Pedestal Pack - Useful for terrainers

[Daelin]

I have seen a lot of terrainers around here and so, I thought I tell you about my pedestal model pack as well, since it may be useful in enchancing your map. Already many of you might say "no thanks, I don't use custom models" but I find that it has its own advantages.

First of all, it uses no custom skins. Already a lot of size is reduced. But wait, we're not done. Each model is around 1.5 KB in size. You realize how small that is?! And besides, you don't need to use all the pedestals. There are up to 15 different types, from Ashenvale to Sunken Ruins, so not all terrain types are included (may improve in the future if the pack is a success ) but atleast a pedestal may match your map style.

I'd like to thank Jacek for giving me this idea. He needed one of the pedestals for his map called Hexagon. So, without any further chit-chat, here is a screenshot and the attached pack. Enjoy and give feedback!

Updated pack so that includes 9 more pedestals (no screeny though , you have to download pack to see them). Come on people... I want to see your comments and suggestions!!!!!!!

Aight.

Comments --

Brilliant, I think these will make some awesome stairs and stuff. Not sure what a pedestal would be useful for just as a pedestal

Suggestions --

Reduce the size of that screenshot. It doesn't need to be that big to show off the awesomeness of these pedestals.

UV Wrapping on the Demon Pedestal could be improved. The vertices wrap too much together and form the weird over-stretchedness of the middle.

Rocky Outland Pedestal? Might be asking for too much, but it would be cool if it even floats just a little above the ground and had a bit of a stalagmite on the end.

Yar, very useful, thanks. Too bad they don't have a bottom. =P

A more white one would be nice. Maybe with a skin from a white column or wall.
That demon one looks freaky. xD

Oh, and since you made them, can we use some for RotHE?

 

[Daelin]

Well... Adding a bottom didn't seem necessary to me but if you need it, I can. I may make a marble one too, and even an outland. I mean, why not?

And of course we can use them in RotHE. Small, efficient, good-looking, what else do you want?

 

[Rinpun]

It probably adds another .5 kb or so to add a bottom, but like I or 2-P would care. That'd only make it 2 kb

 

[Daelin]

Problem with making a bottom would be that I would have to mirror the whole model on the Z axis, which would practically double it. Why would I do that? Because the wrapping on the edges screams for that.

I'll see if I can do that addition while keeping filesize really low. In the meantime, I replaced the image with the second pack so that you can check the newer pedestals. Who would've thought that I would make so many?

Those are pretty nice. I may use them in my RPG, thanks.
