Blender Artists Forum Thread
IMPORTANT: the video shows only a portion of the town, which extends further beyond the shown area! The areas you see are part of the high street, blacksmiths' row and butchers row. The church is a local parish church, the cathedral church will be further down on the high street! Also, the walls do not form a square but a circle, and the town is not planned 'on a grid'. Dung and waste are being made, will be added to the streets soon, together with carts, animals and more people!!!
Knightsbury is a fictional English town of the late XIV century. It is based on the study of a series of English cities of the period as for example Canterbury and Salisbury, from which many buildings have been used as references.
It will be possible to visit a part of the town in first person: High Street, with its inns, taverns, rich houses and church; Blacksmiths' Row, with the banging of hammers on anvils; Butchers' Row, also knows as 'The Shambles', and its shops with hanging meat and beefs; Tanners' Street, where animals' skins are left out of tanneries to dry; Cloth Street, divided between cloth dyers, up north, and cloth sellers, located near High Street; and finally, a multitude of labyrinthine side-alleys so narrow that two men cannot walk there by each other. But since a town cannot be complete without people, it will be possible to stop by and look at people's clothes and manners, and hear what they say: from jokes, greetings, news to sermons preached by friars at the crossroads and cries of shopkeepers.
The very question which made us embark onto this project is: what was it like to live in the past? What was it like to live in a medieval town? One thing is actually taking a stroll on the streets and look at the architecture, the other is combining this with an actual total immersion into the past. Therefore, panels with information will pop up to learn more about life in a city, as for example laws, codes, building techniques and so on, although a great deal of stuff will be learnt by simply observing what's going on all around.
Another aspect which will hopefully stimulate more research is the interaction with social and private space: by observing, and completely re-thinking, the movement of 'modern' visitors in the medieval town, it might be possible to shed further light on an aspect of history and archaeology which has been at the centre of debate for many years.
Obviously, a 100% accurate understanding of the past is far from possible; however, a thorough study of all the sources which the middle ages have left behind - from documents and poems to frescoes, illuminated manuscripts, manufactures and archaeological remains - can give us the elements which, if put together, can enlighten our understanding of those who shaped part of our life-style today.
The great majority of things you will see or hear in the demo are historically accurate, from building techniques to clothes and objects exposed on the stalls; however, a few mistakes will be undoubtedly present; this said, one of the amazing aspects of technology is that it permits us to make corrections without the minimum effort, so, when (hopefully) people more expert than me will point out mistakes, those will be corrected as soon as possible.
A few things about the making of: all models have been made in blender, whereas the textures were created in PS, re-working and putting together other textures taken from personal photos, CGtextures sites, and some awesome timber textures given to me by Doug Turner , who has always believed in the project, has been incredibly helpful and whom I'll never thank enough for his endless support.
Cyrill, the true magician of the project, finally put together all the models in Unity3d, creating an awesome world which literally opens its gates and unravels its inner wonders.

4. SOUNDBITE (English): Neil Skelton, formerly of the Churches Trust and Caretaker of the Church:
Well, I think not only the church but the place, it's the Ghost Village of Salisbury Plain and it always has a fascination for people. And I think probably because of the restricted access, people always make a point of coming when there is access. And the same people come time and time again.
5. Wide of people walking away from camera towards the church
6. SOUNDBITE (English): Neil Skelton, formerly of the Churches Trust and Caretaker of the Church:
At that time the Ministry of Defence, or the War Department as it was then, owned most of the freeholds of the properties and they gave the villagers a month's notice just before Christmas 1943 to evacuate. And said there was a promise that they would return after the war or when the war department no longer had need of the land. And of course, as we know, they never gave it back.
7. Various of bullet casing on the ground
8. Set up of Ken Mitchell standing beside his family grave, talking to a lady
9. SOUNDBITE (English): Ken Mitchell, Former Resident of the Village:
My grandfather was the village blacksmith and he was in his sixties. He'd worked in that trade all his life and then suddenly, from out of the blue, he had to leave everything behind, and to him it was the end. It was the end of his life.

