[Suggestion] Wrought Iron Fence barrier shape #273

Open Syndaryl opened 9 years ago

Syndaryl commented 9 years ago

I'm finding myself wanting a Carpenter's Barrier in the shape of a wrought iron fence - a single layer of bars rather than the double layer from the two different picket fences (3d rectangles, not flat with alpha holes like the vanilla bars). For the top row of blocks, I'm thinking level-height arrow-shapes or little pyramid points on the top of the bars, instead of undulating, like the slim picket fence, or just ending in a horizontal beam or square ends on the bars. I think a big solid post on the corners and ends and under torches makes sense, you have a few versions of those.

Vanilla Iron bars don't make a nice post, they do that weird cross-thing. They also don't connect to any kind of doors.

This is a nice Victorian look with a black material (or black stain on iron) on them. With regular iron, they'd make a much better looking set of bars for prison cells or security areas than the vanilla, 2d Iron bars.

When designing the barriers I usually throw an idea into a 16x16 image that I can use as a reference when drawing the cuboids. I always understand concepts like this better with pictures.
