Good evening.

Been working on my modelling and decided to actually make something. Professionals nowadays seem to favor pipes in their bdsm setups (kink.com anyone?), so I started on a kit for that purpose. Stuff fits together quite nicely (just have to tweak model origins a bit more) so 'building' something takes only a few minutes. Dont have textures yet (the ones in pictures are just colors trough diffuse bsdf in cycles with some ao) and polycounts are sort of worrying me. Of the pictures below, lowest is 7.5k and highest almost 12k. I might be stuck to hl1 with my counts though, so someone who knows should advice here. Also, should I try to get as much as possible into same UV / texture sheet, or just split every part into its own?

I think I saw a request for something like the last picture in the other thread... For the size of these things, I'm just pulling lengths out my ass, so are they human compatible is anyones quess.. Anyways, what you guys think?

The images look nice. I think building your own devices that way could be fun.

Poly counts of 7-12k should pose not a problem. Of course the lower the better but they can always be reduced.

We use 1 unit is 1 meter.

That is very cool indeed, they just need to be brought up to the quality level of XSP.

I'm using Blender & Gimp. Started on textures and found out I still suck with them. Still, got some (unrelated) work in:

Mesh i am quite happy with (tricount is around 4.7k). Textures are still work in progress. A lot. In reference the band is chrome but I kinda think it needs the color.. Perhaps pink instead of that baby blue?

We also support normal maps for baking high tessellated forms onto lower poly forms.

Like this:

So its always useful to also keep a low poly version of your model, to be used for that later on.

Damn you beat me to it . :D I was going to make a wand. Very nice looking.

Thanks. But it is not that nice, so make a better wand. Healthy competition only drives quality up which has its obvious benefits considering the whole =) Also, my knowledge about normal maps seems to be from hl2 era, got to upgrade and get proper use out of them. Could most likely get better look with half the tris..

Ok, todays schedule: bang head against wall with normal map bake.

On plus side, its now 2650 tris. On minus, the one with normal map looks worse.. And thats before you take into account the fuckups i had with the uv layout.
