We’re in the works with a scene for my upcoming adventure for Operation:Fallen Reich<\/a>, Wicked Times: Bratwurst und Sauerkraut<\/em>. I’ve decided to build this scene in Carrara 8<\/a>, just to give it some more milage.<\/p>\n

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

But surprise to you all, today I will be doing some work in Cheetah3D<\/a> again. This person will be holding a folded newspaper in his hand, and as I don’t have any folded newspaper props, I decided to make one. So, we create a Box and shape it like a flat square, like this.<\/p>\n

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

We subdivide it 20 times in X and Y, like this.<\/p>\n

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

Now we use the Bend tool and fold the newpaper.<\/p>\n

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

We do need a texture, and I’ve grabbed a bunch of articles from UK Press online <\/a>(you have to register and for 5 pounds you can download for 48 hours<\/em>). Here I have two pages, stitched together using OmniGraffle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

I create a material in Cheetah3D and set the newspaper as texture. The I apply it to the folded newspaper. I then have to UV-map (which is something I still often fail on btw) to get it to look realistic. The red polygons are the one selected.<\/p>\n

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

And here it is after I mapped it, looks pretty good. You can almost read what it says.<\/p>\n

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

I export it as one .obj file and one .mat file, and import it into Daz Studio 3<\/a>. There I export it as a Poser Prop with a .pp2 export script.<\/p>\n

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

I then start Carrara 8 and import the prop. Here is a screenshot of a wireframe screen. I’m using a large outdoor object as the background. You can see the newpaper object in his right hand.<\/p>\n

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

OK, how will this end?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
