Today we’re gonna make some nice piles from our fire wood pieces. As usual, We start our dear Cheetah3D.
First, we make a traditional wood pile, my making a group of the eight different pieces we have, after we have aligned them, and then copy that group two times. Last, we adjust the individual pieces to they don’t intersect or leave gaps.
I still haven’t figured out if there is a way to write a physics script to Cheetah3D that works for non animation renders, some Cheetah3D expert might come handy.
This pile, snap shot in the modeler looks pretty good to me. Now, lets make a different pile, I do not know that the pattern i called, but it is pretty common, specially if you have slightly wet wood, you pile it like this close, but not too close, to your fireplace and it will dry very fast.
Here, we use all eight pieces pus a few duplicates. Last, I thought we make a pile that can be put into a bucket or something similar, this can come very handy.
This is the bucket pile, all fire wood pieces lean against an invisible wall.
So, how did they turn out, when rendered and with some shadow added in OmniGraffle?
They are 300dpi pngs, so they are pretty large, but OK, here they are.
And, with the basket I did the other day:
This was a grand finale of the fire wood experiment. I had no idea when I started it, how it would turn out, but I must say, it went really well and the pieces are great. TIme to another fire place mod.
