Workshop #1 - rebb

rebb

Nice idea with the Workshop .

Here's my progress so far on the shield thingy. Messy looking iso-lines ahoy !

MoP

What is this? rebb, making models?! How rare.
Looks nice though

rebb

It has to do with planetary alignments :poly142:
And Thanks

Pedro Amorim

very nice so far! i like it

Bal

Wow rebb you're actually modeling stuff!
Good start, looks clean.

Hey dude, really nice clean, accurate stuff dude, i like how you handled the small screw holes with the detail on the insides there, i went the easy route and used floaters just so i wouldn't have to deal with that.

Post some updates!

rebb

Thanks guys !

@EQ :
I should use more floaters, they seem to be much more optimal time-wise, and your model shows they are great for the tiny panel text

Here's a small update on the front-panel. It's still missing some stuff and isn't slanted yet, i'll probably do that with a lattice.

EarthQuake

To do the slant i just rotated the thing along the hard edge, if you look closely some of the details seem to be slanted, while others are straight. From what i could tell, the NV button is slanted, and the arrows and top screws are infact straight.

rebb

Time for another update i guess, altho it's small, most work went into the panel since last update - damn details.

@EQ :
Thanks, i ended up rotating the panel and buttons, only leaving the top-screws straight and then redid the screw-insets a little to compensate for the rotation. The On/Off stuff is floaters now !

EarthQuake

Oh hey, you got something i and i think everyone else missed, that little line from the NV button to the "hat" on the arrow buttons, good stuff

MoP

lovely, clean, smooth rebb
the model is good too

rebb

Thanks MoP / EQ

Here's the final, i think.
Now with a shiny OBJ too, but it has n-gons all over the place, please don't hit me .

Looks great. Ngons are cool just as long as you dont have them on detailed or important areas. At least that's what I heard from earthquake.
