The Plug Tower Hut ... What texture??
« on: April 13, 2008, 03:42:32 pm »
I have modelled the plug tower hut ( in my game) but im unsure what texture to use ...

Ive attched three images that show a clay hut, a metal hut and a stone/wooden plank hut

My original idea was to have a clay hut, as this looked more primative, though seemed to be too much like the huts from Riven ... :(

Not too sure really
What are your thoughts??

i have to say, the bottom looks most realistic, if that's what you're going for, the others seem a little...the textures don't really match the shape

i dunno... the third one looks good, but then it's got an unfair advantage, because it's rendered in the full scene and everything.  i kinda like the second one as well.  not sure what you mean about textures not matching shape, 3d joe, it looks fine to me...
