Texture rollers too expensive to print? Can't find the texture you want on Etsy or from the Green Stuff World Rolling Pins collection? Well, why not try making your own terrain roller? I did, and these rock walls turned out aaaaall right!
Also, I took a quick break from the puns on this one, but they won't be gone for long!

What a nice way to make your own rollers, and a great tutorial! With this, everyone can make the rollers they watn to their walls and floors. Rocks, hexagonal panels for spaceship, roads...

Yes! That's definitely the goal. I'm probably going to try something with more exact patterns next to see how that fairs.

I created dioramas, scenery, buildings, etc. for many years in 1/32, 1/18 and 1/6 scales. Used a ton of Sculpey, and that wasn't even my go-to. One thing I learned early on with Sculpey is that baking had more limitations than benefits. Once I tried this technique, I never baked it again. Boil it. You get way more control and it doesn't burn.

@raecheldoes 4 месяца назад

Oh that's an awesome tip! I will definitely give this a try!

@HistoryOnTheLoose 4 месяца назад

@@raecheldoes you're quite welcome. Speaking of tips, boiling allows pieces with varying thicknesses to harden without burn damage. Like a Pinochio head, for example. If baked, the long nose will burn before the head is done. Boiling eliminates that.

Yep he's a bigger brush for washing. Tip use a ticket brush for dry brushing. If you'd like to do 30 piles you might like to not spend 3 hours doing them then you can use a bigger brush. I believe it or not you can get circular Strokes for the bigger brush.

I few days ago, I was commenting on a Summon Lesser Maker video, about styling a "The Floor is Lava" battle plan in Mordheim as "The Floor is *Rats".* Very "A Plague Tale" kind of narrative, where the ground is covered in rats, that both players need to avoid during the battle. And I thought "this is where a rat texture roller would be useful". A roller for creating a dense carpet of rodents. In practice, you'd use it to create rat swarms, that might in turn be used to represent larger masses of rats. I imagine sculpting some little rats, with wire tails, would make for good "stamps" for quickly creating the roller.

@raecheldoes 4 месяца назад

Now THAT would be taking this to the next level. I've definitely seen skull rollers but never rats. You may be on to something here...

@MrToadyodymo 4 месяца назад

I ended up designing my own texture rollers after being disappointed with the ones online. They primarily use textures meant for videogames and VFX which dont translate well to real life so make sure if you buy any files that they have some photos of it in use and not just renders. You can actually print most of these just fine in fdm which should be much cheaper, at a 1.5 mm layer height you can only make out the layer lines on very, very thin clay.

@TomJones0065 4 месяца назад

OH WOW< This is Amazing, I have bought some of them SO CALLED Texture rollers off of Etsy, JUNK. And I had found out form 2 sellers.. they were the SAME SELLER! SCAMED! And they were both JUNK, NO details, and they would not refund my money. SO This is a GREAT IDEA! I am making one or 2 or 3 of these! A soon as MY REDO on my craft room is done THIS IS AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH! BIG BIG HUGSS!!!

@raecheldoes 4 месяца назад

That sounds like a really frustrating experience :/ I've been hesitant to try purchasing them myself, so I figured I would try my hand at making them and it turned out! I'm happy to provide inspiration and I really hope it goes well 😊 Good luck with your craft room redo!

@Mara999 4 месяца назад

Ooh, that looks great! I'm also not ready to invest in a 3D-printer, while in general being too financially challenged for the high-end stuff. I had thought about maybe carving a pattern onto a wooden rolling-pin, but this looks easier and likely better.

@spacecentergames 4 месяца назад

I'd wrap the handle first, then press the rocks 🪨

@raecheldoes 4 месяца назад

This is actually what I tried at first, but making the impressions after wrapping the clay expands and warps much beyond the circumference of the handle. I also found it was much more difficult to make clear and even impressions on the rounded surface than when the clay was laid flat. It could definitely be a skills-on-my-part issue though!

@spacecentergames 4 месяца назад

@@raecheldoes I wonder if a light bake would firm it a little, but still allow for good impressions? Anyway, I enjoy your channel and appreciate your sharing the processes 👍

@joek600 4 месяца назад

@@spacecentergames No even a light baking will turn the polymer into plastic, only more soft and mushy, but it wont take impressions. An alternative could be epoxy putty, something like Miliput that is relatively cheap. You can wrap the handle let it set for about 20-30 min depending on the temperature of the room, and then go in with the impressions.

How thick is the silicone layer you're putting on walls for texture? I'm wondering if you could stick underneath some thin steel wire so you get to stick magnetic accesories on it?

Oooh the silicone is not very thick so that would be entirely doable. Either strips of nickel or the wire would work well.

In these terrain crafting videos I keep hearing about mod podge, but as I live in a non-english-speaking country, I have no idea what to look for in crafting stores. What it actually is? What is it made out of? I live in Czechia, so I need to be able to translate it correctly. Is it like a paper glue?

@raecheldoes 4 месяца назад

As far as I understand, Mod Podge is a PVA-based medium with resin in it. The main thing is that it's a thicker adhesive that doesn't shrink and dries hard which is why it's so great for this craft. Depending on the application, you can still use tacky glue/PVA glue for gluing things together. As far as sealing goes, maybe a simple matte medium or a foam-safe spray sealant? Black magic craft I think has some videos on it. Hope that helps!

@raecheldoes 4 месяца назад

Thank you, thank you! I saw a few videos advocating texture palettes since the bumpier surface helps to encourage paint off of the brush for better dry-brushing overall. I thought what better use for old sprues that a diy texture palette! I'll probably continue to add to it over time.

@@raecheldoes We used to make texture boards when i was in the art school, texture drybrush boards are basically the same thing only less artsy fartsy and more utilitarian. We made them out of Wall filler painted over with acrylic. A thin hair comb can make some nice texture lines but you can really use anything to stamp interesting textured lines, from aluminum foil balls to stones and low grade sandpaper. A coat of black primer and you are good to go.

Why wouldn’t you roll the clay onto the round wood piece and then stamp the rocks onto the already premade roller?

I did give this a try but the stamping stretches the clay so that it no longer hugs the handle nicely and the rocks are harder to press down on a non-flat surface.
