Hello, yet another art request challenge at Dundjinni<\/a> forum that I at first thought I din’t really have time with, but when greytale<\/a> wrote the following post I just had to do it.<\/p>\n

Interesting project and a great challenge for establishing depth.
\nI started poking around with a 2d speed version so we will see how it fares against my 3d cohorts.
\nI am sure that by the time I finished typing this Totte will have released this, three more pieces, and an article.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a04eyes rules!<\/em><\/p>\n

So, to not disappoint my friend greytale, here we go!<\/p>\n

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

After the original art request, someone requested some kind of drawing or picture of the item the original poster wanted, and this was the drawing we got.<\/p>\n

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

Let’s start the render engines and fire up Cheetah3D<\/a>, and create a tube object. We will use it for the lower ring, so we shape it like that.<\/p>\n

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

Now we make a second tube, and size it to be the groove filled with holy water.<\/p>\n

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

We do a Boolean remove, to get the groove.<\/p>\n

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

Now, we create yet another ube, this one will be the actual water.<\/p>\n

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

And here we have the water in place. It looks rather dull when all objects are untextured.<\/p>\n

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

We add a wood texture to the ring, and water to the water. Then we create another tube, this one rotated 90 degrees.<\/p>\n

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

We create a box, and then remove the lower parts of the ring with a Boolean remove.<\/p>\n

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

Now we create a cube, and we use edge move to move two edges very close so se get a triangular shape. This will be the candle holders.<\/p>\n

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

We add a cylinder to the candle holder, and set some wood texture to it as well.<\/p>\n

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

Now we add another cylinder and use a white texture to it, the candle itself. We add a light to it too. Then we place the holder at the end of the arch, and place a copy at the other end.<\/p>\n

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

Now we group the arch with the two candle holders, then we clone, rotate, clone rotate, clone rotate until we have this.<\/p>\n

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

And here is a render in perspective view.<\/p>\n

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

So far so good, but there will be more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
