**The Thatchby Oak** 3dsmax |Corona Renderer | Forest Pack | Poliigon | Photoshop Another project behind 😉 This time, the biggest challenge was the thatched roof, typical of British architecture. Hope to hear from you guys- how did I manage to make it work? This project was made in cooperation with architect Ralph Kent from the UK. ![1](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/4X/6/b/7/6b7a007a5d3bb68fe0c687c3553e891ec3fabb98.jpeg) ![4](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/4X/8/5/3/85384a112208b2a918ce90685b0c2f4768fe9461.jpeg) ![4 SUNSET](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/4X/f/f/b/ffb2adcb4de0b409a615db8dffc3a4624a1a369b.jpeg) ![3](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/4X/7/f/d/7fd021244906782ccd96e6766d4406d7cf929792.jpeg) ![2](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/4X/f/1/2/f12cc30a4ed34efd9974a641f49196cf6e86ffb4.jpeg) ![2 SUNSET](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/chaosprd/original/4X/9/f/b/9fb4b79dd3457bb4c074e6b8d0ed6c32c7c2e6b2.jpeg) ---

Well done! The roof turned out great. Almost 100% of my roofs are American asphalt shingles - boring! ---

Really nice.. I really like the lighting. About thatched roofs…wow.. I’ve learned something..never had to create one… before make a research I thought they were too shaped…but actually they’re like you did… good job!! ---

It’s great to see something very different from the usual and you did a great job. I’m guessing the thatch is fur, though I guess it could be FP. ---

uhmm.. if I had to do it…I think that I’ll try before with a displacement…just because I suppose it’s easier to model the thickness… but let’s see his reply. ---

I thought about displacement but I went with fur due to how it’s being shaded…looks very much like a hair shader to me but could be wrong 🙂 ---

I am also curious how the roof was made! ---

Hmm, I changed my mind. I think the clue was in the post…Poliigon, so I’d assume it’s this [https://www.poliigon.com/texture/norfolk-reed-thatched-roof-texture/10910](https://www.poliigon.com/texture/norfolk-reed-thatched-roof-texture/10910) ---

Nice job on the thatched roof. I’ve had my fair share of those, always a challenge to make them look real. Tried displacement, but in the end I settled for unwrapping and Forest Pack, but that was a while ago and yours looks a lot better.
