To Verser: Nope, i haven\'t done anything for CB. I\'m just a regular wannabe, like the most of us!
Our helpful JellyWerker already answered to the second one, a good thing that is, because my answer comes very very late
When counting polygons keep in mind that polygons can be triangles, quads, and so on. Also if you want to be accurate, i\'d recommend converting all the faces to triangles before getting polygon count. This way all the triangles will be counted and there won\'t be any misunderstandings.
Here is some of my recent creations. The room was getting a bit messy, so cleaning was in place.
Plants from all around Yliakum. Models include:
Flower (on the shelf) - very simple plant model, consisting of two planes. There are 3 different textures, yellow (sunspot), red (ticklemaid) and black (grey boon). All the textures are 64*128 tga. I may yet find a way to optimize that a bit. The flower can be separated from the rest of the plant, allowing deployment of both separately.
(3D flowers have 3 different models)
3D Flowers I - moderately simple plant model, that consists of one leaf, leg and the actual flower. 25 triangles. All of the parts can be separated, mixed and combined as wanted. I made 3 textures for this one. Let\'s name them; white (sunsmile), red (loveleaf), violet (duskwind). The texture got fitted into 64*64 tga. Ps. thanks to ArcaneFalcon for the tip!
3D Flowers II - another plant model with 26 triangles. It\'s actually just a modification of the first one, featuring bud-like shape of the flower. I made 2 textures: brown (swamp pike) and green (generic bud). They\'re the same 64*64 tga as in the original one.
3D Flowers III - Rose style flower. I tried to recapture the elegance and beauty of the red rose. Model has 32 triangle faces. Only the red rose texture available for this model. Texture size is the usual 64*64 and format is tga.
Flowerpot - an alternative growing ground for plants. 128*256 tga texture. All the plants here can be separated from the pot and set to grow on soil instead.(except for the dried branches which don\'t grow anywhere!)
Thinleaf - a cave plant that survives on very little water, and light. Its leaves lack the green chlorophyl, and are very small, because the Thinleaf is able to chemically turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. Texture is 64*128 tga.
Trekweed - A common roadside plant. It can cover large fields if the habitat is suitable. Trekweed enjoys a lot of sunlight and warmth. It\'s not too needy with water supply. Trekweed is quite known for its ability to regrow its leaves very fast, and it\'s commonly used as a component for healing potions. It\'s root is poisonous, however. 64*128 tga texture.
Tickwood - Tickwood is a small tree. Far relative of cypress, as peek into Jayoses\' library reveals. It has earned its name because a certain specie of ticks breed under tickwoods leaves. Luckily these ticks have no lust for human blood, but hunt for bigger prey; elks and alike. Tickwood grows in forests and plains. Texture: 64*256 tga.
Bare sticks - Someone has been lazy watering her houseplants. Can also be moved from the pot to ground. Dead trees and branches could help create an eerie atmosphere deep in caves or in the heart of a dark forest. If nothing else, it serves as an adequate firewood. 128*128 tga.
Nub cactus - A keg of water just when you need it; in the desert. Nub cacti grow in dry and hot environment. The plants surface is coated with protecting wax, that keeps it from burning and prevents dehydration. It can also store admirable amounts of water in its fat trunk. It may be spiky, but it can save your life out there. A Nub cactus can also be thrown at aggressors.
Woodflower - Woodflower is actually neither a flower nor a tree, it\'s a bush. Its branches are flat and their configuration resembles a big flower, but if you touch them, you can verify that they\'re covered with bark. The woodflower has no leaves, and photosynthesis takes place in its branches. Comparing to conventional plants the woodflower has very little chlorophyl, and the assimilation reaction is very slow. This results in woodflowers slow growth rate. 128*128 tga again.
Carrot - Just in case Karyuu gets hungry again.
Texture: 128*128 tga.
Cones - For the squirrels! Added and modified later, the cones now have 30 triangles and a lighter 64*64 tga texture. The contrast with the white floor still makes them a bit dark though.
Thanks for reading!
