The Stanford Thai Statue

[inkydigit]

Hi Folks, some other bits and bobs I have been tinkering with

A simple Terragen 3 lighting/surface test...

I modified the statue (Stanford ply-Blender/Obj-Terragen TGO!) kindly provided by The Stanford scanning repository - https://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep/

cheers

Nice statue Jason. So I assume the model didn't come with materials? Did you use TG to scatter some of the colors? Might look cool to put it in some early morning Indian setting.

Hi Dorian,
no the model was polys only... It is a lovely model, as are some of the others at Stanford... It would make a lovely centrepiece for sure, but for me it was merely a good object to test what I needed at the time... If I get around to doing other renders with this then I will take up your great suggestion.
thanks for commenting

The surfacing looks good.UV's and textures or procedural?

[choronr]

Fine details and light ...nice job of testing Jason.

Thanks Kadri and Bob... it is all procedural textures on the statue... attached a clip file for you (I saved it in tg2 just to avoid any unnecessary complications)... just connect between your parts shader and the object's surface shader connection... or use for what ever you like, it was a very quick set up...

Oh yeah....as this was created with TG3 some new noise flavours were used, therefore to achieve a similar result, use the TG3 only version here:

So, do you have to convert these files? It's a tar.gz file, and I haven't a clue what that is (zip-like?).

[inkydigit]

tar.gz is just compressed like a zip... try www.7-zip.org/‎; if you can't open them...inside are .ply files, open by importing into blender, then rotate so they are the right way up in blender, click file-export etc...
