making large fan....

k well you see...i know how to get it to rotate...but its just this thing is gonna be massive and i dont really want to make it rotor blade by rotor blade so how do i use that fan texture so that the fan looks reall....its gonna be on the roof so......

This is all you need to do:

Make the fan ... anyway you like, it can be a model, or brush, but once it is complete it needs to be a brush based entity (any of them where it stays visible). You could make it a physics entity, for example. The one thing you need ensure is that the entire fan is one entity. Name it.

Make a rotating entity out of a brush ... name it and make it the parent for the fan.

That's it.

That will also allow the fan to be removed and become a physics object (you can make it chop people up too).

But, If you just want a fan, I believe there is a self contained Fan rotating entity of some sort. It would work the same way, but you don't need to make a rotating brush, since the entity it self would have an origin.

it's not like you would need to make each individual blade seperately, though it sounds as if you think that's what would be required. you can clone a brush/brushes, by dragging it/them while holding down the shift key.

Yes ok well since weere on the topic.....what is a good texture to use if your in a sewer underground.....in the middle of an iceland....with mountains and a town

Well, you obviously want the pink tiles with green trim texture....

Show us something once you've built it and we'll be happy to critique it and make suggestions, but I don't think you're going to find this degree of hand-holding here.

Ok well heres the opictures you required.....jsut some advice...i know its going off topic but its stupid starting a new one.....my question is from above...which texture is best used in an underground sewage in the mountains

please take 1 minute out of your time to check these pics and help....

thanks

In all honesty, I'd just browse the textures and find something that YOU think looks good down there. I don't know if you really expect me to fire up hammer, build a sewer, then see what textures I would use, write them down, and then post em here. I think having someone else choose textures for you kinda defeats the freedom and creativity that comes with mapping.

Seriously those pictures should weight about 50KB(or even less) not
much more... :smile: And to some it takes more than a minute to open all
three images for viewing. Not everyone has a broadband. :smile: Something
else for you to learn.
