What is the smoothest texutre? Sand?

Not too sure what category to put this in, so I thought General would do?

I’m doing a build and I want the walls to be a smooth pale/tan colour. I’m happy with the sand colours but I was just wondering if anybody knows of any smoother textures out there (will least bumps/detail)

Sand is decent, but it has a slight wave that repeats and can look odd if the sun catches it at certain angles.

Thanks!

refined iron or any other metal for that matter is pretty smooth. sand is quite nice for that also.

I think you’re mistaking for the Prince of Dubai, I don’t quite have the funds for iron (its a big build) :wink: But i suppose i’ll keep it sand for now - Cheers Jeffrotheswell :slight_smile:

I’ve used coloured sand and silty soil for outside surfaces on my “bath house” build (can connect through my shop Lake(y) on Sochaltin I, via portal on PS Lamblis hub…sorry , shameless plug :stuck_out_tongue:) .

I’ve square chiselled the surfaces so get much cleaner look…especially at the edges but depends on how close you are going to get close to it.
There is also a cool light coloured (weary yellow?) sand build just of the Kada 1 PS hub…worth a look.

I didn’t know that you culd decrease your prestige! Is that from using loads of 0 prestige blocks or is that just repeating any block over and over again?

I think the chiselling can counteract the minus prestige problem.
Sand does still look wavey…just sharper at edges. The silt looks flatter but still has texture.

I think you lose out on a “bonus” for block variety or exotic-ness maybe?

Yeh thats a good shout, just tested it and it’s not quite the colour i want :confused:

yah something to do with the percent of 0 prestige blocks vs the rest of the blocks in your plots … I think.
