I have made two versions for this tutorial, use the one you like best.

Version 1:

Steps:
1. Create an image with the size of 640*480.

2. Render the Render -> Hexagonal Grid with it's default settings.



3. Apply the Stylize - Outline effect with the default settings.



4. Apply the Photo - Glow effect with the default settings.



5. Now start Render - Shape3D.
- In the texture map list, select Plane Map (Scaleable).
- Set the texture Scale to 0,700.
- Turn antialias on with AA level 5.



The result:

Thanks for reading, i've planned this tutorial for a long time now and i'm really happy with it.
I hope you'll find it usefull.
If there's something this tutorial miss or I should've explained better, please tell me.

Thanks to Welshblue for giving ideas for the second version and thanks to david.atwell for fixing some spelling.

Nice idea.

If you use a thicker line width on the hex' ... you can always run the stitch plug-in to make it look more

*edit: maybe bevel selection could make the panels stand out more ?

[kake_fisk]

Thats a really nice ball, i like it.
Thanks for using my tutorial.

I'll look at your suggestions and see if i can put them into the tutorial.

Nice tut, good idea too. However, i think this needs expansion, like the suggestions welsblue mentioned. Then it'll be a great tut.

I'd also edit the title so it say "football" not "fotball".

[Chris_Rulez]

On the shape 3D part, When I change the Texture Scale to 0,700, It changes back to 5.000 and makes it look like a pool ball, ???

Edit: Oh nevermind, On your version it is 0,700 on mine its 0.700, Well nice tutorial, I'll post my result when I finish

[LFC4EVER]

It might be the fact you changed it to "0,700" not "0.700" (notice the comma and the decimal point).
If not, then i don't know.

Fixed spelling. Added clarification for American users.

No biggy but you missed out the typo at the start of the post...Where it says "Fotball" instead of "Football"

Good point. :-) Done.

[kake_fisk]

Okay, i've added a version 2, what do you guys think of it?
I think it looks better.

Thanks to Welshblue for the idea and inspiring me.

No worries. I liked the idea and am using it to make some good footballs (IMO )
I think your biggest thanks should go to david.atwell for not locking this, and making the changes :wink:

This is sorta breaking rules 5a and 6 in the tut guidelines

[dragonmaker132]

nice tut. out there.!

[wiirus]

Wow! Great tutorial!
That's my try:

(A bit different)
And That's how I used it:

A screenshot from Toribash, mainly a fighting game but with a mod:
Before:

And after:


Yes, the light is a bit wrong, but it looks much better than the blue ball!

Again, great tutorial!

[kake_fisk]

Thanks everybody for the feedback.
And nice ball there wiirus.

This is sorta breaking rules 5a and 6 in the tut guidelines

I don't feel I break any of these.
Firstly I was not in rush, I took me good time to write and make this.
But it must be a little difference to play with effects and make a fotball?
I didn't just play with some effects, it was delibirated.

Nice idea.

If you use a thicker line width on the hex' ... you can always run the stitch plug-in to make it look more

I like the way you put the grass in, how did you do that? But I see that if you put in the black patches BEFORE using stitch/frosted glass, you dont see those annoying white lines in the patches.
Other wise, job well done!

[welshblue]

@ Litl-Lol95 ... I made the grass using Oma's Palm Leaf tut Click Lots of layers and blurs :wink:

The ball was a quick job to show the tut author what else you could do.
Thanks
