Coo... it's been a bit quiet in here hasn't it?
Well… it’s been a while coming but here is my first venture into the world of modelling… above & beyond my blobs, design ideas & other ramblings.
There maybe some calling for this in a level somewhere but it’s primary purpose is to dish up a treat to our special wonderland friends. Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, Halloween (coming up for you guys in the states & elsewhere, UK? – not so big over here)
Attached to the model is a sample pic of what can be done. The humble beginnings of a Christmas cake from Australia to the world… a golden sponge cake, green icing & a chrissy kangaroo. Still have some letting to do & some other stuff but you get the picture.
Like Pat did with the housing models, I’ve also included a blank design that you can do up your own designs on. It’s self explanatory, cake top, front section, candle sides, top & even the wick for those of you dedicated enough. So whatever the occasion, no matter how far apart you live, there’s no excuse for not sending that someone special a little cake… and hey girls, there’s no calories!
File size is OK. Full colour JPG compressed by 30% - total just 145kb per image.
Just remember to create your own model directory with whatever name you want – keep it short with no spacing.
When you are in the level creator, press <<SHIFT & M>>> to open the little screen where you type in the name of the directory.
Make sure your picture & model are the same name ie Model1.3ds/Model1.jpg etc
Open up my level in the Level Creator to see where I put things.
If you are stuck, just post a reply & someone here will set the process out a little clearer.
Regards & have fun!
Robbie

PS. And for the faithful few modellers, the other attachment is my original AC3D files for the cake & design – just in case you want to play around with it.
