First, I realized that the bowl cannot be made of wood, it must have been made out of clay, so I rendered a clay texture in FilterForge<\/a>.<\/p>\n The diffuse map.<\/p>\n And the bump map.<\/p>\n Now, we start Cheetah3D<\/a> again, and continue working. OK, this was something tricky that I’ve never done before, and I think I succeeded pretty OK. I needed ropes, and more specific, knotted ropes, which I’ve never done before.<\/p>\n So, I went to front view, and created a spline, then used a ring and a sweep to sweep the spline with the shape of the ring.<\/p>\n Now, I went to perspective view again, where I moved the individual points in the spline to get the rope knot look more real.<\/p>\n Now, I added a rope texture, I got plenty of those laying a round now so I didn’t even bother to render a new one. I applied the texture to the rope model, and this is what I got.<\/p>\n I know I could spend a long time UV-map every polygon, but I cheated this time, I used flat projection, and just rotated the UVs a little.<\/p>\n Now I placed the rope know, one on each pole. I also added a plane inside the bowl, and gave it a wine red water texture with some turbulence on the surface.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/wptwo3-01.jpg\" "\\"wptwo3-01\\"")
