No level is complete without more rusty, ugly, junk. This one's really quick and that's why you'll find it in most games. The word for it is "ubiquitous." Rather a posh word to use for a battered barrel.
- Import the image into a new SketchUp project using the As Image setting.
- Scale the image so that it's about one meter tall. Move it so that the center passes though the Blue axis as shown here.
- Move the image down a little so that no part of the base of the barrel is above the Green axis, as you can see in the previous screenshot.
- Now click the Circle tool and type in 8 then Enter. This sets the number of segments to 8.
- Place the cursor on the Red or Green axis. Hold Shift to lock it to that axis, and click on the origin point.
- Now, click somewhere near the edge of the barrel, but not quite the edge, as shown next:
- A circle appears. Use the Push/Pull tool to pull the face to nearly the top of the barrel.
- Now, select the image and Move it away from the cylinder. Right-click on it and Explode.
- Get the Sample Paint tool from the Materials pallet and click on the image. Now paint the cylinder and the barrel texture appears!
- Use an untidy steel material for the top of the barrel or find a texture on the Internet showing the top of a barrel if you want added realism.
- That's it! A low-polygon asset! I know it looks blocky, but that also means it has a low polygon count, with a low file size. You can now use this all over your game level without slowing game play down.
