I found this when I googled for a medieval sieve.<\/p>\n
So, let’s first try to make the weave, which I found was hard to get good in Cheetah3D<\/a>. It was either to complex, which caused Cheetah to crash, or looked awful. So, then I remembered that Cheetah 5.x now have a better support for transparent textures rendered on transparent backgrounds. This was a problem in the old 4.x.<\/p>\n FilterForge<\/a> has many wood weave filters, so I used one and made this texture. (This one is non transparent jpeg as the png-version is over 300kb, too much load for my line to handle<\/em>).<\/p>\n This might do it, some artistic freedom can be allowed don’t you think?<\/p>\n Now, we create a circular plane in Cheetah3D, and add the texture to that, and enable transparency from alpha channel.<\/p>\n We now create a tube, and make it very thin, and size it as the sides of the sieve.<\/p>\n We need a light wood texture for that, so we use Wood in FilterForge to get that texture, looks like this.<\/p>\n Now, we just have to add some handles, and we make them using a torus ring that we size to ythe size of a handle, according to the original picture.<\/p>\n We then create a box, to cut away the bottom half.<\/p>\n After a Boolean remove, we add another wood texture to the handle, so it will look more distinct, the cottage wood we often use, as it is a very good texture. We also create two small torus rings, and use the rope texture, to hold the handles.<\/p>\n Then we group the handle and the ropes, copy the group and move the copy to the other side, for the other handle.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/si00.jpg\" "\\"si00\\"")
