    very cool PNG yes

    for those wondering how I started off my bugle, it wasn't with a cube this time

    it started of with a polyline circle duplicated twice and then went from there smiley

    soft selection was my friend in doing this one.

     Hey Stezza, nice tip for doing spirals.  I actually tried something like that when I did my Cello headstock but when I started extruding and connecting stuff I got so lost lol. I ended up just box extruding from the centre and rotating all the way out and around.  And the lighting hides the fact that the wood isn't one piece.  Modeling can be like figuring out a puzzle sometimes.

    Huh, using lighting to cover up problems.  Might work in animations?  wink

    P.S. Carrara has negative lights ...

    How many times I've looked at that 'Negative' checkbox.

    Still adding to my bent pipe...

    wink  How many times I've asked where is that (unwanted) light coming from?  So then spend hours trying to turn off/on  lights ... or just "patch" a negative light in there.  Doesn't always work, but can be a time saver.

    comfy horn

    I like your cello headstock and am trying to work out the music behind it - looks like one of Handel's flute (recorder) pieces... laugh

    We should start a band, the Carrara Duet, maybe we could get other members...

  • Persona Non GrataPersona Non Grata Posts: 1,365

    Finished my bent pipe (or I'm bored with it now...)

    Shader using the excellent Weave by Shoestring Shaders (miss you) in the bump channel...

    Final render...

    How Was it done?

    Well, like Stezza used the polyline tool to create a skeleton for the horn and chord and swept hexagons to get the overall shape - tweeked with soft select and used native softbody physics for curtain and cushion. One spot with ies for drama and a backdrop to add ceiling reflection (see image below.) Simples !!!

    we've been ok so far.. the rain isn't as heavy here as it is in the Illawarra and Sydney areas..

    are you copping it? I don't know where in Oz you are ..  frown

    Good to know !!!

    I'm in South East Queensland, had about 60mm all up so far, but we could use some heavy rain to fill up the dams !

    it's coming your way I think!

    I must of had some kind of 3d premonitions last week, modelling a frog and a bucket with a hole in it!

    Warragamba Dam ( which services Sydney ) has spilled... not looking good for communities living downstream from it..

    a wacky rain gauge with its own wacky rain cloud!

    for all those wacky disaster renders surprise

    used the polygon tool for the cloud with organic construct and just a simple cylinder for the gauge n post

    Nice one, but would need to be larger for Byfield up near Rockhampton, they had 550mm in one 24 hour period.

    Flooding at Carrara....
