I promised the secret bark didn’t I? And as DnD is a fantasy RPG, lets make a silver bark. Logs from the silver tree, burns with a calm green flame. Sorry, I got a little carried away, as always.
So, here it is, and rendered with bump map, so we can see the difference, if any in the logs. I did that in FilterForge, using one of my filters, tree bark with a twist.
And I did a light bark, have no clue what tree it is, maybe yet another wonderful tree from the fantasy woods.
I created two more fire wood pieces in Cheetah3D, one with silver bark and one with light bark. Ah, hate that name, let’s call it Cindereth Elven Wood , so done, one with Cindereth Elven Wood.
So, the fire wood with Cindereth Elven Wood bark. Why do I always come up with names so hard to type?
Now, I make a copy of each of the four pieces, and use the magnet too, to add bumps and distort the piece a little. As you see on this shot, I had a bleed from the end wood to the log side, so I had to fix that later on.
And here is the silver tree fire wood piece, same damn bleed, I used the same base piece for both.
And here is one of the birch fire woods, made it rather bumpy as that is how birch looks, where I live anyway. It also had the same bleed, but you can see it as I cleverly turned that side away from the camera.
So, what will we do tomorrow? Build nice piles that we can out into baskets, or larger piles to have beside the fire place, or maybe even a fire place wood preset to put into fire places. Well, I have plenty of ideas, only time will stop me.
