Bear hanging with rope - Page 2 - Polyloop

EricD · 15th September 2008, 20:51

I love the concept, the modeling and the bear texture. I'm not sold by the rope. It looks too cartoony and probably should be distressed/frayed a bit more. And I'm not sure a basket would stay perfectly balanced under these conditions. The weight would probably shift to one corner.

Thanks Erick D, I was thinking about Shift the corner of the basket, and about the Rope I don't mind the cartoony look But am going to try your Idea I think it going to look better.
Something like this i think

EricD · 15th September 2008, 23:45

That's it. The elongated weave and the sharpness make it look more like a steel wire than a rope. If it's a displacement map, try adding noise to it.

I like the original rope because the image is a cartoon! Except the skulls (IMO they don't fit with the bear, I think at some apples?

) I like all!

Can you tell me, please, how to paint clouds like that (the basic steps)?

moxstudios · 16th September 2008, 21:11

Here is my sketch of the idea

I think am going to add the apples,
am going to import everything to XSI,

I am a bit sad that the skull is there and i feel depression

The bear is very cute, and realistic, but from the first time I saw him I sensed something a little sinister about him, like maybe he was Chucky's favorite stuffed animal. I guess I must be a good judge of Teddy bears!

Can you give some ideas on how you went about doing the rope (and knots) displacement effects please?

Or anyone else who has a simple way of creating rope displacement on curved/twisted/knotted ropes?

A plug in for Carrara like this one for Lightwave?

A couple of files I created today with MoI/Carrara if of interest/value to anyone. (And some wished for results!!!!)

That looks super Brian!! Now you just have to build the rest of the sailing ship to go with it.

bwtr · 19th September 2008, 09:34

I have the basics of the boat made---attached MoI/Carrara effort.

Life does not get easier as one develops/progresses!

Thanks bwt i was trying the same process using a texture for displacemap with bumpmap.
but this ones is really nice did you have it in a a big resolution?.

bwtr · 19th September 2008, 15:47

No Juan.
That is the size I made.

Brian

moxstudios · 21st September 2008, 05:39

Here are some test in XSI and carrara, playing with a different angle
I think the rope looks much better now, not perfect but its ok.

bwtr · 21st September 2008, 07:57

Looking very good.

Despite all the years and tutes I just can not get good rope like you have there in your Carrara render!

Any help/clues/secrets/advice really appreciated.

Brian

moxstudios · 21st September 2008, 21:05

I use Roadkill for the Uv and 3d coat to get the details of the rope.
Also I upload the texture

Magnificent Juan.

Thank you very, very much.

Brian

moxstudios · 22nd September 2008, 17:18

Thomas · 22nd September 2008, 19:17
