I have need of a carpet sweeper. I found one at Turbosquid but it's way too expensive for me. If anyone has come across another reasonably priced/free one' I'd greatly appreciate a link.

    Have started. Modelled the body and the handle (except where the 3 sections can separate). Next need to model 4 wheels, dirt collector trays and the brush. After that it's the small matter of transfer to obj, surface allocation, Tex mapping, into DS, rigging and then creating the installation zip. Regards, Richard.

    Please forgive me for taking so long with this little sweeper. For some reason I had to re-mesh part of the top of the body by hand. A number of the facets weren't playing nicely and you could see distortions in the rendered result. 

    I have now modelled all the parts and have Tex mapped them, brought the individual parts into DS and applied materials. This is shown in the two attached renders. Now I have the bits as separate models, I need to combine them into one so I can import back into DS for the rigging.

    Too tired today, tomorrow I have a big meeting with a customer and I will be too tired to do anything after getting home. So, I hope to do it Tuesday or Wednesday.

    The plan is to have the two dust cups pivot around the wheel shaft, the brush bar has 10 brushes and will rig it to rotate with the wheels. The handle will be rigged to rotate fore and aft, and I'll add a handle length morph.

    Regards,

    Richard.
