Earl's WIPs

[Janet]

Looks really good Earl!

 

[Miss B]

Those are looking good Earl.

Thought I'd show this here instead of continually de-railing Chris' thread.

 

[Rae134]

nice, but may be a little low on her head since her ear is poking through? Great idea of having the brim morph from short to long.

 

[Miss B]

I don't think it's too low on her head so much as it's tilted too far back, and that's why her ear is showing. Actually, it might be a combination of both options. First I'd tilt it less than it is, and then, if necessary, raise it a bit.

Probably a little of both. As you can see from the first render, I enlarged the brim, but I shrunk the hat.

 

[eclark1894]

I'll get back to my Supermarket in a couple of days, but just thought I'd mix it up a bit by tackling the hat idea while it was fresh and I was so enthused. Tried my hand at a pillbox hat. I need to work on that. I tried to go with a wedding style pillbox hat, but I think it's way too small and of course, I still need the netting.

 

[Miss B]

Yes, it's way too small. Try making it larger, like the one in the photo you're using as a reference, and it'll be easier to work with.

 

[Satira Capriccio]

I like the smaller size. Fascinators, whether pillbox or some other style, come in all kinds of sizes from mini to humongous.

Small one from the 1950s

Larger pillbox.

 

[Miss B]

That second one Satira posted was the kind my mom wore, though I don't recall her ever wearing a black one.

 

[eclark1894]

Had a sudden inspiration on how to do an ear of corn! Too bad I don't have a raven or crow in my library!

 

[eclark1894]

Added a Butternut Squash gourd to the corn.

 

[DanaTA]

Is the corn going to have displacement? It kind of flat looking right now.

Dana

Don't know. I hadn't considered that. It's mostly for display purposes you know.

 

[DanaTA]

Don't know. I hadn't considered that. It's mostly for display purposes you know.

Yes, I know. But it will show in close-ups. Just wondering.

Dana

 

[eclark1894]

I spent all day trying to get this turnip right and I still didn't quite do it. Oh well.

 

[eclark1894]

Yes, I know. But it will show in close-ups. Just wondering.

Dana

I will probably do some maps for it to go into Poser.

 

[eclark1894]

Bored now. So I created this. Anyone want to take a guess at what it's supposed to be? No, it's not a pizza, although that's my dinner for tonight.

 

[DanaTA]

Young whippersnappers won't know this for sure! The one I used had a quartz phase-locked loop control. Direct drive. I don't know if you can even find one that's not a belt drive these days.

Dana

 

[eclark1894]

The ones I used at the radio station I worked at were all direct drive. The more expensive ones were. They were the best ones for Dee Jaying. Belt drive's tended to slip too much.
