That is fine, really good.
but how long did you say it had been abadoned?

cause, right now i does not look like it’s been abadoned for a long time, maybe you shold make things less perfect? :slight_smile:

Anyhow, great render… looking forward to see finished results

#4

Good work,
here is mine i did a while back when i was a Noob

Keep it up

-EDIT- by the way is it an old SKooL Halfpipe because it has no flat bottom :-?

#5

Those pipes on the ends of the halfpipe, wouldn’t they make you trip and fly off into oblivion when you ride up the side?

#6

Maybe they are a bit to big on my render, but they do exist:

But your right, they are way too big on mine, so I’ll make them smaller. Thanks for the tip.

Nah its not ald skl, so I made the bottom more flat. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hey yea, thats a good point. Actualy, i think im trying to make it so that it is the morning, when no one is in the park, you know?

Thanks for all your replys, expect an update today :slight_smile:

Using the skateboard thats on the halfpipe itself as a refrence, the halfpipe is much to small.

Since a person is about 4 times as big as a skateoard, trying to ride in such a small halfpipe would be a task indeed. :-?

#8

Or maybe the skateboards too big?

#9

Well, that would work, but then the cups would seem large to the board. :wink:

#10

First of all, thanks for all your replies.

okay here’s an update :slight_smile:
I tried to fix the dimensions of the halfpipe, I added a flat bottom. Does it look better?

Please note that the objects are not in their final place, I’m going to place in a different location later on.

C and C please :wink:

Thanks

#11

a floor would be a good addition :wink:

#12

Floors are overrated :wink:

Well, that would work, but then the cups would seem large to the board.

Supersize Mcdonalds. I heard where someone actually drowned in one of them. It’s true. Honest.

#13

hey guys, I started the texturing of the park, and I was wondering how I could texture the halfpipe. Image texture?

I added a floor :stuck_out_tongue:

thanks and bye

#14

Either procedural or uv mapping would be your best bet. Theres a tut on uv mapping at http://blender3d.org/cms/Tutorials.243.0.html#819

#15

Okay, here’s my first go at materials. You can see that I suck at it!

Thanks for any comments and critiques.

And with edge settings:

BTW, what do you like better, with or without edges?

Thanks,
Alex

#16

Change the spec settings on the halfpipe and other materials that don’t have spec in real life

#17

Are you going for a cartoony look? If not I would definitely remove the edges

#18

The halfpipe looks rather thick and too smooth.
Those corners should be more edgy.
And the distance between the sides is too small.
A half pipe should have a flat middle of about 2.5 to 3 meters.
Also, they usually use a lighter type of wood.
