New Living Room

I finally completed a living room idea that was rolling around in my head for months. I started most of these things back in March, but I lost momentum and almost tossed it in the recycle bin. It can be hard for me to revisit things that I have already done.

The living set consists of a large 3 tile sofa, a smaller 2 tile bench, various pillows, a tall cabinet, a trio of mirrors, a glass table lamp, a coffee table made from a tree stump, a piece of framed fabric for the wall and some glass pears in a dish. There are some things to note about this set. First, the sofa I really made for me. I wanted a more modern sofa for my game, but I wanted some detail and I wanted the challenge of making it low poly. The sofa is 4400 polys, which isn't too bad for a 3 tile object. It goes over the limit by about 266 polys per tile. I try very hard to keep things within the recommended limits, but if something requires a lot of detail, I want to keep everyone informed so they can make their own choice. I very much doubt that this would cause problems for anyone's game, but ya never know! Secondly, the pillows do not need a cheat to place - extra convenient for lazy people like me who hates having to do cheats when decorating!

I would like to point out that some of the items shown in the screenshots are available at B5Studio. The adorable tree stump chairs, the mirrors behind the sofa and of course the rugs and lovely screen made of doors. There are a lot more goodies that he made to go with his set, too - lamps and more mirrors - Oh! And how could I forget? The beautiful lucite console table, too!

Off to start B's bed!
