Look at what I made and om nom nom it! (Post your creations pt. 2)

[Moune]

Sorry to barge in, but I think I need some testers.

I've just spent yet another hour staring at these flower vases I'm working on, and I still can't figure out if I've got the sizes right. Must have scaled them up, then scaled them down, then scaled them back up again at least a dozen times by now. Most of the time I tend to think some of them are too small, but then I also think that they'll get too clumsy and presumptous if I make them bigger. 

I could show you a picture (and I will  ), but it doesn't really give you much an idea about the size, so I would really, really appreciate if somebody would take them into their game and have a look at them in comparison to other objects. And then of course let me know which ones should be bigger or smaller or are okay. I can email the files to any volunteers. Just send me a PM with your email address - or email it to me. I think my email address is in my profile or otherwise it's in the FAQ section on my site.

I'm about to head off to bed, but I'll be back tomorrow morning. Thanks in advance to anyone who'll give me a hand with this.

Moune, they all look perfect I'll take a look in-game though, pming you now.

Just judging from the scale on the bricks and the tables, they look lovely how they are.  But if you need someone to send them to, you can send them to me.  Let me pm you my email addy, in case its not on my profile.

fake edit: Or you can send them to Emma, since she typed faster than me.

Going by the pic they look pretty good. For my part it is not the size of the vase compared to other items, but the size of the vase compared to the flowers in them.
From that standpoint the vases look really good. I suppose the next fact would be the reality of the size of the flowers  Hoping you get them to where they suit you as I would love to have them! Very pretty!!

[Missbonbon]

I also wouldn't mind trying them out since they do look lovely.  My only thing just by looking at the picture is that I feel the glass should be more transparent. It just seems to white to be glass.

[Moune]

This is great. Thanks for all the responses. I've sent them to Emma and ChemistryCourtney. Soggyfox and Missbonbon, your email adresses are listed as hidden in your profiles.

Maybe I'm too obsessed with this size thing (no, I'm not a man  ). But the idea of making them came about because I had downloaded a set of flowervases from somewhere. They were very pretty, but they really annoyed me because they were way too small. So I decided to scale up the meshes. And while doing so I figured it could be fun to make my own. Only now I just don't want to make another set of too small flowervases.

Missbonbon, I actually settled on the white glass on purpose. My mom has a vase like that that I've always liked. But there will be a darker recolor that you might like better.

[scrappysim]

Well, I like the idea that you have done so many different sizes.  The perfect size would usually be determined by what you are using it for.  Having so many choices would allow for them to be used in so many ways it should guarantee that there would be a perfect choice for most people or most situations.  I think they are great.

[Missbonbon]

Oh I like the white, don't get me wrong. I didn't think you were intentionally going for a semi white vase.  Are the dark recolors solid or different shades of the glass?

[Moune]

I'm sorry Missbonbon. I didn't mean to come off that defensive. Just trying to say that I was aiming to get the same texture that my mom's vase has in real life. And I think you might be right that it got a little too white. I've now toned it down a little. It's still white, but not as white as before, and it certainly looks better. Many thanks for the imput. 

Oh, and the recolors are a mix of different glass shades and solids. So far six transparents and eight solids. Just can't seem to stop once I start making recolors. 

ETA:
Got your email addy. Sent the 'less white' version to you. Thanks.

Oh your welcome. I don't think you were being defensive at all actually. Now if you would have told me that we are taking this outside and to bring some brass knuckles, then I would have thought you were to defensive.  So no need for apologies.

Thank you for the items. They look marvelous.  But I just want to point out, that recolors = awesome.

[Moune]

Glad to know that. Thanks. 

Here are the recolors:

The transparents:


And the solids:


This is only the vase recolors, of course. The flowers themselves have entirely separate recolors.

The scale seems perfect to me, Moune.  Can't wait til you put up the finished project.

*gapes*  Moune, I'm glad you barged in, those are lovely.

[SoggyFox]

They look as lovely in game.  Can't wait to use them, but first I need to catch up on my downloading.  Haven't been while on the laptop, but I'm now down mostly on my desktop and that's -my- computer.  I eated a sammich today and a crunchy cookie - and managed to get the spoon for my ice cream into my mouth - we even went out to eat - I felt almost normal.
