Experimentation day.

First, xNormal rocks. After trying for two days to get blender bake to behave I started to look for alternatives, and it's quite perfect for my needs. After that was sorted out, I could proceed to the baking of things. The high poly model i used to bake AO & Normals from:

Now, I was interested about the corners (not the big half-pipes but the beveled ones) and how much normal map can help them. Therefore:

90 deg corner:

2x45 deg corner:

3x30deg corner:

For the texture I used the baked AO. Since the source model is the same every single bake, I dont know why the 1st came out so different to the other two.. All options were identical. Anyways, the problem is this: is the more smooth corner worth the increased polycount? Sure, 100 or 300 does not make a difference alone, but since this is for the pipes -set, it will multiply..

Got something done for a change.

Kept it quite close to the reference, except for the switch: somehow the original I - Off - II looked kinda boring. Also, didnt do any of the logos / branding.

That is Neat! Does the switch move back and forth?

Since im working with blender and xmoon is going with maya, its just a base mesh (I dont know if even that ports over without issues) but it was modeled & textured so that it could move if rigged so.. Anyways, sent files to the admin, we'll see if that is convertable with reasonable effort.

Another revision: same hipoly, but going with 24 segments instead of 16 on low.. Tricount almost doubling as result of that. Also redone the texture. I'm still not quite happy with it, but it is still an improvement.

Thank you, for sending this nice model to us. It will be added to XStoryPlayer as soon as we released version 3.0
