A Lipstick Tube! Made this model myself. You can change the color of the lipstick and the tube.

This is another one of mloakley's requests.

 

Any mod requests?

[mloakley]

It looks great, thank you!

Your welcome! I also posted about a dice I made if you're interested.

 

The other things you suggested that I could make will be done soon.

 

I kind of want to make some more simple mods (Little, simple objects such as Lipstick and Masking Tape) Do you have any suggestions?

[mloakley]

I'll check the dice out, thanks.

 

Oh IDK, simple things ????

Eggs (white w/ yolk in the middle)

bacon strip

toast

 

simple food items

 

glass of milk 

glass of OJ

 

other things ??? 

 

duck tape maybe, perhaps a ten, twenty and hundred dollar bill

coins? dime, nickle, quarter????

 

if I think of anything else, I'll post.

 

thanks

Thanks for the suggestions! Will try to make some of them.

One further suggestion for the sake of the tidiness of the forums and the convenience of an eventual user: please put all those simple static assets together as part of a single addon, instead of releasing every one of them as a separate pack and trumpeting the achievement every time you produce one of them.

Yes, I will do that.

I'm going to make one addon with more than 100 simple objects. Most are my own models, some aren't (from a long time ago). I'm almost half way done.

Don't do that: it's not advisable to have too many props in a single addon or having props with meshes too large.

 

Take into account, when an addon is compiled, the meshes of every prop are combined inside a single file named meshData.data, plus a index file meshData.idx. This is for optimizing the access to the meshes all over the set of active packages.

 

The problem is, as soon one single prop from an addon is placed on the set, the full meshData file is mapped into the memory of the JVM, not just the mesh of the prop itself, detracting from the memory globally available.

 

So a compromise must be met: try to gather a reasonable number of props related in some way (thematically or whatever reason you can think of) and make a pack with all of them, but don't try to create the hyper-mega-ultimate pack with every thing you come up, especially if, as I said, some of the props have a large mesh -the latter should go in their own separate addon.

Oh, Okay. I will make a Convenience Store addon with a few things it. Maybe that's where I can put the tictacs.

That's a very good and sensible idea, Lewis. If you have a chance, take a look at (and get) some of the addons in the "Small Town" series by Squirrelygirl. Each one of them includes a specific kind of shop, commercial or service building or activity (pizzaria, bar, barber shop, casino, bank, post office, you name it) and lots of props related. I do love them all.

I just thought of it, I could make all the addons separately and than put them in a .zip file and do it that way If I wanted to make something with a lot of addons
