Object Request Please, Pretty Please. - by Ravenhook

What gamophyte is saying, Ravenhook, is if he makes the round bench as a single object then you will not be able to put a tree, column or anything in the middle made of a solid terrain brush. The bench won't render if its center is in solid. If you're planning to use an object there then it's fine, otherwise, he might want to make a semi-circular bench and you can use two. That might actually be more useful anyway...

I see, two halves would probably be better then..thanks for pointing that out, it would have thrown up some bad errors eh?.:D

Nothing serious, it just doesn't render. I sometimes sink my objects into another or a wall but as soon as the center (I have centers visually enabled in dromed) is inside, the object disappears until I move it back out. Two halves will mean that each will have the center offset enough not to be inside the central object/brush. But I can also make the center object apart of the whole thing too depending on what you want there.

That round one is cool, I can work on that. I also have finally got in position to submit objects to object repository. So you'll get your camera, sorry about the time, it got away with me.
Now on that round bench, what is going in the middle of it? Depending on what it is, we need to make sure my object's center isn't in solid brush ect.
What if you made the object a half circle. That way the center will always be in an area that isn't ever going to be occupied by solid space, and the half size can be used in more places besides around a tree.
Edit: I should have read the other posts first. :o

Ravenhook I still need a little bit more time to work on the pump. So far I have everything done except for the handle and the joints. I actually redid the handle because I didn't like the result. :p

Excellent job Gamophyte, to you have to give transparency 0.99 in order to be able to see other objects trough the metal ornament?

Absolutely stunning.:eek::eek: Thank you very much.:thumb::thumb:

Rather than hold you up forever Ravenhook I think I'll post a link to the water pump I've made so far. I've had problems trying to get the handle to move with the vertices rod so for now I'll post the non-jointed model this evening. :)

no, it's a transparent in-part PNG. So out of the box it works, but then to not hide its neighboring object (two object halves) I had to make the engine aware of it by tagging it alpha 1.00. is .99 better for some other reason?
