Embx61 Work in progress

[kid1293]

Sending a thought and hope you find comfort in knowing
you have many who care about you.

...and a big hug!

[embx61]

Thanks a lot all. I truly appreciate the nice words.

[Nilla]

My thoughts are with you as well!

[embx61]

Thank you @Nilla

I worked the whole night, I could not sleep, on some more natural looking channels.
I just made one piece 2x straight and if that is good to go I will make the other pieces.

Channels are a bit wider 160cm instead of 100cm to keep the sides (Not walkable) a bit smaller as putting too many scrubs in will add too much to the polycount.

Poly count is now 348 with 676 verts so not bad at all.

Suggestions/ideas about the layout/different textures e.a. are most welcome.

The road is just the games standard road so not included

@embx61 thinking of you  and see you have been busy.  I like the more natural look too but think I prefer it with no row of shrubs since we have so many ghosted items we could add ourselves but very nice as is. 

[kid1293]

Absolutely nice! But...
Think about having channels both here and there and all those bushes.
It will be too much. Like an exhibition area.
You can make bushes separate (ghosted) and you will have a clean channel.
Now that you have a small (non walkable) side, why not make it a little bit sloped?
A more organic look?

As I said, it is very nice now but it can maybe be better.


edit - I see Abandoned thought the same and posted exactly at the same time.

[embx61]

Thank you @Abandoned

I added the scrubs because it looked so bare

I can always make two versions one with and one without scrubs so players can add them themselves.

It will depend though how the ghosted scrubs are made as if they are centered on a tile they will maybe hit the water.

The sides are 66cm wide each and a tile is 100cm.

@kid1293

Hard to see in the image but the sides are sloped

Yeah, maybe I can make my own ghosted plants or even better steal them from one of you guys and add them to the set so players have full control.

You made a set with several plants did you not Kid?

[Abandoned]

Those are some nice looking shrubs but a row looks too urban, some with and some without and maybe some rocks added.  And kid's deco plants and grasses will look nice, lots of choices  .

[kid1293]

Yes, I have my Deco Pack with plants. You're free to adapt any model you want.


I suggest you place your model at x = 0.3 y = 0.5 or a row of them at x = 0.3 y = 0.2 - 0.8


I was just into making hedges but I gave up. The polycount. It will maybe be some
garden wall with leaves texture.

[embx61]

Great, thanks a lot Kid.

I downloaded the deco pack from the library.

[kid1293]

I have another small bush ready if you want.
Slowly moving with flowers that wilt when autumn.

[elemental]

Looks good. A bare version with ghost plants is a good idea. Then we can use the plants in other places too.

Possibly a version without that supergreen grass texture, too. I like it but it won't suit all maps. If you offer an F variant that just lets the normal ground texture show through the set as a whole will be much more versatile.

[embx61]

@elemental

Yeah, A different texture is a good idea with a F variant.
I was thinking just a soil texture where the plants sit in.

I use to look a bit what Mr Google says but most of these irrigation canals look rather "dull"; functional. This one from Madeira was the nicest I saw.
