The thumbs.db doesn not bother other OS-es, but it does bother version control

Yes, I have seen this problem with the shadows. Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills.

First, let me agree with SirVer inasmuch as Astuur's new stone images "rock" (including the pun). Regarding shadows, I would prefer the shadow angles for all immovables to approximate those of the buildings (i.e. shorter from a higher sun as used in our standard Blender rendering stage). The trees are slated to be revisited in order to establish 3D models of them (like the effort for the Barbarian buildings.) At that time, the tree shadows will be adjusted to match the angles of the rest. I realize there will be some visual discrepancy with the trees in the interim, but I would prefer to change the stones only once (for their implementation). I welcome your comments, especially if I have evidently missed something and I beg your pardon for the delay in my response. Thanks. I see little people.

Hmm... Chuck.... the only thing that is good in those stones is the texture. Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills.

I have put quarry stones on my personal ToDo list. It may be a good exercise to dust off my Blender skills (such as they are). I see little people.

Astuur's quarry stones have been pushed to the development trunk in rev #5931 Good job!! (Now I can take it off my ToDo list.) I see little people.

I just observed that we haven't scaled down the boulders (sstones) to ~80%. I'll tackle that chore. Looks like it's going back on my ToDo list. I see little people.

It also occurs to me that the greenland sstones are used for a stone ring in the first barbarian campaign. Has anyone checked how the new ones look there? Edited: 2011-08-10, 20:27

They look good to me! (I still need to resize 'em, at least the tall one lower left.)

The standing stones (boulders) for all worlds have been reduced to 80% original size and pushed to the development trunk in rev #5935. I see little people.

Do you have gimp/psd files to go with the winterland stones? I remember what trouble I had with the shadow. Stage rendered shadow for these stones is tiny...Like for buildings. There has always been a small sun height discrepancy between raster terrain objects and buildings...
