Roleplaying
Its time to make some new tables now, and some new shelves. I’ve been using Bogies so much they almost fall to pieces, the pixels are all worn and pale. And I’ve decided I’ll make then “Bogie-style”, at least to begin with.
I start the day by hunting for wood textures back at the favorite place, CGTextures. Sometimes real photos cannot be replaced by synthetic textures, and tables are one of them. I’ve done several table filters on FilterForge, but none can beat a real good photo to work from.
I found a few good ones, and I show you these two to begin with.
Now, I use OmniGraffle shapes to create images shaped roughly like the tables a wanna make.
A nice round table.
An octagonal shaped table.
And at last, an L-shaped table or shelf. All these tables will mainly be used in my stores and markets, at least in the first place. No, I create a filter in FilterForge to fix these flat, clean and smooth images into something that looks like a worn table.
First off, the round table. As you can see, a smooth bevel, some more roughness in the surface and some dirt.
This octagonal shaped table with that rougher texture now looks like a table, not like a flat image.
And the same goes for the L-shaped one. Tomorrow, we’re gonna make some more shelves.
