Dragon Quest Builders 2 - Island Maps and Zoom Locations

I know they technically aren't called Zoom Locations but that is what I am calling them. Added maps for Isle of Awakening, Furrowfield, Khrumbul-Dun, Moonbrooke, Malhalla. Furrowfield, Khrumbul-Dun (all 3 levels) and Moonbrooke have zoom location maps with labels as well.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 Demo - Playthru on Switch

Here is a video capture I took of playing thru the Builders 2 Demo last night if anyone wants to see it. No commentary (no one wants to hear me talk ).

Dragon Quest XI 3D Model Viewer

Thanks to ethanej for finding the 3D models (and the web viewer) for the Dragon Quest XI models. I have a page here that lists all the files and you can choose one and hit view. Be warned though, these are the file names so I don't have them matched up to "pretty" names so if you haven't played the game be careful as you could stumble across a monster you haven't fought. If anyone wants to make up a "pretty" list let me know and I can get a dump of the files. Controls: Scroll wheel - Zoom in and out Left click and Drag - rotate the view Right click and Drag - pan the view Here is a link to the selection page https://www.woodus.com/den/games/dq11/3dmodels/ And here is what one of the models looks like. NOTE: some models are very large in the viewer so if you don't see anything after a bit zoom out.
