[Tutorial > Texturing] Texturing an arch - #2
-
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.
