Earl's WIPs

[HaiGan]

The dough gets pressed together where it crosses over, when it's soft before it's baked- the total thickness at the crossing points is not much greater than the thickness of the single strand. Does your modelling app let you do that?

 

[Miss B]

YES, that's exactly what I was talking about. They are entwined around each other where they meet in the middle, which I didn't see in your screenshot above.

As for the street vendors, that's something you don't see much here in NY anymore, but years ago you could see them everywhere.

Oh, so THAT's how they do it.

Well, I put the salt on it.

 

[DanaTA]

Looks good, but still no twist. They're called pretzel twists for a reason.

[eclark1894]

Okay, a pretzel with a twist.

 

[Miss B]

Perfect.

 

[eclark1894]

Found the mustard!

 

[Miss B]

PERFECT!!

I call him, lollipop, lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop, lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli, lollipop
Sweeter than candy on a stick
Huckleberry, cherry or lime
If you had a choice he'd be your pick
But lollipop is mine

My Blender sweet tooth strikes again.

 

[eclark1894]

One day, I may just package up all the foodstuffs I've created in Blender. I'll either sell them or give them away.

 

[Miss B]

Sounds like a plan Earl.

 

[eclark1894]

Beer anyone? I still want to do this with a Cycles texture, but for the moment, I'm stumped on how to texture the labels in Cycles. I'll figure it out though.

 

[Miss B]

I'm not necessarily a beer drinker, but I think lots of folks do, so should be quite useful.

 

[eclark1894]

Do you drink sodas, Miss B? I did these back when I was trying to create that supermarket. Ironically, I did that one in Cycles. Just can't remember how I did the labels.

 

[Miss B]

I used to drink soda, but it's been many years since. I'm more a water drinker these days.

As for the labels, since they're solid colors with white text, it might not need much in the way of special Cycles materials.

 

[eclark1894]

Got a little more time on my hands these days.

So I started working on this again. Scary part is, this model is based on my local supermarket. Problem is, It looks a lot more like my local supermarket these days.

Other thoughts: I REALLY don't want to endure socialism in these United States.

 

[eclark1894]

I used to have this nightmare in high school, but I was either naked or wearing a dress.

 

[Miss B]

I think I'd prefer a kilt, rather than naked.

The check out counter's looking good, and I see you got a shopping cart done. Keep working on this project Earl, as it's coming along nicely.

 

[eclark1894]

I think I figured out a way to "populate" the store with products but without using many polys. Having some trouble though with texturing, as usual.
