Building an ancient Greek city

chris-2599934

I'm going to be working on a project set in a Hellenic city under Roman occupation. I think I can do pretty well for clothes, with the Hellenic dress and Sickleyield's dforce togas etc. but I'm struggling to come up with the buildings I'm going to need. I don't think I'll need an aerial photo of the whole city, but scenes set in a throne room, in the Agora (marketplace), and outside the city walls - with the impression of the rest of the city in the background.

So I'm looking for suggestions of suitable classical architecture products that I could use. Cheap or free preferred, of course!

Great idea.. Old Athens and Old Rome buildings

Collosseum I saw

These sets are meant as roman but could work for ancient Greece too:

There's an ancient Greek house here: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/classical-greek-house-3d-model-1309989

And a set of low-poly buildings: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-classic-greek-buildings-house/600475

 

Regarding Roman items, there are a few ideas in this thread: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/418191/streets-of-ancient-rome-interiors/p1

there was something at this link yesterday, a really cheap set: https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/kaMM/the-roman-empire

But link doesnt work anymore.  Maybe seller was selling something they shouldnt be.  Vendor was selling this: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/B1yVVl

Kitbash3D products sometimes go on sale at 50% off. I think they may have an annual sale in December (or January?) in which everything in the store is at 50%. If you're looking for something specific, it might be worth subscribing to their mailing list just to make sure you don't miss it.

Even at 50%, their stuff is still quite expensive, but if you can use it, you get quite a lot for your money in each kit.

I've found it not very easy to use in DAZ Studio. For one thing, they ship their kits as one giant file, so you need to load the whole thing and then pick out the items you want. I think you'd also need to do a certain amount of texture-tweaking to get the best results. Still, the modeling seems pretty good, the kits contain a lot of content, and some of them seem pretty imaginative and unusual.

Would this work? https://www.daz3d.com/medina-cityscape-generator

Summoner65 had a fine 'Roman Greek Construction Set' at ShareCG; it is now (still free) on his own site: Roman Greek Construction Set 1-7 ( Bundle )

There is another one, Roman Construction Kit - 01 Corinthian , but I don't know if its contents are also in the bundle. Very well done, and very useful for details!
