Art Gallery

Started working on this to familiarize myself more with 7.6. I figured it would be fun to add sculptures, frames, paintings, etc., as I go. No materials yet.

Hi Joe. Happy to see a TS project.

This looks familiar: viewtopic.php?p=56359#p56359

I like your design with the small rooms inside of the big room and the steps. This setting can be a showcase for your other CG projects. They could be art in this gallery.

Steps! I'll have to use them in the redesign of my similar setting.

Welcome aboard, so far it looks very promising ;)

Thanks for the welcome. I hadn't seen that, but it does look similar. I watched the video, nice work!

Nice work Joe!

[Finis]

Any progress on this?

[joe_7]

A little, been sidetracked with other projects. I started over in 3.2, it's easier for me.

Started over again in TS7 after installing it in a VM so I can remain in the safety of Linux. Still a long way to go. I'd like to replicate this metal sculpture I have hanging on the wall, how might I go about it?

Nice to see truespace running on a Linux !

To reproduce your sculpture, simply paint a plane with the photo of it (make sure the plane's size has the same proportion as the original picture file), put that plane on a locked layer, then draw the shapes over it using truespace's curve tools.

That turned out to be a great idea, thanks. Instead of tracing though I measured the thing and did boolean subtractions, using the photo as a guide. The final result is fairly close, the sculpture has some really thin edges (like 1/32"!), and what appear to be relief cuts (presumably to allow for expansion/contraction), but I made the edges a bit thicker.

Having this in Linux is awesome. D3D was a no-go but at least the software driver works. No problems except that the rendering options always reset themselves, so no AA, etc., but I can deal. Starting to like TS7 better as I become more accustomed to it.
