OK, I’ve been lazy, my apologies, but I’ve done a cowl vent for a ship that I thought I would share. I know ProBono at DJ forum made some, but I made some myself just because I can.<\/p>\n

So, we start up Cheetah3D<\/a>, and today I will be using the new 5.5, which has support for normal maps, finally.<\/p>\n

So, lets create a pipe.<\/p>\n

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

We thin the wall and stretch the pipe, like this. Then we add a Bend tool to it.<\/p>\n

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

We bend it 90 degrees.<\/p>\n

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

Now we create a Torus ring and attach that to the edge.<\/p>\n

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

We use a Boolean Union to merge the two objects into one. So, we got the model, now we just need some textures, and for that, as always, we got FilterForge<\/a>. First, we create a plain white image and use Carl’s Derelict filter on it,m the texture map looks like this<\/p>\n

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

and here is the normal map. For you who do not under stand what a normal map is, it can be described as a bump map and a specular map all in one, as a bump map is only grey scale, but a normal map holds different information in the different channels.<\/p>\n

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

And here is another texture, made with a filter I just discovered call old tug boat, where you can set a color of the object to rust, very good filter. Here is the texture map<\/p>\n

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

and the normal map.<\/p>\n

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

And I did one more using old tug boat, a yellowish texture, here is the texture map<\/p>\n

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

And the normal map<\/p>\n

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

Now we apply the texture to the object, and we UV map it so i looks good.<\/p>\n

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

And here are they.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

So three nice pieces. And here is a zipfile<\/a> with the png-files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
