Description

These corner columns are meant to organically connect convex cave walls in the set. My custom Stony Cave set is designed to work with the OpenForge 2.0 system. I've avoided added explicit grid-markers to help ensure that the realistic and natural vibe of a cavern is maintained, but the edge of each of the floor pieces has a reliable midlevel, so that they can be attached together modularly. The same is true for all wall-segments, so that when painted, the gaps in the walls disappear quite nicely.

This is a work in progress for the time being, and currently only contains corner and mid columns at 2x2 size.

Check out the other Models in my Stony Cave collection:

  • Stony Cave - Floors
  • Stony Cave - Walls
  • Stony Cave - Corners
  • Stony Cave - Angled Walls

I strongly urge you to check out @devonjones's work if you haven't already. I'm just adding to the options of this great system to increase flexibility :)

 

Post-Printing

I've designed these tiles to work with the OpenForge system, so I'd advise following the standard process for printing and mounting these on bases that match the indicated size of the pieces you print.

 

How I Designed This

I love working with Blender for modeling, and I've been working on creating detailed procedural displacement textures to use for 3D printing. My plan is to generate the textures for this entire Cave System, such that I can imitate the natural patterns/structure of real caves. If this works well, I might make a second cave set with a different style/type of stone.

 

Updates

April 11, 2023

Added two more variations in the 2x2 size, with half columns in the middle of the pieces - this is to support end caps for back-to-back walls without having to use two separate corner column tiles.

March 15, 2023

Created 3 variations of corner end caps to enable connection of end-segments of walls or corners - currently print-testing these to make sure they line up nicely/are a good visual fit.
