Forge | block model suggestions;

[burnt hemlock]

This block will smelt crushed / grinded materials and turn them into a hot liquid,
The model has alot of details, I want to showcase it and get some suggestions of what i should do to the model.

[open flume]

overdetailed, like this depth

[burnt hemlock]

i think it needs more details

[rain otter]

very a lot of details

but it's cool

[mental kettle]

It looks like a clan castle

[tranquil carbon]

I was thinking the same thing 😭

Should simplify it if you're trying to go for a vanilla style thing

[royal grove]

Vanilla style cannot show good detail. It's basic at best.

[royal grove]

I'd say a form of metal casing with a mixture of stone for the textures

Given what it's function will be making the textures look tempered would be best

[burnt hemlock]

New model & { texture } ← not finished yet

@royal grove @mental kettle

went from 104 cubes to 46

[royal grove]

Nice

[mental kettle]

Honestly this looks pretty good on its own. Though, I personally prefer a bit less geo. But that also depends on the overall style you're going for with your pack! ^^

[burnt hemlock]

a texture remake

which one d u prefer?

[mental kettle]

this looks better I think!
I would recommend experimenting with blackstone like texture for the darker portion up top (not the iron bars and side)

[burnt hemlock]

this is the recipe, for now only.

[mental kettle]

Ah
Then your current texture makes sense. For me the first texture that comes to mind when someone says "Forge" is blackstone and anvil

[burnt hemlock]

hmmm,

should i use oil as a fuel? or just some coals?

for the basic tier, i should use basic things

[mental kettle]

coal sounds best imo

[ionic elk]

Well duh, vanilla style is not meant to show extreme detail. Its all about the texture

[royal grove]

Well given the complexity of the model pretty sure it's not meant to be vanilla based

[ionic elk]

I agree
