not_ going to waste time on exotic features that is supposedly
necessary for "completeness" of the library.
I know from experience that those end up as hard to understand rarely used code
that wasted a lot of time...

Anyway, about the spec and library features, here are some more images from the
same book:

(Second post)
The idea is of course that the library should contain the elements/components of
the first two images,
so that the more complex buildings can then be implemented in reusable macros.

It would be really nice to have a shared project where we could work together
and get good design, nice textures and modelling plus light and composition all
together.

Best wishes, /A
