Mic

I did most of the grill in 30 minutes or so last night to help someone on the irc, then I decided to finish up the high poly and maybe bake it for a new portfolio piece.

Quick render / materials, but you get the idea.

nice... how did you end up doing the mesh part?

Then I got crazy with a lattice deform-er, I kinda got lucky with the mesh-part. Seems like I got lucky with the spacing and number of "threads," its pretty close to the real thing, and I didn't count. :P

Cool~!!! I have a question!
After making the lattice, how did you make a head of mic. (part of lattice on the modelling)

ZacD

I used a lattice deform-er

I need help with the normal mapping X(



It looks like my idea for the metal part worked, besides for being miss aligned and making a weird lumpy sphere, how do I fix that.

ZacD

Nvm, fixed, now I just got to clean up the seams. All I had to do was make sure the rest of the uv space for the globe was attached and hanging off the edge.

Fixed everything, I had to make it a half instead of a forth, just wouldn't line up right, I even re-modeled the whole mesh

Will finish up the rest tomorrow, I need some rest. I think I might bump up the roundness of the cylinder, its at 264 tris right now. Texture is at 512, I think I'll leave it at that for presentation, I think I may also model in the band, right now its jaggity because of the UV layout.

Oh i know it's a old thread, but i saw you using Softimage there!
Could you tell me how did you do the part when you apply that grid like mesh of the Mic to a sphere? I have a lot of problems finding the right tools to apply One stuff to fit another round stuff in Softimage...

I just used the lattice deformer multiple times to slowly pull it into the right shape, not sure if I'd try doing that again, but it worked well enough.
