So, back into Cheetah3D<\/a> again. First, the top bars that will hold the pole should be tied together with rope, so I create a little box that I shape to it will look nice with a rope texture on it.<\/p>\n I start FilterForge<\/a> and use my rope texture filter, and rendered this texture.<\/p>\n Adding the rope texture to the box, and UV-map it correctly, and it does look good. Also, I changed the texture on those wooden bars so they would be an interesting detail. The rope does look good here.<\/p>\n Now I created a cylinder for the “hamster wheels”. The perspective skewing is from the modeler.<\/p>\n I now created another cylinder, that I later shape to be the rim of the wheel.<\/p>\n Now, back into FilterForge again to render a wooden floor texture for the wheel, I made it not square to avoid too much repeat.<\/p>\n And then I added the bars (safety bars I guess, even in the fantasy world, slaves were expensive <\/em>).<\/p>\n And here is a snap shot render from todays progress.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/meca3-01.jpg\" "\\"meca3-01\\"")
