The Model
Overview
The
team that created Cyberlife created an actual model of Albia, that they
later took photos of, that were digitally processed and added to the
game.
This gave them better and cheaper resolution than
could be achieved by using the purely computer generated graphics
processes of the time.
Geatville
...at least that's what I call it, and the name sake of this website.
It is a settlement comprised of a lighthouse, theatre and farmhouse built by the Shee.
The Display
This is one of three display cases in a digital museum that now hosts this beautiful handmade object.
