Elven Village Volume 1 Complete Edition Released

SEVEN BEAUTIFUL FANTASY MODELS WITH EIGHTH BONUS MODEL: ELVEN SPELL SHOP

July 4, 2005. Beaverton, OR. Meshbox Design, a leading provider of film quality creative assets and interface design, announce the release of the complete Elven Village Volume 1, a part of the Thematics line of fantasy model collections for art, animation, game development and design of tabletop role-playing games.

Elven Village Volume 1 consists of seven models plus an additional bonus model, Elven Village Spell Shop. Like all bonus models, they are only available if purchased direct and in the Complete Edition.:

• Elven Village Watermill (E1V101-3DS) The mysterious folk live in harmony with nature, yet mill the finest grains. Men, halflings and dwarves have long pondered how the anti-mechanized elves produce their wonderous breads. Behold the power of the waterfall! The nature loving elves have harnessed the power of a mountain waterfall in a mill that maintains the elvish sense of curve and leaf.
• Elven Village Inn (E1V102-3DS) Elven folk rejoice! An inn is now taking reservations -- The Elven Village Inn. This attractive inn features a beautiful veranda, curved bay window and a dragon skin roof! Here is a friendly home where many a elder age traveler would want to enjoy fine wine, good song and the wise words of noble bards. A great starting point for any adventure!
• Elven Village Church (E1V103-3DS) Although a private people, the elves acknowledge, cherish and adore their own naturalistic pantheon. More than a simple hall, this elegant, domed place of ancient might is open to both land and air for a true comingling of soul and song.
• Elven Village Blacksmith (E1V104-3DS) A silver hammer rings musically on an ancient anvil in the Elven Village: presenting the Elven Village Blacksmith! Sheathed in a dragonskin roof and elven roof accents, this beautiful building is both servicable yet very distinctly elvish. The Elven Village Blacksmith is the last stop out of town to sharpen your blade for adventure.
• Elven Village Woodshaper (E1V105-3DS) Before men, dwarves and halflings brought blade and axe against the forest, the elven woodshaper used earthlore to cultivate, shape and move the hearts of trees into a form most pleasing to the eye. The Elven Village Woodshaper maintains a shop and greenhouse within the village, a place of spiritual cultivation.
• Elven Village Guardhouse (E1V106-3DS) A keep suited to the mystic and ancient elves! Elven Village Guardhouse is a multi-floored keep, built and then rebuilt using magical stones of the first, primal keep and modernized stonework and accents. This octagon shaped structure features four main towers for defense, plus four auxilary platforms from where elven wizards can rain magical doom on their foes below.
• Elven Village Market (E1V107-3DS) The heart of any village is its market, as true with elves as with men, halflings and dwarves. Built on the foundations of a more ancient building, the elven market features two private floors, open to the sky, where the fair folk can buy and sell fine elven and imported fruit and vegetables.
• Elven Village SpellShop (E1V108-3DS) The bonus model! A sign recognized, a stairway leading to ancient and arcane knowledge? The place where elves go shopping for tome, staff and spell.

Elven Village Volume 1 Complete ($40 for the art license) is available directly from the Meshbox Design online store and includes both .3DS geometry and 1024x1024 texture maps, as well as a .pp2 version for compatibility with e-frontier Poser 5 and Poser 6.
