[Tutorial > Texturing] Texturing an arch - #2
-
Thanks a lot, Gai and Thom. The slicing off did the job, now I can bend the bricks and builid archs in my La Olmeda model. How could we newbies do anything without you the masters?
Gai, if it happens that you come to Spain to see Roman villas or whatever, drop me an email-hope that you, as moderator, can get my email. Please note I am in Palencia, with P (people get confused with Valencia, with V).
| Villa Romana La Olmeda
La Villa Romana La Olmeda, es una gran mansión rural del Bajo Imperio (s. IV d.C.), cuyo edificio principal o pars urbana, es de planta cuadrada flanqueada por torres en cada esquina y se dispone en torno a un patio central y peristilo al que se abren las distintas dependencias. Esta villa palaciega abarca una extensión en superficie de 4400 m2 con un total de 35 habitaciones repartidas entre la vivienda principal y los baños, 26 de las cuales están decoradas con 1450 m2 de mosaicos polícromos conservados in situ. El conjunto fue declarado Bien de Interés Cultural el 3 de abril de 1996.

(both in Spanish, sorry!)

That's quite a villa indeed!
The first link did not work at all but the wikipedia page also exists in English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Olmeda
-
The first link is OK, Gai. The web administrators, I don't know why, shut off their web sites by night, and turn on then early in the morning. It's a provincial institution-Diputación Provincial in spanish- and they have this weird way of publishing their web sites.
-
Yes, I can see now... "Reconstrucción Virtual > Próximamente". Is this what you are working on?
-
No, I am a newbie, and cannot take that job by now. I am a teacher, we plan do educative software and documents related to the Olmeda Villa. My 3D model is may way to learn SU with a motivating subject. Perhaps in the future I will be able of making something worth of the Villa.
-
Get me to do it then. I am an archaeologist, too.
-
Ok, Gai, I'll take your word.
When I became profficient enough in SU to do the job, I'll call you. I have to work hard in SU. Then they have to let me take photographies and measurements of the Villa. I think there will be no problem, because I am in very good relations with the Villa's provincial managers. -
Thanks guys! Thanks for the tutorial and the tools!
Just saved me with this huge arch for an addition, which matches a design done 10 years ago on the same building.BTW - I didn't read past the initial steps since I didn't have any issues, but if you are matching an opening - make the height of the flat column of brick equal to the length of outer arc of the assembly. Did that make sense?
-
Nice arch!
Of course, now we have Whaat's SketchUV Plugin (with tube mapping) which save even more time and head-ache...

I guess it all depends where you grab that column (inner or outer side) with Fredoscale.
-
Is there a way to do this without the FredoScale plugin? I'm making a gothic arch like the one mentioned in the previous thread:
I assume this was modeled with the follow me tool, which is what I did do model it.
-
This wasn't made with FredoScale nor the Follow me tool.
I drew the outline, then offset to make the inner hole. Then another offset to create the line in the middle. After that I selected the edges of the inner hole and moved it inwards.
hm... this is probably better suited with screenshots....

What flashed up at the start?

-
ah - I use shortcuts of often I don't even notice it. That's my tool to inspect face and edge normals: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21472#p180592
-
Thanks thomthom! But I'm still not sure how to use the arcs as a perpendicular path for the textures like you did.
-
It's time to make some new tutorials based on newer plugins (or newer versions of plugins). I might put together something during the week-end.
-
That would be great! looking forward to it.
