Locks 'n' Handles

[DeepOmega]

 

Guess which is the simple one and which is the complicated one.

 

Go on, guess.

 

Polycount is as follows:

 

750, 521, 286 from left to right

 

These polycounts are kinda high, especially for common objects. I can maybe drop some flanges, but I'm gonna try to optimize the handles first. They're not very efficient.

 

Edit: Scratch those previous numbers. Got it down to 646, 459 and 201.

I think the leftmost is the simple one, right? Looking good.

Yes, very nice, but you should add actual keyholes to them for the picks to go in to.

That can be handled by a texture, but there should possibly be a raised area around the keyhole as well.

 

Does that polycount count the screws as well? Those can be handled on the texture.

nice design

Perhaps if an actual hole was put in there, and they were put at crouch-eye-level, you could have a peep into the next room.

[sparhawk]

Only if the door were made with a hole as well. We already discussed this idea though.

Perhaps if an actual hole was put in there, and they were put at crouch-eye-level, you could have a peep into the next room.

We voted that idea down, way back in our infancy.

Looks great, Deep. Let me know if you want concept art for some more, or if you'd rather just let your imagination run wild.

[DeepOmega]

While I plan to imaginate, hook me up with some concepts too.

Here's a few pictures:

edit: although three locks is probably fine for the first milestone...we aren't doing lockpicking until later anyway.

Would they have had a version with the keyhole integrated into the handle that you turn in this setting, or is that too modern?

[Springheel]

They were on the handle in T2, but I think they look a lot better underneath, which is where they would have been realistically.

[DeepOmega]

 

Had a ton more but ended up culling it down to these. I kinda want to leave the bolt things - especially if we're zooming in on them. They're only 4 polys each, which is nothing.

 

The thing is, these things are waaaay heavy, poly-wise. However, I can make a few supersimple handles as well, to use on general, non-picked locks. Nonetheless... sketchy. As in, these five handles are over 1900 polys. Ouch.

 

Thoughts, anyone?
