Handheld Lantern

[General Frank]

A nice idea, but the execution for now is quite lacking and there are a few issues that you have to address.
Please fix the following:

• All attachment models need a proper Death animation. During this animation the model should not be visible.
• The material properties are not correct. The materials should be set to 'transparent'
• For such a simple model you are using way too many vertices and faces. You should try to reduce the amount of those.
• The upper part of the lamp body has incorrect (and messy) normals. You should fix that.

@General Frank I have made updates based on your feedback

Ooh, nice!
You might want to add a light source to it through a node. Maybe give it a faint glow like the in-game lanterns too.

I have added a glow to the model, as requested.

Hello General Frank,

I have made some updates to the model. Is there more that I need to do before you will do another review?

 

[General Frank]

User agreed to provide more model variations in the future to improve the category of this model.

 

[smithyjones]

Sorry for the long delay!

I have added three more lantern models.

Please review when you have time.

 

[General Frank]

Material properties on the red lantern are wrong.

Also, all new lanterns have way too many vertices and polygons. Try to keep the vertex count to less than 200.

 

[smithyjones]

Ok. I will fix the red lantern and simplify the models to reduce vertices

 

[smithyjones]

I'm still working on simplifying the fungus lantern, but can you check if the red and blue lanterns are acceptable?

Work on the remaining model and I will review them as soon as you are done.

 

[smithyjones]

I think that I will not be able to reduce the detail on the fungus lantern without really compromising the design. Is it possible to improve it even with a high poly count?

I will try to simplify the fungus lantern, but if the polygon/vertex count is too high, perhaps I should remove it.

Give it a try.
500+ polygons and 1500+ vertices for a very small attachment is simply too much.
If you don't succeed in improving it, just leave it. It won't hamper the chances of this pack being reviewed properly.

I have finished updating all the models and simplifying them as much as I could.

I was only able to get the fungi lantern down to 389 vertices, but I hope it can be accepted.

Please review when you have time.

A nice collection of lamp models. Very well chosen textures.
Good job.

Nice lamps! i think you could change the fungus heads with a more recognizable shape, i had to saw the name to know what they were

 

[StonemaulMidget]

Noice lanterns!
Could you modify the fungus caps, so they are rounder on the rim?

 

[smithyjones]

I tried turning the fungus caps into hexagons, but for some reason this ends up adding over 100 vertices to the final result. I'm not sure if that would be accepted.

I'm exporting from Blender using a plugin, so maybe there's something I'm doing wrong. I'll ask around and see if I can do better.

For now, I've attached the model where the fungus caps are hexagons instead of triangles.

Great update

 

[DarkePacific]

Any chance you could add a small swing animation to it?

 

[Lyzor]

awesome lamps! its good to see that u updated it already (i just noticed today xd)
