I must say right away, this is a simplified way and one of the most popular. Much can be done differently, and something even faster with similar quality, but not the fact that it is easier. I used to do it myself a little differently, but came across the next tutorial (who is good with English, can read it):
www.The123D.COM/TUTORIAL/C4D3/BOOK01.SHTML
(In May 2011 I noticed – no longer plows)
I specially made my lesson like. However, there are some differences, and the location of the functions and some elements has already changed a little
1. We determine the dimensions. The main mistake of beginners is to create a model of a real item "by eye". Especially if there is no experience and the eye is not trained.Easier to do normally right away than then customize. We take, for example, like me, Tomick Mine Read.
(I have the same as here:
+ This cover can be used for texture, for the future)
We measure in all respects: length (it is height), width, thickness, indentation from the edge of the cover to the pages, the thickness of the cover.
I got the following parameters:
Length – 207mm, width – ~ 140mm (a cover is slightly affected, but it is not necessary very much accuracy), the thickness is 42mm
Cover thickness – 3mm, indentation from the edge of the cover to pages – 4mm.
I, for the convenience of modeling, increase this data by 10 times, t.E 2070x1400x420 + 30 + 40
2. For convenience, you can "throw" the silhouette of the book with splashes and/or polygons. However, I prefer to start immediately with boxing.
-= Part a. Cover =-
We make a cube editable (Make Editable. K key on the keyboard) and select three side landfills: upper, lower, right)
Choosing an internal squeezing tool (Extrude Inner. Button I on the keyboard), put the maximum angle> 90 ° (I set 91), as well as the displacement we need (by the thickness of the cover. I have 30) and appoint.
We remove the discharge from the right landfill and leave the central upper and central lower landfills allocated. We go to the “Selection” menu and click “Hide the Non -Faced” (Selection> Hide Unselded).
Choosing the "Connection" tool (Bridge. Button B on the keyboard), check that in the attributes of the tool there is a checkbox) and connect these two polygons (draw a line from the right upper corner of one polygon to the right upper another. Or from the lower to the lower – the main thing is that the line is perpendicular to the landfills / not diagonal)
Then we go to the “Selection” menu and click “Show everything” (Selection> Unhide All). The central training grounds (if any) can be safely deleted on the right
It should be the following:
The cover of the cover is ready
On the original book there is a “excavation” 4mm on the left and the cover (spine) is rounded (,.___ (
We do the same in our model
To do this, go into front views (Front View), select a knife tool (Knife. Button K on the keyboard)/ We are convinced that not a single landfill is allocated, we set in attributes the number of cuts (segments) is equal to three, and the interval is equal, for example, 14 and make a “incision” as in the figure (orientation of the knife on the plane Y-Z)
Then we make another “incision”, horizontal, already on the plane of X-Z. It is necessary to put the checkpoint "segments" (segments), and the number of cuts (segments) is equal to 1
Then we go to the amendments to the points and select the Rectangle Selection Tool. Activated by a gap). Remove in attributes a “highlight only visible elements” (only Select Visible Elements). And move these points to a given position (as in the picture). Add others to be added to the selected elements (pretend) with clamped Shift, and remove the selection with a clamped CTRL. We move only along the axes x and y
Next, we create an object of Hypernurbs and place our cover in it. Then we make a “cut” with a layer according to Y-Z a little to the right of the “excavation” formed by three points. As in the figure
Then we make two similar “cuts” on the right, at the edge of the cover, as in the picture.
It should be approximately the following
In the future, you can correct it Casino Days review if you need it.
Now the cover is from the front -line view should look something like this:
Now we switch to the right and make similarly a pair of identical incisions a little to the right and left crust on the plane X-Y. You can put the number of “incisions” equal to 1 and put the “segments” checkpoint, and then, using the “offset” attribute, make two cuts equivalent from the center (I have 1015 and 1028 meters, as well as -1015 and -1028). It should turn out as in the picture (it is indicated where you need to make cuts).
After all this, the cover looks like this:
This part A (manufacturing of the cover model) ends.
-= Part b. Pages =-
Switch to front view.
Create a rectangular splicen inside the circuit from the cover (I have the dimensions of the rectangular sparkle turned out 1333×359). We make it editing. We also check that the splane has the type "Bezier" (bezier). We highlight the left two points and divide them (Functions> Subdivide. Buttons u and s on the keyboard, in shape). Or just cut the left line of the splash in the middle or add a point, but then the point will need to be adjusted to the center. Move the points as in the drawings
Then we make two incisions on the glue along the center and right edge of the cover of the cover to obtain the appropriate points (again, you can simply add points and fit, but so longer) and adjust the points to the cover. As in the figure
Select the left central point and use soft interpolation on it. To go to the “Structure” menu -> “Ensign of the Plain”, and there we click “Soft interpolation (Structure> Edit Spline> Soft Interporation). Then we adjust the points and interpolation of the left central point (if necessary) as in the figure below
We do similarly on the other side, on the right. We highlight the two most right points, make their unit. Then we select the central right point, dragging it along the X axis a little to the left, and then we do a soft intleilation and adjust. It should turn out like that
Then we go to the right or from above and move the sparine along the z axis to the minus to the edge of the cover (leave the retreat width from the edge of the pages to the edge of the cover the distance we need. I have it 40 -the position of the edge of the cube along the axis z = -1035, the splasen = -995).
