Easy rock build challenge
-
As a landscaper I often use bush rock on site (ready supply of basalt locally) but it would be nice to be able to model some rocks reasonable accurately & efficiently so I can use in SU.
So, I thought I'd put it out there as a challenge. I've attached a SU 2017 file with 5 photos of a rock I took (top, left, right, front, back) & orientated correctly in the model. If anyone is up for a challenge, I'd like to see how other people would approach modelling a rock using images etc.
If nothing else, you get some nice rock materials from the images.
Cheers!

I may have got the image orientation a bit muddled up on that first model I uploaded. I think Right is Left & vise versa. I now have some little labels to put in the photos with a scale on them. Saves having to remember what photo is what, which I obviously failed to do the first time. It does make it a little less confusing if the photos are arranged correctly....doh! Can also scale more accurately from now on, which also helps with accuracy.Helps to have some ortho photos of it open to use for comparison whilst modelling too.
Wasn't really expecting anyone to actually go to the trouble of "the challenge". But here's mine anyway. I think it's pretty close & didn't take too long to build. It's a lot easier when the images are ordered arranged correctly. Might become a texturing challenge next....lol.
