I've started a new scene yesterday. It's a simple scene. I found a tap photo in my archive and started to recreate it.
The modeling part doesn't look difficult.

Just I've a sharp edge problem. Any advice to fix it?

The hard part of this scene for me is to make textures of the tap.
I'll start texturing tomorrow and hope to finish in a few days.

I used Stamp Tool (in photoshop) to brush the tap and wood part of original image to get the background:

With a quick light setup untextured render of image:

:eek: oh s*it!

seems that i made a BIIIG MISTAKE when i categorizing my archive. :surprised :surprised
it looks like a photo.
thanks for the quick correction.


but it doesn't mean that i'm not recreating a tap.
Now the conditions changed: I'm recreating a cg tap :)

Does life imitate art or does art imitate life? Really interesting mistake. I hope you go ahead and finish. Best to you.

Your model looks very good. The only thing I can see is that the bottom pipe/hose looks like there is a clamp that attaches it to the Tap, that I don't see on your model.

Excellent job, and looking forward to seeing the textured version.

That's funny. I was going to say that the photo is out of focus. There's one way to add a little photorealism. ;)

Nice modeling so far... But you must remember: There is no tap (like there is no spoon)...

so you are faking a fake.

one thing you can do is to click make editable for your hyper nurbs this will give you pure polys so your textruing will be easier. of course then you have a heavy picture. but I think you will live, this isnt a animation after all.
