Barn WIP
-
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.
-
I'm getting all kinds of weird shapes but nothing like a barrel lol
-
try this quick tut.
-
Thanks, i'll try that tomorow. Tonight i'm not doing anything on the pc
-
Ok , im halfway thru the tut, now i am stuck at the step where you copy it 24 times around the rim. How does that work do i have to copy it manually 24x and rotate each or is there a fast way to do this ?
-
Hi Mannie,
That's done with the Rotate tool and the Ctrl button. This way you don't only copy the thng but by typing the number of copies and hitting enter you can make multiple copies.
Rad more srolling down to "Radial arrays" here:

That's what i was trying but what i be getting each time is weird stuff like this
-
Because you are rotating those pieces around a corner of them. You should select the one you make first then get the centerpoint of the circle and rotate them around the centre of the circle. Right click on the circle line and select Centerpoint to get a guide point in the centre.
