Pengy Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hello all: decided to take a break from texturing my construction guy and work on a still i had an idea for. This is a harmonica for it, still have to figure out how to model the intricate weave top but thought I'd see what everyone thought. Any C&C welcome.

Sacman Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 The weave could probably be done with a bump map easier han anything else. I have been working on a similar engraving problem with one of my models and have just about settled on bumps due to the complexity. Good luck Wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 21, 2004 Hash Fellow Share Posted March 21, 2004 If the harmonica will be seen this close in your movie, you might consider redoing the central parts with a tiny, tiny bevel on the edges to help define them better.

Pengy Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 Thank you for your replys. Sacman I think I'm going to take a stab at modeling the weave. I haven't worked much with bumps yet. Robcat I'll keep this in mind it's going to be in the still with a few other objects and probably not framed as tight as this. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengy Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Here's the finished harmonica model minus a the lovely maps..still have to work on those which should be a real learning experience Where the weave disappears is modelled this way on purpose. It's supposed to be old and worn. The oval shape is the name plate. As always any critics are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengy Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Here's another prop for my still. The colours are only temp. which leads me to a question. I'd like the derby black felt and was wondering what the best way was to accomplish this? Would a bump map work? Is there a felt material somewhere I could use?
