3D cue

[Solartje]

hya,

fooled abit around on autocad, and made these. If some still remember an old post where some people might pay for a 3d drawing of a future poolcue. not trying to sell these or anything yet just wondering if they are of good or almost enough quality for people to maybe be interested in paying a small fee for this work? this is just quick autocad rendering with crappy maps and resized to fit in this post, i could render it later all in 3ds in very high quality, the finishing of the cue, backgrounds, fogyblur, lights etc etc..., but dont got it on this pc installed. I need my other pc for that. so the quality will become better. this is just a checkup drawing, to see if im getting in the neighbourheid of doing this for others for a small fee.

greats from solly.

Very cool, You just might have some thing Good. I think the quality is good now, and you said you can make it better, sweet. I guess I would pay a little to have it done if I needed it.

Looks like a Mcdermott

Just for reference, here is a link to a previous thread I posted.

It includes the model and allows you to map it with whatever textures/materials you want for the cue and it will render it.

The .obj model which is included can be used in practically any 3d program.

hehe , no its one of my own designs. the veneers and point wood etc arent the right one's yet, but the design is close to what my next custom would look like. exept the veneers would be coco,ebony with coco or emboya burl points. the wrap will be smooth leather as i dont like to feel to much texture when i hold my cue. the buttwindow is maple veneer, coco or burl window and a holy window or so. no idea yet. i cant use ivory as it wouldnt be shipable to europe then..

the blender prog is cool, but if u would change the design (from for example 4 pts to 6high and 6 low points... unless u know how to draw in 3d, ur kinda screwed. or if u want persenolised inlays..) ah well, ill change my pics a bit later when i got time to find my other pc and we'll see then.

i could make a compostition of different pics and safe it in a high resolution poster format, so u can print it in any good printingshop in big size paper and hang it in your home-poolhall with all the pics, details , weight, dimensions,etc.. i know i will do this for all my cue's, and hang it on my wall.

i never gave a thought about fee's, so how does this sound? i dont want to be exploiting people here, are make a living of it, but it takes time to construct all the points, windows etc so they align exactly are straight etc, and i just want something back for the time i invest in drawing it.

how about:
basic cue (wrap or wrapless, max 4 points and 2 veneers, basic ring) : 20$ + 5$ for changes made afterwards in material choice etc.
medium cue (wrap or wrapless, max 8 points and 4 veneers, medium ringwork and butt inlays): 30$ + 5$ for changes made afterwards in material choice and inlays-
advanced cue (wrap or wrapless, any design in forearm and butt, complicated inlays and ringwork, etc): 40$ + 10$ for any changes mader afterwards in inlays, veneers, points, etc..

the prices include as many pictures as you want, for an extra 10$ u could get the poster idea i talked about earlyer that will be made in fotoshop and will be pritty sweet

this is just an idea, and is fair seeing the amount of time that is needed to draw the cue's. does this sound anything fair?
