Yes, fellow Brycians, lend me your ears, your modelling skills, and your permission to use your hard work in this month's challenge. I need swiss cheese! i want it to be rounded at the corners and i want small rounded holes in it. those of you with better booleaning skills than i will understand. and yeah... i can't boolean to save my life on this one. thanks, if you could, please, thanks, a thick and tall triangular slice of swiss cheese! danke drac

S'not bad guv, but Oi think it needs t'be a l'il bit paler in colour. More yellowish-like.

Are you sure you couldn't use a nice hunk of kasu marsu instead? It's more fun to model all the little maggots.

Incidentally, those holes are technically called "eyes," and the proper Swiss name for the cheese is Emmentaler (also spelled Emmental or Emmenthaler). Appenzellar and Tilsiter also has eyes. Just my 0.02 worth :) LOL

Anyone have a mouse trap?
Sorry couldn't help myself.

ducks

That looks excellent, danamo!!

Thank you Ardiva. I ran and did a quicky wedge shape in Wings, beveled the corners a few times, imported it into Bryce and booleaned it with Bryce primitive spheres. Then I stole AS's cheese texture, which makes me pretty cheesey as well,lol.

That's why it's there, lol. AS

LOL AS. Why am I not suprised it was you who supplied the trap?
Great works of cheese by all. You actually made me hungry. :D

weeee! cheese!

bryce and wings. Blurry reflections and blurry transmissions on, cheese material is 25% transparent, 5% reflective, and 85% diffuse. Shadows disabled, lit with a clump of 13 lights with no shadows.

Render time was 27 minutes, I'm setting up a shadow version to render overnight, it's giving me 6 hours on the clock...i'm hoping for faster shadow rendering in bryce 6?!
:)

Oh and the "end grain" wood texture was made from a mixed'n'matched bundle of wood textures grabbed from lemog's texture site, which can be found here. (scroll down to get to the textures section)

It's very nice 2048x2048 texture, but I can't really post it because it's based of his textures.

Very nice!! BTW, who cut the cheese? ;) Had to ask.

Drac, you don't need cheese, you're cheesy enough already. :D Later, bro.

Very nice max! Though I think the cheese is a bit too transparent.

Very cool render Max! It almost looks like you have some SSS going on there in the cheese.

oh but I do!

here tis with shadows, ur right, cheese is too transparent

Ya know, I can just see Drac with a VERY cheesy grin on his face watching from the sidelines on this thread seeing what he can make us do....... Marc (Watching Drac for next move!) :)

Dangit, there's a site with about a zillion wood mats, and all I can remember is the last name..Lynch..;)

Pak, I believe that's Tony Lynch. He also has some furniture models in the Bryce Freebies. His site is http://www.tonylynchdesigns.com/ *always helpful Dan ;-)

many thanks to all! how did you manage to get that shape out of wings without being hollow inside? drac

Well, mine was only made in Bryce....... :(

see, the problem was that i could make it in wings, but i couldn't make the holes in it because when i booleaned them out, you could see the holes inside. like the obj or 3ds is empty inside and it just cut out cylinders instead of carving out spheres. get what i'm saying? how did you manage to do it? :)

When you first import it, open the smooth dialog and make sure "treat as solid object when booleaned" or w/e is checked. Then set it to positive and off you go!

oh YAY!

thanks..just couldn't remember if it was Andy, Tony, or Anthony..;) didn't want to steer ya wrong..;)

Now I can't get Python's "Cheese Shop" sketch out of my head. :^) "It's not much of a cheese shop, really, is it?" "Finest in the district, sir." "And what leads you to that conclusion?" "Well, it's so clean." "Well, it's certainly uncontaminated by cheese."

BTW, Madmax, that's an amazingly realistic render.
