Barn WIP
-
Manny,
You should be able to find plenty of barn pictures on the internet. Good start, and good luck!

This is what i came up with so far, i guess i need some more practice to get it right, but it is kinda what i am looking for.
-
Well guess now i need to make the other part of it, i'm getting addicted to this stuff. Anyway before i do would this be right ?

Well, let's say I like it at least.
But who am I really?

This is a Barn drawn for a client of mine in New Zealand. Unfortunately Im not sure whether he is going to crack on with the project, so its still on the drawing (sketchup) board at the moment.
In New Zealand our climate varies depending where you live. The site for this barn is suited in the lower half of the North Island and can experience weather as low as - 5 / 6 deg. and extreme highs up to the mid 30's.
The insulation of this barn was considered to be the driving factor (as well as the budget)so a R5.0u insulated ceiling and a R3.5u insulated external wall was shown in the construction doc's.
Id be happy to post .skp model as is (uncompleted) as model went to into CAD production. A point to note though - use the outliner to group and stick with modeling everything on layer 0. (except furniture or decorations / trees etc).Cheers Jeff

That's a nice looking barn, and thanks for the offer, but i need to learn myself. Last image updated and i think it's about right for a beginner
-
Ok, now for the hard part wich i do need help with cause i have no idea on how to get thos done. on the crossbar (colored red in example) i want a how you call it hook kinda thingie for a rope, and a rope of course where one end goes into the hay attic and the other end goes down to the side where i need to make something to attach the rope to. Hehe lots of questions i guess, hope someone could help me out with this.
-
Hm. I guess its a hoister what you mean (a little wheel which would let the rope run easier than just a hook).
Here is a quick one using the Follow me tool
Can you make it on your own?
-
Thanks that is what i was looking for, now i tried editing it cause it need something to be connected to that bar of course, i still have some trouble with that follow me tool as you can see
-
Well for today i done what i wanted, tv time in a bit and tomorrow i'll continue.
thanks for the help so far
-
Goodmorning all
I have spent allmost 2 hours on making the rope, but i don't seem to get it right. I guess i be needing some help with this one, cause i cant see it all to well. I bet that is the problem with doing this for me. Thanks in advance
-
I think the rope reaching into the barn would hang more "naturally" in a kind of tangent way which is easily reproducible.
Here I drew a half circle first (the piece resting on the hoister) then starting from one end, still with the arc tool I can get a nice, cyan inference meaning the two arcs are tangent to each other:
Then I simply "finished" the other end usingh the line tool
Finally the "skippy":
-
Thanks, i got it now.
-
Mannie, I did one a year or so ago for an in-game load image, no rendering straight photo texturing, thought maybe you could reference from it (it's part of my Tudor collection)
-
That's a mighty fine looking barn. And it has something i am planning to add to, first have to figure out how to make those hehe. I'm talking about the barrels, i want one that i like to place under a rain pipe commin from the gutter. Still alot to do and learn
-
Barrels (and such geometry in general) are easy to be lathed around a circular path with the Follow me tool just draw the cross section from two lines and two adjacent arcs.
-
Thanks will try that. However i needed a break from this started ti miss vue hehe, so i did a render of what i had now to see how it would look in vue and i must say that i am quite pleased with the result even though it isn't finnished yet.

Now that's superb! Even of a half ready model that's already a nice render, congrats!
-
Mannie that looks great, if I may make one observation, the wall panels seem to bump out at the seams, try reversing the bump in the material editor in Vue. (negative value)
-
Good tip Solo, thanks. These textures where the free low res ones from arroway, i'm looking at my budget and maybe buy that disc cause good textures will do alot to the model.
