Roleplaying
As you might not know, unless you are from Scandinavia, Swedes and Finns have always had this love-hate relationship, ever since Finland was freed from Swedish rule. We laugh at them, they laugh at us, but under that surface lies a strong bond of comradeship, that goes very deep. So today, I will make something that might be needed to clean those dirty dwarves once and for all, a try sauna, which was commonly used back in our medieval as it was a way to wash yourself despite the fact that you would freeze to death if you tried to wash using water, if you could find any liquid water to wash in.
First, using FilterForge and my worn wooden floors filter, I render a sauna floor with water spills on, looks damn realistic.
Second, I use FilterForge to render wood for the benches, transparency not seen as I’ve transformed it to a jpeg to save bandwidth. I might move my images to another server soon as my most important client will get a 100 MBit line any day now.
Now, I start up Cheetah3D to make the heart of any sauna, the fireplace. A real sauna is heated with burning wood. Modern saunas can use electrical heaters, but if you only tried those, you will not know what a real sauna feels like. First we make a box.
We cut out the center using the copy, shrink, move and Boolean remove chain of operations. We add some burning coal texture and some light to it.
After adding some stones, and some smoke in OmniGraffle, and some stone floor around it to prevent the sauna from being a death trap, here it is. See that water vapors steaming up from the sauna fireplace, someone just threw water on it.
Now we need the scoop so we can throw water. We continue with Chetah3D a while. First, we make a pipe.
Now, we make a cylinder as a lid at the end of the pipe. Then we cut away half of it.
Now we crate another cylinder, as a handle.
We attach the handle with a boolean union, then use a box to cut away the front.
And here are the scoop, in two views. We add a built in wood texture to it, that we rotate to the the rings the right way.
We add some fog over the sauna, and here it is in a basement.
Now, even the dirtiest dwarf could be cleaned, maybe.
