A new hay bale model. (yes I really wanted to make a new one.) This model has a few cool features you might want to know about.

eXtra deep bottom edge for easy placement
The design utilizes a extra deep bottom edge which helps the object look "seated" when placed on uneven or sloped ground surfaces.

right on pivot placement for easy rotating on all axis
The pivot point is set where you would expect the "ground line" to be. When you place the bale it will be emdeded in the ground. If the surface is flat it will appear at the correct height and you are good to go. If you place this model on a sloped or uneven surface you will find it is easier to rotate and align into position than many hay bale models.


bottom plate removed for hi performance
The bottom of the model been removed for a savings of 2 polygons per model. A complete cube uses 12 polys, these use 10.
Essentially every sixth hay bale you place is a freebie :-).

I have included a single texture map sporting the harmonic cycle design art studio logo. Use it or make a new custom skin for yourself.

Thanks to all the Twisted Dirt crew for supporting my track design work.

I hope you enjoy these custom objects, look out for other MCM2 stuff from harmonic cycle design. Please let me what you think about the free object giveaway idea,
