House plants

Post by Zip »

I don't seem to be able to find a house plant amongst all the things in SDK.

Are there some house plants somewhere? :?

If there aren't any house plants, are there any pots I could put a small bush/tree in? (I found some africa pots, but they are unsuitable for my map :cry: )

You can mke your own pots or planters and any bush or tree can be scaled down.

Hmm....I'm nearly there:

I made a 64x64x64 'box' using the caulk texture.
Then I turned it into a cone.
Then I moved the vertices until it looked like a plant pot.

Then I wanted to make it thicker so I used 'Thicken' and put in the number '2' as the amount. (the 'Seams' box was checked, was that ok?)

Now I have an inner lining and an outer lining for the pot...my questions are:

1. How do I fill in the gap between the two linings?
2. How do I add some mud to my pot?

Texture

Post by tltrude »

Well to add mud you just pick a texture that is muddy. To add dirt, just make a bush the size of the inside (out of caulk) and go to the brush menu. Give it about 12 sides (you'll have to type it in. Hopefully, no corners will stick all the way through. IF they do use the cutter on them. Then give the top of that brush a dirt texture.

You could also use a barrel cap with dirt texture.

OK i can probably do the mud bit, but what about my gap question?

I'll need to fill in the gap between the out and inner lining in order to texture the top of the pot (i.e. the rim of the pot)

I tried uploading a picture to a website, but it's not working at the moment, I'll do it later so you can see what i mean.
