this has been mentioned many times in the blog. I would advise you to go back a couple of pages and take a look. you will learn a lot. 1. the pieces you are building together, are separated 2. I have a 48-sided cylinder in this case, so my box can fit in between the segments. This will automatically act as a supporting…
Anyone know where I can find those SATHE tutorials without getting linked to porn sites? It's the one linked on page 6 that's now unavailable. Let me know, thanks!
With mutiple rings moving inwards like that you can optimize as you get away from the edge as well. So 24 on the outer ring reduces to 12 in the middle reduces to 6 in the center ...
That makes a lot of sense then, but then lets say, for example, my post with the two intersecting tubes, if I made one 8 sides, and one 6 I could then mix them with no problem, if that a correct example?
The second one one the left is kinda easy too(at least in max) 1.Make geosphere icosaeder with 2 segments 2.Select all verts and save selection 3.Tesselate once 4.load vert selection and invert it 5.Turn every invisible Edge (6.Chamfer all edges a little bit if needed) And the first one on the right is kinda easy too: 1.…
Ok back on track, Bitmap, I seem to recall you doing a tutorial on making a hex-nut. If it wasn't you it certainly was someone using Modo. I'm making a hex nut now and am having troubles cutting the circle into the middle of a 6 sided hexagon. Should I start with the circle first and then harden 6 sides on the outside? ref…
4 quick steps: A. Make 6 sided cylinder B. Bevel/inset Top/Bottom faces C. Select and Bevel 6 edge loops(at once, of course) D Loop slice, with 2 symmetric loops And another one for fun, turn a cylinder into a hexagon. A. Create 18 sided cylinder with 3 segments, scale to desired proportions B. Select every other third…
