custom vents being made! need ideas

[General Vivi]

If you have ever needed a custom vent or wanted a different type of vent , I am currently getting peoples ideas together and makeing them . I will be releasing all the vents i make into a vent pack for everyone to be able to dl and such. I know css has tuns of vents but the ones that i am making will look different and will have a more customizable feel.

*note* if you have any ideas or picture references post them here in this thread and ill get working on them.

some that i just recently made.

just trying to do a service to the community

I'd remove all those end faces, and make a generic vent grate model.

Nice idea though, needs T pieces, and perhaps some Y axis height transformation pieces.

[curman]

Can you post your textures? Just curious!

[dissonance]

Are these going to be available for any source mod, or just cs?

and how about making a Y-split and some tube ducts?

[Meotwister]

I'm pretty sure these are for his little conspiracy mod he's doing.

Yeah, do some that go either down or up. I see a place or two where you coulda done some optimization but hey they're just vents I guess.

Other shape suggestions are good as well.

[General Vivi]

well they will come in a model folder and a materials folder . then all you have to do is just drop them in your / mod or valve game folder to use them ^^

[Belgarion]

that's a really good idea. people should make more sets like this. heck, if someone can think of something like this they want I'd be willing to do it. good work vivi.

[General Vivi]

I figured someone should do it ^_^

i have been taking suggestions from the people over at interlopers.net so far and making the vents they want . If anyone can think of a neet and origional vent idea let me know ^_^

[Mazy]

Nice, that turn on the first one looks kinda strange though, tad hard to see how it really looks with the outlines and all.

But good, can never have too many vents

[dissonance]

mmm.

I'm talking the insulated sort of duct, like this (http://www.northwestern.edu/fm/design/current/lurie/images/7762%20duct.jpg), but with fiberglass insulation around it, and then a joiner like this (http://www.monroetwp.k12.nj.us/images/SuperScoop/8-13-04/Phase%20III%20HVAC%20Corridor%20Duct%208-13-04.JPG)

[General Vivi]

ahh i thought you ment something like this

just made that . but i think the middle vent part looks kinda wierd with my additional big vent. but thanks for the reference ill make one of those also

edit: i think i might keep it without ...

[dissonance]

Oh wow, that vent in the middle is pretty interesting, i'd never have thought of that, but i don't know how well it would flow in a realism-based level. Awesome, still.

Please show your renders at 100% self illu

[Rick_D]

I'd consider modelling the insides, why not, not too many polies and it'd be a nice touch of detail.

[General Vivi]

we'll have to see about that. atm im not doing that. but after im doing doign all of the vents ill go back and see which ones would benifit from having an inside
