Firewood and axe
-
Here is an image - what I did was:
- drew a triangle and a rectangle attached to make the basic, 2D shape
- PushPulled it up
- drew a curved surface horizontally and positioned so that it went through the 3D shape
- selected everything > Right click > Intersect...
- then removed the extra (unneeded) geometry.
- to make it easier, I copied and mirrored the part but there are other solutions, too.

Thanks, not to sure i can do that but i will try it
-
I could have uploaded a "tutorial" like file as well but I've seen so far that you generally manage to do it yourself once you get a hint - and that's the best way to learn things IMO.
If you get stumped, I may give more hints

Hi Mannie,
Here is some firewood i just made. I just downloaded some textures for the other pages here...is this what your thinking?
-
Well Yes that looks better then mine hihi
.
Mine look more like pizza slices lol
-
Other way to do it is to make the pile as a single object. Here is my quick illustration:
I just grabbed woodpile picture and bark picture from the web and went from there.
-
that looks nice to

Hi Mannie -
Thought you might like to see a really good axe and wood scene created by Urgen - his post from March 20, '08

That is a good scene yes. But i don't like using stuff that others made unless i get permission that is. I'm making free stuff for geek at play just to learn how this works
-
I made one for you, it's a little poly expensive as I used some plugins to shape the handle and head.
The .skp has no textures, I will post with textures if you want but the texture are pretty kb heavy.

I think you're so used to converting in and out of any filetype imaginable Solo that you forgot that .vob is pretty useless outside of Vue
Got it in something like say, .skp?Chris
-
Thanks, guess that will help. Gonna try that today

@solo said:
Here is the .vob with textures, feel free to share it next door.

Guess it is allmost time to call it done. It could use more items in the shed but since i catch a nasty bug i'm not that patient and creative to come up with anything else to put there. I was going to try to make some plaster bags to put on the shelve but i guess people that want to use it can use that wharf clutter from cornucopia
. The lantern i did of a tutorial on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S2CRbIjqlMThis is what i have in the shed part so far, axe is solo's axe by the way. just like to know what you all think of it so far for a newbie
-
Well, not really a plastic bag but with the scale tool you may be able to tweak it a bit:

No not plastic bag, but plaster, or cement if you like
. Like these bags http://www.howibuiltmyownpool.com/images/bbq-cement-large.JPG -
Ah, see.

From Contours Tool? I don't have one of those— is it a Ruby?
Your toolbar is much fuller than mine (v.7 Mac), and Help does not list anything for Contours. Could it have another name?
