How would i model a bail like this?
Depends on how detailed you want to go. You likely know to start with a cylinder and that you can use materials/textures for the hay, but are you asking how to model all those sprouting bits as well?
could use particules hair to do it !

I would start with a cylinder and some hair.
I guess I should have scrolled down before answering…
strawbail1.blend (536 KB)
here is beginning of file with a cylinder and some hair
change hair qty to 3 or 5000 to get a better look and then begin to edit and comb the hair
but also depends how realist you want it
you could model and object like one straw piece then use it as object for hair !
i tried particules only and use an object
but cannot make it follow faces all around
anyone can show how to use thes object all around?

thanks I’ll try the hair idea.
could define a model with many branches may be and use this as an object for hair
that might give a better feeling to it !
show us what you do

add some colors to it and good light set up
beginning to look like it !

You seem to be heading in the right direction.
increase resolution images are a little blurred!
looking nice
did you use the brush to comb the stars for hair particules?

looks nice. seems very fluffy. Also there are no specular highlights on your shader and dried out hay does reflect light. maybe add a little inconsistency in your mesh.
(RickyBlender) I’ll increase the resolution
(larmannjan) I’ll add specular highlights and a little inconsistency
@larmannjan
strange it loosk blurry again
is it resolution
do you save as PNG
it should be clearer unless you are adding some blurr !
this is done in cycles ?
salutations
sorry i’ll re render it as a JPEG
and its done in blender internal
