[Jammin] Wooden Walkways & Stairs Set - Copy/Mod/Trans - Mesh & Materials
Please Note: A copy/mod only version of this product is also available.
Viewing In-World is highly recommended - see the link below.
Over 40 individual mesh components and 20 pre-assembled linksets for creating walkways, scaffolding, balconies and stairs. A great compliment to Jammin's 'Medieval Construction' and 'Wooden Pier' sets.
[Mesh]
There are 5 different walkway pieces, with matching supports, bracing and rails. 3 stair pieces (straight, left and right curves) with matching inner and outer rails. In addition, 3 loose planks pieces for bridging gaps or creating ramps.
Supports - These are the main type of framing that fit beneath the walkways.
Beams - Spacing pieces that are primarily used for stacking 2 or more support pieces for extra high structures.
Bracing - A different kind of support that is intended for placing against walls or cliffs.
The naming of matching components has been made as clear as possible: The type of mesh, followed by the matching walkway piece. For example, 'Supports_Platform' matches with 'Walkway_Platform'.
The number in the bend pieces indicates the degrees of bend - Walkway_45Bend is a 45 degree curve. These have 'inner' and 'outer' rails and bracing components for each edge.
Assembly is made straightforward by the shadows/ambient occlusion that is baked into the texture - simply line up these dark patches with the intersecting mesh.
If in doubt, the pre-assembled linksets show how most components fit together, and are a good place to start when assembling your walkways and structures.
Land-impact has been kept as low as possible. Most components are 1 LI or less, with the following exceptions:
Walkway_45Bend 1.6
Walkway_90Bend 1.4
Supports_Platform 1.1
Supports_45Bend 1.4
Supports_90Bend 1.5
Stairs(Curve Right) 1.9
Stairs(Curve Left) 1.9
LOD meshes for the supports and bracing use an alpha channel in the texture to give the illusion of structure on simple geometry. If you have materials/advanced lighting model turned on in your graphics preferences, these will not cause any issue as they are using 'Alpha Masking' (NOT 'Alpha Blending'). If you do not, you may wish to set the alpha mode to 'none' - The LODs won't look as good, but it will prevent any transparency issues.
[Texture]
2 Material/Texture sets: Walkway_Planks, and Walkway_Support - for all support, bracing and rail components.
Walkway and stair pieces have an additional texture face for the underside to make them look darker/in shadow.
Diffuse textures are fairly light, allowing you to darken/color tint them if you choose.
The Walkway_Support set has been provided in 1024x1024 and 512x512 resolution. By default, everything uses high res diffuse, and low res normal and specular maps.
There is a version of Walkway_Support that has no baked in ambient occlusion, if you find that the default has shadows where you don't want them.
The full permissions version also includes a color-coded UV map (for supports) and AO maps.

Really useful, exellent looking and easy to use. Very well done, thank you!
Absolutely brilliant!
I have many stairway and dock kits, but this one is excellent! It has all the pieces that I have looked for in previously purchased sets (only to have to resort to making custom meshes). The best part is that the way the pieces are put together, you can get exactly the configuration you want. Imagine a steep curvy hillside with many lookout points and a beautifully undulating areas. And very low in LI when you link it.
Highly recommended!
