That did carve nicely. Great work. I will be purchasing that one for sure!
I like dragons and this is one that I'll have to add to my collection. Great job Oscar.
dbemus, Sharon,
Thank you for the kind comments.
Very nice Oscar.
It is one one should have.
OMG Oscar you're getting better and better! That is a wonderful pattern!
Suzanne, thank you. It still feels like I have a ways to go but I am way further along than when I started.
I've been focusing on learning techniques for architectural scroll figure modeling. I got a little lucky on this one.
Here is my latest effort. I still have to carve it to see how well it carves but I think it should carve well.
Post script: Good thing I posted it before I carved it (I really do need that sign about measuring twic and cutting once).
After looking at it I realized I had missed an element on the left side. I failed to mirror the figure correctly while I was modeling. It was a 30 second fix. Duplicated right side element, mirrored on x axis and then moved to left side position.
Pattern carved out real well. I also completed a second architectural leaf pattern and test carved it as well. It also carved well. I can tell the bit is starting to get dull.
For fun I slapped a few of the patterns together to see what I could get from them.
I still have 3 or 4 more architectural elements to build that can be used as building blocks to create a larger design.

On the actual carving it looks like you missed a detail during creation. It is a nice pattern though.
Norm, goes back to the measure twic and cut once. I grabbed the wrong pattern from my library. If you look at the notional design I posted you will see the pattern is fixed. I missed mirroring two elements when I was modeling the pattern. It was an easy fix and the elements are the same in the carving so this test carve is good enough to show me the pattern carves fine. I have deleted the wrong pattern so I'll have to be more creative to mess it up next time. :)
Oscarl48,
Those did turn out great, very impressive.
Gary thank you. They were fun to make.
Okay, last one in this series. I may come back to this in the future but burning out on architectural elements. I still have to test carve it and see how it looks. I am a little concerned on capturing all the wing detail. I am optimizing at 8 inches across so if I drop it down to 6 or 5 inches it may be okay.
Another very nice one!
Beautiful work! Hope to see it in the Pattern depot.
Thank you. We'll have to see how it carves this weekend. It may require a little tweaking before submitting.
I did the 3d model in the worst possible way of doing it. It has over 3 million vertices. No overall strategy on building the model which is always a bad way of doing things.
The first three patterns in the series have been submitted for consideration to the pattern depot.
I did have to tweak the 3d model a bit (a lot) but in the end I am really pleased with the pattern that came out. The carving was done in 7in x 10in. I did lose some of the detail with the 1/16 bit but I still like the final carving. I'll upload the pattern on Monday for consideration by the CW staff.
I'll be test carving this this weekend if the weather holds. Multi-tasking patterns. I was working on a knight when the discussion of the Pegasus came up so thought it was the perfect model for that. I had only gotten as far as modeling the horse so just added the wings.
Apr 17, 2016 update: Got a little bit of carving in today. Test carved the Pegasus and I think it came out good. Submitting to the pattern store.
I wish all my models came out like this on the first go round. From the first to the last it just flowed and I am super happy with the end result. I'll carve this weekend but I don't see anything that should be an issue.
Update: Carved the pattern. Really pleased with the outcome. It was carved at .4, small draft and bit optimization to best.
I am still unpacking and my shop is still not set up but I can't stay away from 3d modeling for too long. Its not an addiction!
After I get my CW set up (hopefully within two weekends) I'll test carve to ensure no issue with the pattern but at least from the computer screen I am super pleased with it. You should hopefully be seeing it in the pattern depot in a few weeks. You can add other piece parts for additional cool patterns.
Already have my next model picked. A fancy fleur de lis. I'll have to see how that carves because it will be fancy and intricate.
Happy 4th of July to all.
-Oscar
Oscar, I really like your eagle. Look forward to seeing what you do with the fleur de lis.
Sharon, thanks. Here is the first draft of the pattern. I still have to tweak the height on a few bits and smooth out the mesh in a few areas but pretty much done. I'm still looking to see if adding little bits and pieces add anything to the pattern.
Oh! Oscar, you out did yourself on that one. That is going to be one beautiful carving.
Sharon, finally got my CW up and running. In the move I somehow ripped my dust collector bag but a new one arrived yesterday so I was finally able to do some carving.
The pattern carved pretty good but I would recommend a larger and deeper carve to show the detail if anyone ever does get it.
The architectural eagle came out pretty much the way I thought it would.
The eagle head was on the money on what I was going for. I went back and forth on whether to throw it into the depot since there are several good ones in there already but what the heck. I guess there will be options if anyone ever is looking for one.
Oscar,
All 3 carves came out really nice. good job.
Mike
Mike, Thanks.
John, They were all submitted. May take a few days for them to go live.
Still practicing my sculpting but I think the pattern came out decent. I'll test carve tomorrow to make sure nothing wrong with it but some ideas for the artistically gifted out there with paint.
If I can ever figure out how to install the bas relief code into blender I may try to rig and pose the model for some action shots.
Hint..hint...for the blender users. Once you have a 3d model you can articulate it to get different poses and angles for different patterns.
Oscar,
Stellar craftsmanship on the patterns.
WOW Oscar I'm impressed. Your modeling is getting better and better!
Robert, Suzanne, thank you both.
If anyone ever wants to buy it, as always please download to test if the pattern will work for you before actually purchasing. From the test carve I can see it wants to be a larger carving project.
Oscar,
I agree with everyone else, your getting better with every pattern...
Gary
Gary, thank you for the kind words. Still feel like a newbie. Every time I open the software I learn something new.
Really pleased with this pattern. Test carved in oak so details are a bit hard to make it on the picture. The picture does not do the carving justice. First one is a corner block and the second is done as an applique to glue on a larger piece. I'll throw both in the pattern depot.
Also with Halloween around the corner I'm starting to get some practice in. Made a demon bicorn for my personal library.
I'm sure I will have more demon clowns this year again as we get closer to the holiday. scarrryyyy.
P.S. Stained the corner block colonial maple and three coats of lacquer. The detail shows up a little better. I should mention it was carved 5"x5" and .5 deep on normal. It was under an hour carve. Oak is a great material but it is not a great carving wood I am seeing. I just didn't have a piece of black walnut that was wide enough and I was too inpatient to glue up a board. Cherry would be another good choice with a dark stain.
Very impressive work!!! Thanks for sharing!
What is your store name?
I have looked for Oscar and couldn't find it.
John,
I just realized I don't think I have ever added my store name to the search words. My vendor name is OLG WoodWorks and OLG WoodArt but I did a quick search for them and only my Pike comes up. But I am the last vendor if you bring up the vendor page (at least when I look).
Oscar
The hops and vines thread inspired me to try my hand at creating a related pattern. I am a huge fan of the vectorart3d art. Usually I am drooling at the skill and composition of their patterns but for some reason their hops and vine patterns didn't really call to me. So wanted to build something more in line with my tastes. I still have to test carve to ensure there are no issues.
P.S. Finished the test carve. Carved pattern at 7in x 6in at .25 depth 100 height on normal which took 29 min. Will recommend adding a small draft if carving this small or smaller. Will submit today.
Cleaning out my folders and found this pattern I built for a friend. Throwing it into the depot.
Another batch of patterns going into the depot. Did a batch test carve. The antlers have to be softened a bit since I did have a little bit of tear out at the ends. Otherwise good to go.
From left to right: communion cup, champagne and flutes, modern camera, modern tractor, running deer, off road tire. The board is 7"x24" for comparison.
