I really like this light for some reason... keep 'em coming sluggsy!

Thanx very much Yandros. :thumb: I'll keep making them! Anim8or is addictive, just like Dromed! :D

Hey sluggs,
Could you take a crack at making a lamp post as similar as possible to the one I made? I'm not sure about the whole concept of what makes more polies and what doesn't.
Also, how would you make a hanging lantern in anim8or like the ones in Thief, that is, without the whole thing lighting up? I'm thinking of making my own hanging lantern to go with my lamp post.
I would really need the lamp post to sell the "wind" effect in the FM I want to make. If you can't, I understand ;).

i haven't had time to tackle an objects, anim8or is tougher than expected, i'll likely wait until i get my mission ready for a beta test then take a break and build some objects.
i'm looking at mechanical things for a planned mission, so i've been collecting ideas. i want to build a nice looking full size train engine and some various cars, tankers, flatbeds, i want some new transformers and a lot of new plumbing, thats just to start.
i've been reading the tutorials and have trouble adapting from the thief portal system to a system of build a primative, extrude, pull, bend, hard to understand right now.
i'll get there eventually.

Crap MM, that's cool. But what's the poly count with the detail so high like that?
Thanks. It's 60 odd polys, But I can probably reduce it to 40 something.

I'll make you one, probably with the lamp attached too. Thing is, i have had a few model requests already, and i have to Beta a new FM that will be out soon. It's all work, work, work! :laff:
If you aren't in a rush for it, i can do it for you. I haven't done any jointed stuff as yet but i'm sure it isn't that difficult to suss out. :)

Only the wingtips are now doublesided, so shadowcasting is broken, and you shouldn't look at the model from above. Hardly worth the 20 odd polys saved.
Will try some clearer textures now.
