Modesty screen prefab art, which folder?

Recommended Posts

Going through my old stuff I find my old black lacquer modesty screen brush prefab. I'll commit this for general use. I'm putting it under prefabs/furniture/misc rather than decorative as it just about squeaks in as furniture since it has some practical use rather than mere decoration like a vase.

 

But where to put the textures? There is different flower art on almost every panel - no, three only, I have some more somewhere not processed. Also plain black lacquer panel so they can have any size border. Also a knots puzzle art. I think I have more of those not processed. Also a shiny smear specular for them all. Meant to simulate black lacquer - perhaps somone can improve on that.

 

So, make a new texture folder? misc? art? decorative? They don't fit any of the current folders.

If you don't think they have general brush use, then they should go in the models/darkmod/props/textures folder.

No, go ahead jdude. That was something I tried long ago but didn't do it very well. I was trying to make a kind of fabric or canvas look but in the end tried to make a japanning look - black lacquer - which is totally black with a grey sheen when it captures the light from a certain direction. But doesn't quite work and looks a bit plastic. I've used these today patched over a painting to use the frame reasonably effectively.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.
