I promised plates today, and sure, we will make some plates for our tables.<\/p>\n

So, we start Cheetah3D<\/a> today again, and begin with the classic ball.<\/p>\n

\"ta7-01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We shape it very flat, so it almost like a rounded coin.<\/p>\n

\"ta7-02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, the classic clone, move, reshape and the Boolean remove dance, that we have done so many times before.<\/p>\n

\"ta7-03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This looks pretty awesome don’t you think? But when we add texture and render it, a little problem is visible.<\/p>\n

\"ta7-04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is hard to tell if this is a plate or a sphere, as the brain lack some of the shadows and contours used to determine such things as shapes.<\/p>\n

So, we add a small torus around the border of the plate, join the two objects with a Boolean, and set texture to it.<\/p>\n

\"ta7-05\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here you can see the clear shadow left by the torus, makes the brain see the depth even as it is not really there.<\/p>\n

\"ta7-06\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the rendered result is much better, thanks to that small thin line. We use a few different wood textures and make 4 plates, which of one is rather dirty, you never know when you have to make another Orc settlement.<\/p>\n

\"ta7-07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, four different plates, shadows added in OmniGraffle<\/a>. Tomorrow, we will make some mugs. Try to picture now a mug in wood would look like, I got a few ideas, as always, but the hard part is to make them happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
