The game I am working on has several laboratories in it, so I needed to create some more equipment to fill these laboratories. I figured the community could benefit from this as well, so I am making a free model pack with five pieces of laboratory equipment. These are all modeled after real lab equipment at my wife's college.

Here is a picture of the first item, a Binary Gradient System:



I am trying to finish my game before Christmas, so I am running short on time. I expect this pack to be finished within one week.

I look forward to your comments.

luke, looks nice.

But one suggestion. I have found that objects which are light in colour appear too bright in game.

For example, this same model you have made, if you try to use in a game where there is a lot of light (like a well lit room or outdoors) you will see the texture as a almost flat white color.

So try making the color a tad darker (shades of gray?) so it will appear better in well lit rooms.

Just a suggestion.

That is a good suggestion. I will play round with the brightness of the texture and test it out in a few different environments.

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's simple enough for the end user to adjust the brightness, contrast, color, noise, etc of the texture file to make the model fit their scene.

xplosys, that suggestion was for Luke since he said he would be using this model in his game.

filya,

Yeah, I guess I've seen too many people complaining about something they get for free and I was thinking you wanted it darker. My bad.

Best.

ambient occlusion is the default fall of shadows, under pretty much any lighting condition, hence the term ambient "occlusion" removing ambience from the model, where it need not be in such high quantity. (e.g. secluded corners)

if you have heard of "clay rendering" it is the same method.

what modeling software are you working with?

Jon, I am using Milkshape. Should I lower the ambient level then? I'm not even sure what the difference is between the ambient, diffuse, specular, and emissive levels.

@ luke

ambient >> color that would appear in the shadowed region
diffuse >> actual color of the material
specular >> color that appears when light falls on it
emissive >> color that the object gives off
