Maybe he's just waiting to give us a surprise?

Act surprised?

He didn't answer an email I sent him either. Maybe he died

Rexy speaks truth. The trowel and hammers in particular look like someone set them to smooth every single vertex, which is a bad idea.

Also, I see a few props with glowy-edged mipmaps, again, which is starting to become the new green shift. Some stand out more than others, and I suspect it's a matter of some of the contributors always using sharpening and others never using it. I'll try to suss out which ones have it and get a list up soon.

All in all, though, I do like this pack. Minor issues aside, there aren't any props that look straight-up bad this time, which is to be expected since everyone's had time to bone up on technique and all that. I'm actually more disappointed in what I'm not seeing here, namely some of Ace's artpass stuff. Especially those pylons with the flashing lights on top. Maybe you can convince him to add them in for the update.

Guys, this is a really great pack. I mean it, good work. You're adding a good amount of very flexible assets that can be combined with every theme out there, thus essentially broadening the visual style of a theme two-fold.

Indeed! Allow me to demonstrate!

(That was part of a larger goofing-around-in-Hammer thing I did ages before I knew this was coming out. The ladder and toolbox are the only thing I added.)

For some reason this reminds me of Opposing Force... :mellow:

That ladder seems weirdly tall. Hinged ladders are usually at most half that height :/

 

[tyler]

I use ladders taller than that every night at work.

In fact, I've used a 25 foot hinged ladder a few times. But I don't have to use it very often.

If anything, you can say it's exaggerated for effect.

 

[Leminnes]

I've seen hinged ladders that tall fairly often. My parents own one that tall. I think the lack of a character model in that screen messes with the scale also.

 

[LeSwordfish]

Ive used one that size, but it was metal.

 

[Rexy]

I don't think that ladder has enough dogbread.

 

[zpqrei]

I don't think that ladder has enough dogbread.

I regrettably agree.

 

[lana]

Maybe zpq should lead a team to add dogbread to the construction pack.
