Collab2021 – WIP – amblender

[spikeyxxx]

@amblender apart from the ‘square’ pieces of wood, like the beam, I used only 4 planks for this scene (linking Object Data and rotating and scaling):

I decided on shared objects as well for nnow i have 5 different planks to sculpt, i might look into  reducing it to 2, then i can use my time sculpting.

@theluthier 

my sculpted planks 

[Angela]

I`m not shure if maybe a 3rd board of the short planks should be sculpted. for more variety and not too obvious repetition.

[Ingmar Franz]

@amblender with 15 planks along the long side of the and 4 possible orientations of the two planks together it sounds to me like a good idea to sculpt a third plank for more variation. I would maybe add a few dents to the edges of the long planks as well as you already did on the short planks (bottom right corner of your screenshot above).

[Angela]

@duerer is this what you meant with the dents for the long boards

[Ingmar Franz]

@amblender Yes, it’s these small indentations in the silhouette 👍😀.

Solid sculpture work for week 2 @amblender! One note from me is that the top board (long one) feels like a different scale than the other boards:

All the other boards feature smaller, more appropriately-sized grain crevices. This long board has bigger crevices which throws off the scale overall.

My last note is that your creases could level up by 1) being longer and 2) sharper with scraping on both sides of each crevice:

with the help of a this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2lXm_DBofc I understood what kent ment and started redoing my planks

i`m not going to add dents on the left and right side of the planks. they are protected by the other planks from getting dents there.

used this image as refernce on how my planks could have aged over time.

[Angela]

Only the frame left to redo.

Tried to make the long plank look like it got scrapes from the pots being moved on it.  like you get on hardwood floor from chairs and stuff.

@duerer does it look  like all the boards could belong to one crate or does one feel off? Any suggestions for improvement or can does planks go on the crate?

[Ingmar Franz]

@amblender The planks are looking consistent with the exception of the left bottom plank since it lacks the crevices running along the long sides of the other planks. For a final judgement, I would need a view of the assembled crate. 

[Ingmar Franz]

@amblender I’ve found out what caused the weird shading of the planks: The angle up to which edges are smoothed is set to 180 degrees angle between adjacent faces:

Set it to 44.8 degrees and it looks much better:

started with baking the normal maps. still have to workout some issues.

right now the crate looks like this

@theluthier 

I redid my Planks and made the NormalMaps. The Normalmaps still need some finetuning, before i can do the rest of my texture

[Ingmar Franz]

That’s already looking beautiful 😀👍! I’m waiting eagerly to see your final crate😀!

PS:  Once again: great idea with the compartments 😀!
