Getting to that top shelf! (^^,)

Yes!! We're getting there peoples!!

Yesterday I got to work on the top shelf. Only did a handful of covers, then the weather came rumbling and I had to shut down for the evening (I need to rest too you know, lol). So anyway, yesterday's few, with today's current progress, brings it to 23 covers!!! The green book 3rd from the left doesn't count, because it's not UV'ed yet; still as cubular as ever, LOL.

The below shows how the medium book looks like in 3DView with flat shading. As you can see the title sits nice and snug.

Music progress 006-007 and a close-up!

Progress 006 - Bookshelf added with books and some ornaments.

Obviously the golden spheres are not good enough as ornaments throughout the shelves in such a huge number, so I threw some out and added some abstract birds (that translates as 'looks like something else', lol).

It was also the first real attempt at UV texturing. What it is is what you would use to paint onto a 3D shape. You unwrap your object as if it was made out of fabric so it lays out flat, then you paint over those folds. The ...
