    Oh, wow!  I love the textures on that.  Looks like a great model.

    And some flies in a fly box. Flies are built with the will be included Fly Construction Kit, almost endless combinations.

    That looks very good. Just two observations though.

    1) The hook eye on some of them is too bog and shouldn't be a complete circle.

    2) The body stops too short of the eye on some

    The top left and bottom right ones in the left panel and most of the ones in the right panel look right though :)

    Yes, thats one of the models having a "fat body and round hook loop", mostly becuase .there was one like that, lol. it's more to be used as a pupa, not fly, but I did play with some colors on it. The others two bodies are more fly bodies, I haven't done s many presets yet, just played a around. Thanks for some valid points (things you see if you are very used to look atr flies.

    The ring eye is used on some lures but the general hook used is the down eye.

    Material proportions are also required to get the fly to 'look' right to the eye.

    They don't have to be perfectly tied flies but they do have to look right :)

  • TotteTotte Posts: 13,975

    thanks for this links ;-)
     

    I saw a few with up eye but I will add two more down eyes base flies , and the propotion map was brilliant (why didn't I find that) 

    I did a few changes (furry stuff is difficult to keep looking good while not eating all resurces while rendering, it's a delicate balance.

    Up eye hooks are generally used more for dry fly or Atlantic Salmon style flies. Here is a general set of hook styles.

    Not everyone uses up eye for dry flies though, I don't, but Atlantic Salmon fly hooks are usually up eyed.

    OK, so I think I add a twin hook  ( have a few flies like that that I've used together with a floater ball (just tied to the end of the ball in a 4 feet line) and one with hook point to the side (I have used that kind of hooks for angling when I was young and also with my kids and for some reason the work very well once something has taken a bite, keeps them hooked better.

    Sorry to inform you but the Fly Fishing set it put on hold.

  • FishtalesFishtales Posts: 6,119

    Bummer. There are nearly 50 million flyfishermen in the USA alone, some of whom may do 3D art, who would have liked this. I hope you can continue with it again at some point.

    That would make a wonderful hunters camp.

  • LinwellyLinwelly Posts: 5,947

    Oh lovely Totte! Those different wood structures look really good, the thatch on the shed is looking a bit odd though, not sure what its supposed to be.

    I'm playing with that grass roof, haven't really settled sizes and colors yet, supposed to be grass, might drop it, I made those laying down grass clumps and tried to find a use for them ;-)

    make those a bit longer thicker and more yellow whiteish probably a bit more leaf like (flat), that could looka a little more like instant thatch ( in contrast to pro thatch on a real roof)

    Good point, that was what I wanted, (someone stuck grass in the roof to protect it from water and snow. Nothing "fancy" made by a real thatcher ;-)

    Yes I think thicker is better.

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,548

    Yellower and thicker definitely looks like the thatch that I picture when I think of a thatch roof.

  • TangoAlphaTangoAlpha Posts: 4,584

    Thatch'll really only be yellow for a few months - it goes grey pretty quickly. Most thatched roofs are a darkish grey, unless they've very recently been replaced. (lots of thatched roofs around here.)

    I remember the first time I saw Lord of the Rings and thinking how rediculous it looked that the entire of Hobbiton had just been freshly thatched (and even more rediculous that when they returned a year later, it was still yellow!) ​

     

    Now that pale green . . . it could easily be grass or silage. I don't know that it'd be particularly waterproof, but it does look the part.

    That's what material settings are for ;-) Thanks for commenting mate.

    That's really interesting I had no idea they turned gray. It blows my mind that they still have thatched roofs. (its not something I have ever seen in the US which makes it even cool)

    Oh. I thought that it had a sod roof, and the grass was alive and growing.
