To Paul-Jan:
Your package-plugin is perfect for distributing DeleD-scenes. And every DeleD-user can put things out of this to his prefabs. Excellent.

To AWM Mars:
Why do you worry about textures? Because copyrights? I made nearly all textures from pictures downloaded from cgtextures.com and some photos shot by myself. Even my faces are constructed from several real persons, merged an mirrored, so nobody can say, i use his face.

So i think about making some of my better models, which i think they could be interesting for others, downloadable on my site. (with comments in english, of course)

I've never tried it myself but I think you can upload art to TurboSquid and give them away for free there, if you are looking for a place to host.

I've been playing with extrude and inset. They are both very quick and clean. Models created using this, will be very lean and have low overheads. The UV mapping can be a bit long winded, but its a trade off for speed of construction.
The drawback I find not really useful for our work, is the edge bleeds. All joints, although firmly welded and jointed by default, show edge colour bleed when the LOD drops at distance. The project then begins to resemble wireframe mode.
This may work well for light textures, but anything below midgrey, shows light grey lines at all the joints, which is a bad shame, as using this method to build, as Harper said, is very clean.

I have built a simple wooden chair, remenisent of the type found in Schools. It is a prefab but you can apply your own texture to it, it is fully UV mapped.

Use the right mouse button on the link, and choose 'Save Target As'.

Feel free to put this into future prefabs. Smile

Looks good! Smile

DeleD is in need of better prefabs. I think we could definitely include some of your prefabs in the next DeleD release.

I want to make a test:
Please visit my new page, to test my concept and tell me your comments:

I found the package-im/exporter useful, because un-UV-mapped models don't help really to save time, and here we are a closed user-group with the same tool running. So i pack all with my textures, nearly all build from pictures from "cgtextures.com". And he said, they are free to my sort of use.
So i packed some of my modelled tools on a site, exported them with the package-exporter and zipped them. First of all: You english speaking people, please tell me better titles for my tools i offer you to download. All titles are done by using "dict.cc". But please correct me, if there are bettere names for. Second: Do you really need correct data like poly-count etc, before trying? Third: Are such things useful?

So please try it out. The site is password-ensured, so only You, the Deled-community will see it. The user and password is "deleduser".
So please have a look to:

And don't forget to comment it.

Those are some great models. If I use them in any of my builds (I'm thinking the Castle project already) I will give you credit for them Smile

I did notice some of the links give a 404 'file not found' responce, is that just me?

If anyone wants to host some models for distribution, please contact me and I will host them for you.
