Title: Hourglass
Post by: Wyboth on June 18, 2012, 12:25:47 am
This will be another of the builds that will go into my fabled builder app. I think it looks a little bit dorky, but you can decide for yourself.

Update: Is anyone going to reply to this?
Since nobody else is going to give you your feedback, I will.
I've seen a lot of hourglasses in this game made, but this is one of the best I've seen because it's not just a pyramid with an upside-down pyramid over it filled with sand and it has the same effect a real one has on the bottom of the hour glass.

Thanks for replying, and yeah, the two pyramids thing sounds pretty stupid. If you have any suggestions for how I could improve it, feel free to post them.

I'm with Mr here, I like the sphere effect. The only suggestion I have is possibly widening the base and top, but that is a matter of preference to be honest.

I was thinking about doing that while building it. Also, if I widen it enough, I could put columns from the extended bast to the top. But I don't know if it would take away from the rest of the hourglass. What do you think? Good idea or no?

Yeah, that could work, or maybe change the material for the base to wood.

I'm more with you on the wood one. When I get on, I'll change it.
