Playing with Wings3D for fun (Micheus)

just one question: what's the status for curve option? in the thread I see W.I.P - so, how did you made the leash?

Hi Hank.
It's still that way. I stopped to work on other stuff and didn't get back to it. I still need to finish what I'm working one before get back to it. Sorry.
But, yes. I used it to build the leashes (three variations) - curves and tubes created with Sweep:

textures are photo or made in some bitmap program?

I built all textures using Gimp. As I wanted to replicate the original model, I used some pieces of pictures I took to recreate the "Grasep" logo (the text I just choose a font closer the one stamped on my reference object) and other pieces I used to extract the texture like the leash and the rubber on the bottom:

The blue label I built from scratch.

I also use the pictures as reference for measurement like when making these strips for the bump map. I use to create a base color first and then prepare the bump map (a layer for detail). Then, from it I use to create the normal, metal and roughness.


Create a tillable texture is something that takes time. I toke a couple of pictures with my smartphone and after choose one I tried to find a small portion which I could to use as pattern. After that a lot of work until get the final tile:

PS. if you're not going to render it with any external renderer, add more W3D lights.

Thanks for the tip.
Yeah, I should to try render it using Kerkythea, but it will take some time to setup the materials inside on it. A PBR render would be nice, but I don't have time to learn how to do that on Blender.
