About City Depths: Abandoned Catacombs
This ancient family tomb has since fallen into neglect, with a poorly maintained crypt located in an abandoned part of the old city graveyard. Through the crypt gate, it is possible to descend a great flight of stairs to the family catacombs - but that is not all that one finds there! After reaching a landing and through a beautiful entrance, is an old chapel where services would be held. Beyond the chapel are the catacombs themselves. A corridor to the south leads to more corridors and niches - ready for expansion. Through the north a collapsed tunnel! Some thieves have apparently broken through into the catacombs through a section of underground waterway tunnel - tunnel that leads to the Underground Reservoir.
Connects with the surface as well as Underground Reservoir by way of a special section of Underground Reservoir Tunnel - broken through to the catacombs by thieves!

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.
