First, I scouted the net to find some pictures or drawings of pallets, but realized that you order them to a specified size, which means that in 1939, I don’t think the Euro pallet was even invented as a standard. Here are there small pictures that I decided to use as drawings.<\/p>\n
As you see, they are similar but very different in design. One or two way gaps for the fork, and different spacing of the planks for top and bottom. I started this by scouting back at CGTextures<\/a> for some worn wood and found this texture.<\/p>\n So, I went into Carrara 8<\/a> this time, to make a basic Cube. I though I go for the second drawing first.<\/p>\n First I stretched it, then I used the Replicator to get three similar blocks of wood.<\/p>\n Setting the Scene in Inches as scale, I could use the Size settings using inches. This is a neat thing with Carrara 8 that I miss in Cheetah3D<\/a>.<\/p>\n I create a new block of wood, a plank, and place it where the top layer will be.<\/p>\n Using the replicator again, I nicely space them out, just like the Array tool in Cheetah3D. The replicator is set to seven items x-wise.<\/p>\n Now I change the replicator to replicate once in the Z-direction, placing \u00a0both the top and bottom planks in one shot, this is neat. The Replicator can do this in all three directions.<\/p>\n And here is the naked model of the first pallet, Looks pretty real to me.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/pl0101.jpg\" "\\"pl0101\\"")
