So, today, more mapmaking, but we start out by creating a broken bench. I needed that for a map, and I thought that this was a good one to show.<\/p>\n

First we fire up good old reliable Cheetah3D<\/a>, as usual.You might have another 3D modeling application, use that one as the concepts are similar, just the way you do things are different.<\/p>\n

We start out with a basic element, the cube.<\/p>\n

\"bench-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We reshape the cube as a plank, and copy it so we got two planks. This is the base for out bench. Now, I said broken bench didn’t I? I know guys like IronDwarf back at the Dundjinni Forum, who can break things using Photoshop, but this is me, and I am a drawing illiterate , so I use 3D -apps to break it.<\/p>\n

Plank one, I will break using a boolean operation, I created a stair object i Cheetah3D, and then I subtract that one from one of my planks, like this.<\/p>\n

\"bench-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This will give it a rough edge. The second plank, I distort by selecting a bunch of points, then move then, like the following pictures shows.<\/p>\n

\"bench-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Select some points.<\/p>\n

\"bench-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Drag them out, then repeat this for more points, like this.<\/p>\n

\"bench-5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And you get a plank that looks broken.<\/p>\n

The edge that was but by the boolean operations, also needs a little love, and they looks like this when we are done with them.<\/p>\n

\"bench-6\"<\/a>\"plank-8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we got two plank parts, and are ready to build our bench. So, we create a few more cubes and reshape them for the legs, and place them like this.<\/p>\n

\"bench-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I do not care about polygon count, this is for rendering, not live, so real 3D pros might say this is stupid, but I do things they way you would build them for real, which makes them look real.<\/p>\n

Now, we fire up my favorite \u00a0texture making tool, FilterForge<\/a>, to render some nice wood textures.I use a texture that someone else made this time, rustic wood, as it has the touch I like for this bench.<\/p>\n

\"rusticwood-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"RusticWood1-bump\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the texture map and the bump map I used, I scaled them down 50% and reduced size, but they are still really usable. So, how does it look now? We group each halt so we can adjust it.<\/p>\n

\"bench-9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"bench-broken-b1-4e\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"bench-broken-b2.4e\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the two broken bench pieces, enjoy.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, we will continue with the last encounter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
