Street Decor Set #2 by Syren
Set includes: Street bench (fixed), a long decorative crate, exposed pipe, an old hydrant, a garden border piece, a sprinkler post, and a broken palette.
When we have the CAST system, making things dirty by default is kind of stupid. We can make them dirty with textures. Making them inherently dirty makes them less useful.
^ That doesn't always work. In case you've forgotten, CASt patterns repeat and can look very obvious and unrealistic. That's why I appreciate when some objects have a default grunge texture to them, it's more realistic. This same idea kind of applies to bedding and other objects as well, you can only pull off certain looks using the square repeating patterns in CASt. If we kept the mentality, "oh you can just change it in CASt, what's the point?" then we wouldn't have some of the lovely rugs we have been seeing lately, as well.
These are very useful objects, but that's completely thrown out the window when the creator goes "I'll make them in grunge versions and only grunge versions so they're useless to anyone but a select few who love grunge".

ReplyDeleteThen they should at least do both.
