DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Sculpture Forging
« on: May 10, 2012, 11:08:32 pm »
How do you guys picture your dorfs forging metal statues? What exactly are they doing in that little Forge? How do you go from chunks of ore to elves in the fetal position?
I personally picture Urist Mcsmith fitting together plates of the material, gold maybe, into the shape of whatever the sculpture depicts. Obviously with craftdorfy ways of making the seams and joins unobtrusive, possibly with more skill as the dorf gains experience.This seems a bit more practical to me than having to create molds for everything perhaps, but I'm sure there are alternate ways of doing the sculpting.
TL ; DR
Find your imaginings of how dwarves forge metal statues, and give them to me.
