Modelling/Texturing of repetitive parts on a model question

Recommended Posts

Hello all.

 

     I've been watching a lot of tutorials and trying to search here on the forums for this answer, but I must not be searching the correct criteria. I am making Landing craft, and on some of the boats, the guard rails or poles that support different structures will essentially be the same part. Do I just model and texture one of the guard rails or poles and then copy and paste it? The same issue comes up when I designed a frame house (to make it look like it was under construction). The "studs" of the hourse, or the wood frame is basically the same item I suppose. In the videos I've watched, people don't really show this issue, hence the reason I'm asking.

 

Thanks in advance

Yes. It'll use the same part of the UV/texture and save you space. The only issue is these parts may look repetitive as they'll use the same texture  so perhaps making 2 or 3 and alternating to mix it up a little...