We create an object “Squeezing NURBS” (EXTRUDE NURBS), put our splash into it and squeeze out the distance from the center we need (twice the value of the splash shift from the center, T.e. I have it 995*2 = 1950).
It should turn out the following ("I painted" I for convenience)
Now the pages are ready. The textures remained.
-= Part c. Textures. Pages =-
At first, as the simplest, we will make our pages at least a little like pages). Here I will consider two quick texture options. The third-to draw a texture yourself or find it somewhere
a) noise.
We create a texture, put in general attributes a checkpoint “Relief” (BUMP) and in the tabs color/relief in the “Texture” menu (texture) we choose noise (noise). In principle, then the parameters from the color can simply be copyed into the relief (for this you can select both tabs with a clamped shift, and then drag the texture from the color in the relief test field). After that, in both tabs, we click on the image of the noise texture, there in the Shader menu, in the fields “Relative Scale”, for example, 1185%, 22% and 1008% (you can also similar, but with similar ratio to choose the right one). The Global Scale Field is not touching now. We also set the following parameters for the value of colors (Color 1 and Color 2) (you can fit your taste): RGB: 130, 124, 115 for color 1 and RGB: 225, 216, 202 for color 2 (I took the parameters from the article, which is given at the very beginning. However, I myself use a little different. You can determine the necessary yourself). The value of the relief force should not be set very large, within 5-9. I’ll choose 7.
Next, we move the resulting material to our “extruding NURBS” object (Extrude NURBS), click on the icon of the material tag (to the right of the object icon) and in Vlade “Tag” (TAG), put a cubic projection (Projection -> Cubic)
We make a render (I added a white background) and op-pa, almost like a book:
b) gradient.
We create a material with approximately such a gradient and parameters in the attributes of color and relief:
In the tag of the material we put a flat or cylindrical projection (Flat/Cylindrical), and the length y from 3.5 to 4 %
It turns out something like this:
After that we correct the colors, adjust the sliders in the shadeers.
The result for a not too close object is also quite tolerable.
Yu!] So that the book is more realistic can be added to the texture of the displacement (displaceement) with the corresponding box. There you can copy our pages material (noise in this case) or other suitable and set, approximately the following parameters:
Here’s what it turns out:
Of course, you can play with the settings and fit yourself.
-= Part g. Textures. Cover =-
Now we create a texture on the cover.
We look
Cover color – orange. The texture is uneven, slightly granular (noise). From this we will build on
Create the corresponding material. Color-orange/dark orange, relief-noise 3% (approximately). In the settings of the shader of the relief, the total (global) scale (Global Scale) we put 25%. In the tag settings, you can leave the standard design of UVW (Projection: UVW Mapping).
Pay attention, I also slightly corrected the colors of the material for the pages.
We throw our material on the cover (not on Hypernurbs, but on boxing), and then select 9 polygons on top of the cover (as in the picture)
Then we throw the covers from the picture from the picture on top of the selected landfills. It turns out something like this:
This, of course, is not good. Therefore, clamp the button "."(Button"> ", it is" Yu "in the Russian layout) to change the weight of Hypernurbs and stretch. It will turn out like this:
Already better. But the colors do not match.
Now we adjust the color of the texture-picture to the overall color of the cover texture (you can adjust and vice versa).
To do this, you can put the type of mixing type “multiple” (multiply) in the settings of the color attributes, and choose the color between white and orange. I chose the following settings:
3. Forting
The resulting still needs to be brought to mind.
What is standing out with us?! Our crust is the same as the thickness of the cover.
We are engaged in crusting and fitting pages. To do this, switch to the front look and see the following:
Disorder! We lead to the following type:
Now it looks even more noticeably better:
It remains only to make the “corners” normally (diagonal serifs), but this is not necessarily. Almost no one pays attention to them
4. Conclusion
Now apply the texture on the “crust”, where we need to add more DisplaCement, make the “crust” even thinner/thicker, if necessary, add the fabric inside the crust. Voila!
Such a book already in some scenes can be used. It remains only to correct colors and engage in "cosmetics". Success) And for now I’ll go, I will put one of my volumes of Mine Reed 57th year of release back to the bookcase ..
A little later, I may, I will rewrite/add the article and complement it. Now there is simply a trite time and (for now) desires.
For my scene, even such a quality is unnecessary.
Will look something like this:
