Warmo-Kapolis, SketchUp Enabled Steampunk City
Posted by on June 17th,2007
Recently I’ve been brushing up my Google SketchUp skills, and every so often I’ll see if there are any more models appearing under the search word Steampunk. What a surprise when I found the work of Mr Zapan! He’s been most prolific and churning out more than half a dozen very Steampunk looking structures such as the Pnumatorium above for the fictional city of Warmo-Kapolis (French language, English autotranslation here). Very good of him to upload them to the Warehouse for others to use, too. Warmo-Kapolis is a city created by Captain Citrus Alplack for use in a French-language live action roleplay game, but they intend to integrate this with the models (designed by the captain and created by Mr Zapan) and Google Earth to create something significantly more 3d than I’m used to. For more information, you’d be advised to look to the site of the LARP game itself. It’s certainly Steampunk-Fantasy, and I do like the various buildings that spring up to deal with their fantastical power source, vaporite.
