  2. Hello all, I just thought I would share what I have been working on. I know there was another one on the workshop, but it is broken. I decided to re-create it from scratch. Spheroid water towers are really quite common in the US, so I felt this was a must-have. Below are some screen previews.

    That's a great profile pic of a tower. I'm going to tweak the head as suggested and use the design prints that I found online from one of the companies that build these to use it as a projection to get the proportions right. Should be pretty easy with this. I'm learning more about water towers than I ever wanted to.

    Exactly what I was thinking. As for height, it is at 150ft or 50m. Its a bit on the taller side of these types after looking at some of the companies that actually build them. Although there are some running around 190ft. I think that is a good middle ground when looking at it in game. Actually, I found some blueprints from one of the companies. I may use that as a projection template.

    I've re-scaled the body in half and seems to look much more in scale. (thanks Judazzz) Went into 1st person and the 100 meter is definitely a monster. Big duh on my part for not looking at it this way sooner. #newbie @Matthias, I had thought about doing just that, adding decals, but decided to make it a generic as possible. Sorry for all the WIP pics. I would rather have community input before releasing something to try and prevent having to do a bunch of fixes after the fact. Thanks everyone, it's much appreciated.

    Thanks Darf, I plan on getting it grimed up. Specular has been giving me an issue, creating artifacts making it look pixelated in the shadows. Not sure if that's because of the curves and the engine doesn't know what to do. Still trying to work that out. I'm probably doing something wrong. As tris goes, it is currently sitting at 5052. I haven't gone through cleaning up some of the unnecessary extra faces.

    Thanks for the input, I'm open to any criticism or ideas. I too have had a hard time finding photos to judge the size so the scale was more of a guess. After doing some more digging, I found some hard numbers, and you are correct. I think I'll scale the body to get it around the 50 meter height range. I would rather have something in a realistic scale range than something that ends up looking out of place because it looms over the landscape.

    Thank you sir. I was hoping for some feedback with this being my first asset, it's been quite a struggle to get this exact. (should have started with a simple house, less curves to deal with ) I looked at several reference photos to try and get the height correct and decided on 100 meters. In game that is about the same height at the wind turbines. I might have to look around online to see if I can find what the true measurements are on these things. Including some reference photos.
  9. FINALLY! Thank you so much. This is exactly the type of thing that's been missing. Are you planning a non-graffiti version? I just had to say, you do fantastic work on assets, creating things that should have been an option for the vanilla game. I think I'm subscribed to all of yours.
