Fireplace "innards" model

[Tels]

If one of the modellers has some free time, I'd like to have new two models:

 

* one that looks roughly like the ash-bed of a burning/burnt fire (can be skinned), e.g. a almost flat bowel, with spreading ash and maybe transparent edges

* a smaller ash pile, that can be put into the fire to make the first ash bed more versatile and different

* a bigger ash pile

* one that looks like burning logs, criss-crossed, half-burnt, some bits glowing red (can be skinned to be made "put out")

 

Currently, the fireplaces always look way too clean, with neatly stacked logs, no ash and no residue etc.

 

Can supply some photos for reference and textures, but I can't actually create models. So, if someone is bored, go hacking

Have you checked the campfire models? There are two like this.

There is a prefab firegrate I've done might be of use @ prefabs/architecture/fireplaces. I've also done a crumble ash decal. I thought I'd included that in the prefab. Here is the prefab in situ in my map and on the next post is the model firegrate with the same ash. I'll check around for the info I did on setting up these crumble heaps but basically they do not tile so you have to set them up to just fit the patch and the patch should be square so it does not stretch the texture...

This is a plan view of how I arranged the ash patch so it was not too distorted...

This is the camera view from behind the wall behind the fireplace. The ash patch was worldspawn and sticks out with no problem into the void or into a wall. (I guess an entity would do if its origin is inside.)

Thanx, these prefabs sound very useful. I guess we also have a "dirty fireplace" skin now, so the "clean brickwall" can also be changed? I have a go and try to update my fireplace in my mill map then
