These are the patterns I scanned from the original 1890's table and used in my project. They are of course hand carved objects with 100 years of wear. For my purposes they were fine as I was matching the original table. But if anyone wants to carve an "antique" feel free to go for it!
Cheers!
Rest of the patterns.
Great scans, did you have to spend a lot of time in pattern editor on these? I have the probe but have yet to use it. A shame, I know. Just have not had the time or need.
It didn't take a lot of time with the pattern editor to clean up the scans...BUT it does depend on how well you set up your scan...and not get a lot of extra area or stuff you don't want...you edit out the background area and blemishes....I found the blending tool useful to clean up the small blemishes and smooth over rough areas.
I did spend a lot of time on one scan trying to make it perfect...only to become aware that a perfectly smooth carve wasn't what I was trying to achieve on the antique table. Try the probe out...it's pretty easy (I DID IT) and with some patience you can edit it to just about anything you want. I did scan in (paint brush and) paint brush bristles, edited the bristles so they actually carve to look like bristles...
Thank you for sharing your patterns and nice job on the table's .