Please welcome the newest member of our EAT. family - 71 High Holborn! The doors are officially open in our #brandnewEAT.
Per le vie Inglesi: Bath, Salisbury e Stonehenge
Tre luoghi cosi diverse, ma affascinanti allo stesso modo...
Bath è una piccola cittadina situata nella campagna del sud-ovest dell'Inghilterra. E' particolarmente famosa per le sue sorgenti calde naturali, le terme romane, per gli edifici georgiani e il ponte Pulteney che è uno dei quattro ponti esistenti al mondo ad avere negozi in tutto il suo pieno arco su entrambi i lati. A parte tutte queste bellissime attrazioni, è una cittadina molto accogliente grazie alle sue piccole vie e comodissima da girare a piedi.
Salisbury è un altra città situata più a sud rispetto a Bath. E' famosa principalmente per la sua gigantesca, gotica e incredibile cattedrale, dove all'interno si può ammirare la Magna Carta, la meglio conservata delle quattro copie esistenti. Ci sono però altre cose da visitare, come Poulty Cross (un vecchia struttura anticamente usata per il mercato) e High Street Gate (un vecchio arco che tuttora funge da cancello per arrivare alla cattedrale).
Vicinissimo a Salisbury si trova Stonehenge. Questa tappa non credo abbia bisogno di spiegazioni. L'emozione è tanta nel vedere quelle pietre disposte a cerchio che narrano storie e miti di un tempo passato. Per dirla tutta, credevamo fossero più grandi, ma in ogni caso osservarle da vicino è stata magnifico.
Qui finisce, per ora, il nostro giro per le città inglesi.
Buona Visione

Salisbury
Salisbury (/ˈsɔːlzbri/ SAWLZ-bree, /ˈsɒlzbri/ SOLZ-bree - a cognate of Salzburg, or locally /ˈsɔːzbri/) is a cathedral city in Wiltshire, England, and the only city within the county. It is the second largest settlement in the county by population, between Chippenham at 35,800 and Swindon at 209,156. It has also been called New Sarum /ˌnjuː ˈsɛərəm/ to distinguish it from the original site of settlement to the north of the city at Old Sarum, but this alternative name is not in common use.

Places to see in ( Frome - UK )
Frome is a town and civil parish in eastern Somerset, England. Located at the eastern end of the Mendip Hills, the town of Frome
is built on uneven high ground, and centres on the River Frome.
Frome is approximately 13 miles (21 km) south of Bath, 43 miles (69 km) east of the county town, Taunton and 107 miles (172 km) west of London.
In April 2010 a large hoard of third-century Roman coins was unearthed in a field near the town. From AD 950 to 1650, Frome was larger than Bath and originally grew due to the wool and cloth industry. It later diversified into metal-working and printing, although these have declined. Frome was enlarged during the 20th century but still retains a very large number of listed buildings, and most of the centre falls within a conservation area.
Frome has road and rail transport links and acts as an economic centre for the surrounding area. It also provides a centre for cultural and sporting activities, including the annual Frome Festival and Frome Museum. A number of notable individuals were born in, or have lived in, the town. In 2014, Frome was called the sixth coolest town in Britain by The Times newspaper. Frome has recently been shortlisted as one of three towns in the country for the 2016 Urbanism Awards in the 'Great Town Award' category.
The area surrounding the town of Frome is Cornbrash, Oxford Clay and Greensand. Frome is unevenly built on high ground above the River Frome, which is crossed by the 16th century town bridge in the town centre. The main areas of the town are (approximately clockwise from the north-west): Innox Hill, Welshmill, Packsaddle, Fromefield, Stonebridge, Clink, Berkley Down, Easthill, Wallbridge, The Mount, Keyford and Lower Keyford, Marston Gate, The Butts, Critchill, Trinity, and Gould's Ground.
The older parts of Frome – for example, around Sheppard's Barton and Catherine Hill – are picturesque, containing an outstanding collection of small late-17th- and 18th-century houses. The Trinity area, which was built in the latter half of the 17th century and first half of the 18th century, is a fine (and rare) example of early industrial housing. Cheap Street contains buildings dating to the 16th and 17th centuries and has a stream running down the middle fed by the spring at St John's Church. Cheap Street has never been used for vehicular traffic and its layout is based on land plots dating to approximately 1500.
Frome is served by the Bristol to Weymouth railway line which passes the eastern edge of the town. Frome station was opened in 1850 and is one of the oldest railway stations still in operation in Britain, now with direct services to London Paddington. Frome is also served by a number of bus routes.
( Frome - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Frome . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Frome - UK

Nottingham- Barker Gate
From J Holland Walker, (1927), An itinerary of Nottingham: Barker Gate, Count Street and Woolpack Lane:
Barker Gate is part of one of the oldest roads of Nottingham, being a section of the pre-historic track joining east to west that coasted along the high lands north of the Trent. It was via Barker Gate that in 1645 was established the first regular Royal Mail service between Nottingham and London. The mails left the Great North Road at Newark, and after getting over the Trent at Stoke Ferry arrived at Nottingham via Carlton Hill.
So far back as 1325 Barker Gate is referred to as Vicus Tannatorum, the street of the Tanners, and indeed Barker is merely another name for Tanner. We have seen, when considering the later history of the Nottingham Tanners, that although they appear to have early settled in Barker Gate near the Beck they moved to Narrow Marsh to get in touch with the Leen.
