How did you model those curtains?

How did you model those curtains?

Real easy mate. I created a vertex & extruded that in a zig zag manner along the Y axis, to create the folds.
Then I extrude this whole line of new verts along the x axis, to give a thickness to them, then extrude this along the z axis & scale out at the same time.

Update:

Second chair modeled.

Superbe modeling. No matter if you win or not, this is gonna be a killer scene.

[Maximus3D]

Great update Tim gotta love your attention to detail and precision modeling.

Thanks.

Update:
Screwdrivers modeled.

Quick 50min Maxwell HDRI material test renders:-



Handle materials are two layer BSDF with transparency, dispersion and SSS.

No modeling update but a much needed test.

Maximus got me worried about rendering this scene, so I had to do a max faces test with Maxwell & my machine. I've used a sub-surfed Blender monkey mesh as a base.

Maxwell Render data:-

Render at rendered resolution:-

Close up of monkey mesh used:-


So I can render up to 7million faces quite easily, which means I can have 3 times more detail in my scene. Current face count is approx 2.5million.

to quote Toy Story;

"we need more monkeys"

Tim, I'm deeply disappointed. Deeply.

You really should have put them in a barrel.

Seriously though, that's awesome.

impressive work mate
look forward to seeing this finished

[Tim Ellis]

Thanks.


Small update:
Bin & bin bag modeled.
Film box and cupboard modeled.




Did another max triangle test with Maxwell as well. 12 million triangles.

Data:-


Render:-


Close up:-


Had to render this via the 3DSMax plugin, as Studio wouldn't save or render more than 8 million triangles.

First multilight test, using the switcher panel:-

Short version. http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?doc ... 5077476458 27seconds

Long version. http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?doc ... 6533426354 1minute

Sound is included. (Music by Pendulum - Girl in the fire.)

Poor quality of render due to SL2, as render stopped due to my incompetance with the -ml sliders. Still I have learnt how to use the feature, in this short test.

42 independent emitters.
