Bottles in AOI
« on: April 09, 2007, 03:49:47 AM »
Greetings!

So you are in the middle of some mind blowing 3D environment that you are building to show your uber skillZorz and you think to yourself...

"Holy sweet chocolate Fudge! I cannot go on in my meager existence if I don't have one of Darth's bottles in here! But how did he do them!?"

Allow me to save you the shame of admitting to owning Superman under-roos and show ya how I did these...

Bottles In AOI (freakin' cool echo here)

*Disclaimer: Spelling mistakes, horrid grammar and an out right abuse of the ... is a figment of your imagination. You should rid yourself of all guilt and continue to worship Darth.*

OK Step One: Open AOI (assuming you have it on your system of course)

Now, up there on the menu, find Scene and select "One scene" Like this:
aoi bottles

I also use the grid also on the Scene menu.. don't believe me? Well here ya go:
aoi bottles

Mmmmkay.. If you haven't fallen asleep yet, you should go to the left there and choose that path like tool thingy (see disclaimer above)
aoi bottles

And now, we shall build our path. This can be simple and painless.. believe me, I have only sustained minor injuries in the past while doing this. I blame Jeff Foxworthy.


Mmmmkay so now you have half of a bottle. Good Job! Wewt! You RawxZorz! *ahem* Clickie on one of them fancy tools at the very top... no.. yer not gonna use it but it tells AOI that you IZ done making the path. I dunno why it works so don't ask. Next, To the Tools Menu!
aoi bottles

Then select "ok" and nope, no need to fiddle with those values.. I never do so why would you want to? o.O
aoi bottles

Yipppie!!! Ya done did it!!! *Does that dance that Kermit the Frog does on the Muppets* You should see something like this:
aoi bottles

Now, if you read this tut and do not render your bottle and post it here so I and others can see it.. well, I will come to your house and *thinks* steal all the fridge magnets and mess yer socks drawer... oh yeah I am so bad that way.

Rippers will not die, but they will be strapped to a chair and forced to watch several hours of Teletubbies in Japanese.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

Excellent job, darth!  I like the nice sprinkles of Ren and bit of frivolity thrown in for good measure!  +Karma!

Thanks for putting it together.

ok guys please do not laugh at me....hehehehehe...This is the first time Ive ever used the AOI program...lol...I never could figure out how to render even reading the online manual...I still kept coming up with a black picture even after saving it as a jpg??? So I decided to just print the screen and save it as a jpg that way....2 me mine looks more like a funky pill bottle than a nice cola/water bottle that Darth created....

Hey, Jo!  That's not bad at all!  Now, we need to show you how to texture the thing and add some lights so that you can properly render you 'medicine bottle!'  ;D  I'm gonna work on a basic tutorial describing how to add textures/materials, but for now, if you're interested, you might want to check out my twist tutorial 3D Twist and look at the sections on texturing.  Also, check out the Texture and Materials Chapter of the User Manual Texture and Materials for some additional information.

Cheers!

Well, I don't believe you'll need too much courage.  I'm sure that you'll be able to catch on quite nicely.  Just takes some time.

This was just a test of the Emergency 3D System....it was only a test.....beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!  ;D

I wanted to see if I could make a logo in GIMP and map it to my bottle.  Well, it worked!  Simple, cheesy logo, but it was the experiment that counted.  I used Projection Mapping rather than UV Mapping, which I'm not very good at.  I'm working on a tutorial for basic texturing and I'll include something like this in with it.  Great tutorial, darth!
