About City Depths: Smuggler's Hall
Riding through the bi-ways of the ancient sewer system of the Old City, one can by accident or desire find Smuggler's Hall, a great cavern with a floating village of tents and huts. A great wooden walkway was built over the ruins, allowing access to the outer stone spaces and access to any part of the town. A single reservoir pipe drops water into an old well, bringing the only drinking in. The Vue version main chamber has pre-lit big lamps (approximately 32). Three individual huts, plus an example column with hut colony allows for unlmited expansion.

The Story of City Depths Volume 1
City Depths Volume 1 takes you to a new level: below ground! Below the Old City lies another world, shrouded in mist and mystery.The City Depths series introduces a new paradigm in 3D models, designed to work together using a pre-defined connection system we call MeshConnect ™. MeshConnect models contain uniform connections between sections, allowing you much greater flexibility in creating custom configurations using pieces found in each set. In addition, connection pieces can be found between each set, allowing each model to infinitely expand upon the next.
The Depths Series
Meshbox Design's Village series of models are extremely popular with artists and animators. The Depths series (of which City Depths Volume 1 is the first) all have the following elements in common:
Internal Use. The series focuses on "internal" scenes though they will often also include a portal or external building where the "depth" orginates
MeshConnect ™. MeshConnect models contain uniform connections between sections, allowing you much greater flexibility in creating custom configurations using pieces found in each set. In addition, connection pieces can be found between each set, allowing each model to infinitely expand upon the next.
High Resolution Texture and Bump Maps. The series uses texture and bump maps that are higher than usual. This allows artists to pose characters in nearer proximity to surfaces and proces exceptional results.
Props. The Depths series include a higher number of props, allowing greater reuse.
RPG Friendly. The Depths series was developed to give storyboarders, wargamers and table-top RPG gamers the assets they need to make fresh, 3D illustrations for their games.
