[REQz] Piano for decoration

Oh carp...I almost forgot collision. DsoS, what do you mean by Havoked...clutter instead of static?

Yup I think he means a clutter version , Best to make both a clutter version and a static one.

[DsoS]

well I had the thought of having one that something can "drop" one on the player and cause damage (like the cartoons)

IS has a good point, make one where it can't move, and another that can be "pushed"

[donnato]

Heheh I somehow knew that`s what you were thinking DsoS. Might have to ask around about that though. Anyways here`s the final mesh I just sent to IS ....

[DsoS]

Well I'd like to have both... So both of my evil plans can come to life

[donnato]

Kinda getting hung up on the UV mapping DsoS...This could delay things quite a bit.

[Witty]

This is exciting

[donnato]

Ok I think I`m past the one major hurdle. Now to get a good mapping on the box...finding loose verts need merging...

[DsoS]

It's all good Don

Although I am to see the finished product lol

[donnato]

Me too DsoS but it`s rapidly turning into tomorrow when I have to go back to work.

[DsoS]

ah gotcha... work... I wish we didn't have to work lol

[donnato]

Wow this is turning out to be a difficult mapping job. I worked on it till about 8 last night and I`ll go back to it this evening after work. It`s getting done just alot of stuff to rearrange and try to line up. I was able to get the keyboard mapped with IS`s help.

[DsoS]

I bet its going to look very good.... I can not wait to see it.... I'm talking about it so much at work, I'm sure I'm driving my co-workers up the wall and to insanity about the piano

[donnato]

...I do the same thing...except the folks driven crazy are...here...

[DsoS]

lol

I guess its better than YOU and ME being driven insane

[donnato]

Ok...simple auto unwrap...what do you tink...This is just the keyboard and the box. The legs and pedals are next ftw...

[DsoS]

Very nice. I'm speechless

[donnato]

I wanted to do more detail but it just got too crazy...I can now map a differant wood tex if you`d like?.

[DsoS]

lets keep it like that for now until I can see it in game.. would that be okay, or would it cause too much work for later?

[donnato]

Naw...I think I have to work these vanilla woods a bit...meanwhile...another option...

[DsoS]

I like the first one better I think.

Give me a few minutes to see if I can find a nice wood grain I like.... I'll try to find something of 512x512, or 1024x1024

[donnato]

Cool Ds, I can do that. I generally take these vanilla texes and fade,or paint,or otherwise PS it somehow. Show me what ya want...1024 is better...2048 even more so..

[InsanitySorrow]

Hmmm I thought I was supposed to be texturing this? , Not complaining if you decided to do it though

[donnato]

I`m just checking the mapping IS. Trying not to send you a jumbled pile of parts like an overturned laundry cart. These are pretty much just tests and placeholders and such...unless of course DsoS finds something he really likes. I can do better...and you...much more so.

[donnato]

Ok...whew, that was fun... anyways...here`s the final render. I`ll have to reset the texture file paths and export later this evening.
