Stable

[eclark1894]

Just messing around with this one...

 

[Miss B]

Whoa Harry!!

 

[Freyfaxi]

Looking good...one very minor suggestion ? Make the widow bars a little bit thinner and round..more like in pics that were posted ?

 

[eclark1894]

I appreciate the suggestion, but I like where I'm at with them now. Still, if you have more than just an aesthetics point, I'm listening.

 

[Rae134]

I actually like the look

but from a non-aesthetic point, I think they are round so the horse can't hurt itself if it does try to fight with each other.

 

[eclark1894]

Well, except the top and bottom strips of metal holding the assembly together, the bars are round.

 

[Rae134]

really? I think Freyfaxi thought the same as me, they look square. Must be an optical illusion because of the top and bottom rails and no shine on the uprights

 

[eclark1894]

Here's a screenshot in wireframe mode. Hmm. I need to make a few adjustments anyway.

 

[Gadget Girl]

Well, you're right, they are definitely round, but they do look squarish in the render.

 

[Alisa]

It's what I refer to as an optical delusion

Looking cool, Earl!!

 

[Miss B]

I think Rae hit the nail on the head. The uprights don't have any shine on them, so the solid black makes them look flat/square instead of round.

 

[eclark1894]

So I've started working on the stable again after taking a little time for myself. Question, can you tell the bars are round in this render?

 

[Miss B]

Certainly more so than when they were black in color. Now you can see the reflection on either side, which gives it the rounded look.

That said, and it may just be my aging eyes, but it looks to me like there's a double row of bars. IOW, a row of bars on the outside of the stable, and a row inside the stable. It's just at this angle it's barely visible, which is why I'm questioning my eyesight.

 

[eclark1894]

Hmm, well, it's just one set of bars on each side of the door.

 

[Miss B]

OK, then it's my eyes then.

 

[eclark1894]

This issue is driving me crazy. For some reason, some panels just come out dark. It's not a reversed normal. In fact, when I import it it looks fine, it just renders dark. I just don't get it.

 

[Gadget Girl]

So the bars look kind of oblong to me now, which I think is fine.

As for the panels, I assume you mean that top is supposed to match the bottom on the doors? Also is that happening in both SF and FF, I'm assuming that's a SuperFly render.

I know you said you checked and it's not a reversed normal, but did you use any kind of mirror symmetry option when creating the doors? I think if you do that, some times image maps don't copy over to the mirrored geometry the way you think it would.

Nope, no mirror symmetry on the door. You were right though about it being a Superfly render, but as you can see here, Firefly is actually worse.

Just a quick question about the stable doors to the stalls. Are they supposed to be a two part door, with upper and lower sections that can be shown open or closed ? If so..it seems you'll need 4 sets of hinges, not 3 as shown, 2 for the top and 2 for the bottom

That's not the proper door for the stall. BOTH those doors are for the tack room. I imported the extra to see if there was a difference in how they rendered.
