Good idea. The broomstick is adapted from the CEP placeable, but I agree it could use a facelift.

Correction - the broomstick is already using the hay texture tin01_hey2, but it's stretched beyond recognition. I don't have the skill to fix it, unless anyone would like to volunteer to reskin the original CEP model, zlc_o60.

 If you would like, I can offer a broom up I was working on, on part of an animated object set (that remains unfinished). Here's a shot of it:



 Just let me know what you think, and if you like I can get the files on over to you. Also if you like it, let me know perhaps in a private message, what file format would be best.

               Bristles set in a wooden block might be a little modern. Just saying...

               Brooms in general are not very modern though, and the thoughts of making a broom like that are also not too hard to come by, in a more medieval fantasy setting. Either way, I was thinking of the broom being used by a more upscale magely sort, thus the animated object set I was working on. Something to put in a mage's tower. Perhaps also not too abnormal for someone who can ride a broom.

I have had the animated objects on hold for a little while, just figure it may be of use to somebody. A less stretchy texture for starters.

               Drilling narrow diameter holes in a wooden block and then filling them with bristles is a little more technologically challenging than just typing bristles to a stick. But no matter.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_ia.Pepper]

               That is true, though I do believe based on the amount of perception players tend to have, they won't really give that much thought. Many players do not pay that much attention to detail, it is why game companies cut corners on some things, because the vast majority just will not pay attention to it, so it is not always worth it.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Proleric]

               I suppose the ideal would be a bunch of twigs, but presumably that's very hard to model?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_ia.Pepper]

               I am sure it could be done minimally, but my offer was merely to throw forth a pre-existing model. If it is not up to par, then alright, I will be on my merry way. I am afraid I will not be actively doing anything for this challenge, beyond what I have considered.

It could always be an elven/dwarven gothic broom... '>

               Hey, do the broom! I think it looks great, myself. I have no problems imagining a broom like that, in a setting where someone can FLY ON THE THING!!! '>

There was a time, also, when crafting objects was an art. Artisans made things the hard way, for people who could pay. Sure, the peasant bound straw to a stick to sweep out their dirt floor. But a wealthy merchant with flagstones could afford a 'better' broom.

Anyhow, don't sweat it. Different tastes are a strength, not a weakness. I'd use that broom. This is the sort of thing the CCC should be about, in my opinion.

Nice... love the colour. Is it keyed to Cloth 1? I'm thinking black, too...

How about a witch dress, with a ragged hem? Or the classic Morticia Addams version, where the skirts trails on the floor?

If ia.Pepper sends me the model, I'll rig it for flying.

I'll like to keep the CEP variant, too, as it's one of two archetypes that crops up regularly on Google Images (the other being the twiggy one). I'd still welcome help with the texture, but if no one has the bandwidth, I'll publish and be damned.

               @TheBarbarian - loving that dress.

also: hello everybody! I am slightly terrified of you.

Sorry about that. It's the teeth you know ()

Cloth 1, Cloth 2 for the underskirt, and Metal 1 for studs and other embellishments yep. '> Also goes pretty well with non-gothy colours. Very "Belle" in gold.
Ragged witch-dress, eh? I can do that. Best get one version completely done first though, including the male variant - even if next to nobody is going to want to put their dragon-slaying adventurer men into shiny dresses, consistency demands that the option be there.
The model of the Robe-skirt still needs work - there's something a little off about the lighting, the right foot clips through it in places when running, and I'm pretty sure it's more complex than it needs to be (but I pretty much have no idea whatsoever what I'm doing with this so I may be talking nonsense). Not sure I have the modeling skillz to set up a flared skirt to look decent animated, yet. One day I shall, and there shall be flared skirts... but that day is probably not going to be within this month. '>
