Suggestions from modlers please? Arches, windows and doorways?
Hullo!
Well, I've made a few textures, and successfully EXPORTED a couple of game objects to look at in Maya... now I have to ask for a bit of guidance for modelling/alpha mapping etc for the Sims 2? I know a few of you here have successfully created new windows and doors etc... would any of you mind me asking for a general hint of where to find tutorials about these sorts of modifications please?
I looked through the tutorials and got a bit lost (and distracted, I'm far too interested in far too much darnit). My idea is basically to do art nouveau styled embellishments for windows and doors... but I don't want to nuke the polycount of the objects into the stratosphere either. No good making new goodies if it makes folks' systems seize up.
I'm not asking this way to be lazy, but because I might have more specific questions eventually about how TS2 handles these things, and I know more than a few of you might have some very valuable information about how it works for this particular engine.
ANY kind mentions and guidance would be deeply and genuinely appreciated.
Very Sincerely,
Elfmaid ^_^
Let's face it, I KNOW I've been at this too long when successfully importing a new skin texture or a new model puts me in a real life Platinum Mood!
