Today is the big day, the final touch of the wagon. Will it work?<\/p>\n

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

First, I need some textures, weathered wood textures was what I had in mind. So I start FilterForge<\/a> and use my little old cottage<\/em> filter to make this, the texture for the box. Diffuse map.<\/p>\n

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

And bump map.<\/p>\n

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

Now I need another smoother wood texture for the other wood parts, so I use the filter\u00a0wood generator<\/em> by a guy called Apple. First diffuse map.<\/p>\n

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

Then bump map.<\/p>\n

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

Now I apply and UV map the textures in Cheetah3D. Then I import a raw .obj export of the Millennium horse into Cheetah3D<\/a>, and size the wagon to fit that instead.<\/p>\n

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

As you can see, the model is ugly but it is the size I’m after, not looks. I create a Cylinder, add a rope texture generated with my FilterForge filter, and set the Pivot point to the very end. Then I clone it and place the clone on the other side. Now I can adjust it to fit the Millennium horse.<\/p>\n

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

See, looking good.<\/p>\n

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

Now I need the girdle, so I create a pipe that I shape to fit the back of the Millennium Horse. Then I Boolean remove the rest with a Box.<\/p>\n

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

So, its done, except that I added a leather texture, also from FilterForge to the girdle. I now export the model with both .obj and .mat files. and import it into Poser<\/a>. Here is a render from Poser, looking good.<\/p>\n

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

Now, adding the Millennium horse again to scale it after I imported it from Cheetah3D, but what is important is that now the girdle is perfectly positioned as long as the scale is right.<\/p>\n

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

Some scaling and positioning in height and I got this screenshot, I think this is getting somewhere. I now export it from Poser as a Prop, but before that I ensured that all textures pointed to files inside my own private Runtime structure and not to somewhere in my props making folders. I then launched DAZ Studio<\/a> to see if it opened well, and that the scale was correct. This is a screen quick render from DAZ Studio.<\/p>\n

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

I now started Carrara 8 and added the Millennium horse and the wagon to the scene.<\/p>\n

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

And this is the resulting prop, ready to use in Dundjinni<\/a> or any other map making software of your choice. Did we succeed with this? I think so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
