Re: First meshing attempt!

This might be personal taste, but I think the legs could do with fattening up. I don’t like when furniture looks like it’s on toothpicks if you zoom out in the game. However, I do like the textures you’ve chosen. They look so elegant and work well together too. I could see this blossoming into a lovely, regal dining set.

Well I know I’m no expert Angel but I like it,you might be happier with it if you re-colour with dark shades perhaps?? All in all for your first try I think it’s good!!!

Yes, the legs are a bit pants. I do like the idea of darker colours, too. Perhaps something Medieval?

Re: First meshing attempt!

I need to mess around with the textures a bit to get the right look, but I think this is better than my first attempt. Notice there are no shadows on this one either. I haven’t covered the shadow tutorial yet! 🙂

Re: First meshing attempt!

Thanks 🙂 The feedback from MTS suggests that the legs are too big. I’ll have another try and mess around with the texture a bit.

Re: First meshing attempt!

Well, I’ve had yet another attempt, but can’t seem to get the texture right on the table edging, it looks too stretched. I’m waiting for a response to this on MTS so hopefully I can fix it:

I like the shape of the legs in this last one. The table could use some rounded corners though when it moves toward the final touches, I think.

I’ve made my own table mesh now too and came to realize that adding the textures and fiddling around with SimPE to get it into the game seems like a more complicated task to me than just building the 3D model. My poor table may never see the light of a Sim day.

Here is my meshing attempt:

Re: First meshing attempt!

Is that your first mesh? It’s lovely!

The part that gets to me is the mapping, apparently that’s where I’m going wrong. Until I can get that right I’m not going to be able to offer anything for download. 🙁

Re: First meshing attempt!

Yes, that was my first mesh. Just copied the tutorial’s shape really.

I wasn’t happy using the UV Mapper as it had no obvious “Undo” feature and Ctrl+Z did nothing. I had made a few mis-clicks and had to start over again a couple of times.

Re: First meshing attempt!

It’s starting to come together now. I’m going to work on a better design, but I’ve re-mapped the mesh and it looks a lot better:

Re: First meshing attempt!

Thats looking good Ladya, I was going to say the legs on the other were a wee bit thick, but now they look just right!

Re: First meshing attempt!

I’d say try to get rid of those horizontal lines on the front and end of the table. Other than that, it looks very nice!

Re: First meshing attempt!

Lady Angel and Tofu, I’m amazed by both of you! Meshing is my dream but I don’t think I have what it takes. SimPE is a giant mystery to me even with tutorials. What program are you using for the actual meshing? Lady Angel, I love your thick legged table for a coffee table. Your third attempt is almost there if not there I think! Tofu, I love the shape of your table, it’s a bit monochromatic. You guys are so talented and smart!
