So, I’m done with the tavern for a while, hopefully, it will soon be up on Creative Gremlins<\/a> for sale.<\/p>\n

Today, I’m gonna make some roof for the preset thread at the Dundjinni forum, as I will need more roofs soon, I won’t say why, but I’m working on “The heart of gods – part three<\/strong><\/em>” now, gonna play it rather soon, so I will be making stuff for that one. Will not show to much here, to spoil the players.<\/p>\n

So, let’s start up Cheetah3D<\/a>, and make us a cube, stretch it, and rotate it 45 degrees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, copy that, make it smaller, and rotate it 90 degrees along the ground plane, and move it a little to one side. I know this is weird, but look what you just did.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A nice top down view of a roof.<\/p>\n

So, today I’m gonna make some clay tiles for the ridge.\u00a0We create a cylinder, and taper it a little.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, we crate a torus ring, and place it to the larger end of cylinder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We merge the two objects using a boolean operation, to get one object.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, we need a texture to go with this, so I start up FilterForge<\/a>, and rapidly create a weathers burnt clay texture, hang on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First I crates a Cells<\/strong> component, and set it to rather small size, and with two orange\/brownish colors, to get a color that is not so constant or artificial looking.<\/p>\n

Then I create a Perlin Noise<\/strong>, (one of the best and fastest noises, very versatile component). I connect a\u00a0Wave <\/strong>component to the Profile<\/em> input of the Perlin Noise<\/strong>, to change the shape of the noise. This will be our surface.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, I do the same setup, but using <\/strong>a Stones<\/strong> component as input to the Profile<\/em> of the Perlin Noise<\/strong>. all this is to create the height map for the output. We connect to the Result<\/strong> component, and save it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the texture map, looks weathered and nice, as I used the Ambient Occlusion<\/em> when I rendered it. It takes a while but the result is ten times better, at least.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is the bump map, that the render program, in this case Cheetah3D, will use to render bumps in the surface.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is one piece, ready to be placed on the ridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is a roof using it (this one rendered with the roof window hidden)<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
