Today we’re gonna use Carrara 8<\/a>, as I have a figure for DAZ 3D named Wine store, which has some great wine bottle props. I open the prop and this is how it look. This could have been done in other programs as well, but I felt I use Carrara 8 today.<\/p>\n Now we create a basic object, a Cube.<\/p>\n Now, I use the Replicator to make a 3×4 layout of bottles, to measure the size of the box I need to make.<\/p>\n As you see, I need to narrow the gaps between the bottles.<\/p>\n Here it is tighter, and I’ve started to build the box.<\/p>\n Now the sides are in place.<\/p>\n And here to top and the bottom are set.<\/p>\n This looks familiar doesn’t it, good old Cheetah3D<\/a>. As I was so eager to build I forgot to UV map the planks in Carrara before I placed them, I do that in Cheetah3D as it is much easier to do that there when everything already is placed. You can also see the bottles there.<\/p>\n So, I’ve got the box of wine, not for the merchant. This proved to be a real tricky issue.<\/p>\n This is the first one I made, using DAZ Studio 3<\/a> for posing. I placed my merchant and the crates inside the wine store, but somehow it looks wrong.<\/p>\n OK, I replaced the wine store with some dark cellar background props and some barrels and candles. I also gave the merchant himself a little touch of changes, but still, something feels wrong.<\/p>\n This time I used some other fine dining room background props and made the floor myself in FilterForge<\/a> using my wood floor filter. I still have the props and added a wine glass to it. This one looks more like what I wanted to create.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/winem01.jpg\" "\\"winem01\\"")
