Small Stuff

By far and away some of the easiest things to model and texture are cylindrical things like pipes and pillars. In fact, it's often so quick and easy it often feels like cheating to not attempt to go the extra mile, especially if you'll have lots of them in your environments for whatever reason.



These are pipes that will be placed throughout the Forest Mill. No rust or leak spots yet, since the exact locations of all these pipes haven't been thought-out yet, and if my last level is any indication, sticking in rust before that just makes the rust look like orange, splotchy paint.

It feels a little silly to be focusing on something so minor, since these pipes will likely be in places the player won't necessarily look, like ceilings. In fact, before I wrote this blog entry, I was content to say these pipes were as good as done, but now actually writing it up has made me think harder on it.

Anyways, yeah. Woo, pipes. Maybe I'll show off an awesome BOX or something tomorrow. You never know!
