Admin Rodney Posted November 24, 2005 Admin Share Posted November 24, 2005 That's a beauty! You might tone down the red a bit as it is a bit stark to my eye. That would make it seem more like paint. Thanks for the model too! That one is going in my collection. Simcoth eh... nice. Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 Thanks for the tip Rodney, I was wondering if using the weathering feature might help also on the paint look? last time I tried weathering I crashed to desktop, so Im hesitant on using it again.... Michael P.S. I forgot to set the bonnet tie downs to "render as lines" the group is named with render as lines in its name so just set it there if one uses the model.

Interesting you should mention that. Just a few weeks ago I started to collect some information and images for a Weathering Tutorial. A week or less ago I tried weathering a model... boom. desktop. I tried with your Conestoga Wagon last night... boom. desktop. I thought your wagon would be a great candidate for it. Something appears to have changed recently. Weathering is one of those features that *I hear* a lot of A:M Users don't use. I was going to work the Tutorial to show everyone what a great little feature it was. I'll obviously be testing more and probably see you in A:M Reports. Note that I did remove all the Simcloth and materials from your model when I was troubleshooting so it doesn't appear to be Simcloth/material related.

Ed Doyle Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Been having trouble getting through. This is my third try. If you're interested, michael, I'll send you a model of a wood grained wagonwheel I just did last week. Just Let me know.

Kamikaze Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 Ill have to try weathering on a simple model and project and see what happens...I use to use the feature quite often a version or two ago...even though I hardly noticed the resulting change. Michael Oh yes Ed ! Thank you ! that is a nicely detailed wheel there too. Send it my way and I would like to put it on that ole conestoga, and my stage coach model too..

Admin Rodney Posted November 25, 2005 Admin Share Posted November 25, 2005 Ill have to try weathering on a simple model and project and see what happens...I use to use the feature quite often a version or two ago...even though I hardly noticed the resulting change. I was experimenting with multiple weathered decal stamps and liked the results I was getting. What I was doing was rendering one at 25% (almost imperceptable), 50% perceptable, 75% weathered and 100% heavy weathering. You can then activate/inactivate each one and adjust the transparency/effect of the one you want to use. Initial tests were promising although the lack of difference between some made me think of just using %50 and %100 to keep it simple. The fact that weather images are TGA images behind the scenes is significant as well. Ed, Please share your wagon wheel imagery with the forum. I'm sure we would all like to see it. Edit: I see it now. Nice! Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Forwood Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I remember Martin mentioned, some time ago and possibly on IRC, something about scrapping the weathering feature so I would look for another method if I were you. That's a nice wagon. I agree though that just using less saturated colours will improve the look immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
