Hey guys, im modeling a door off of a concept by razorb. im having a hard time figuring out how to model the door. At first i thought about just cutting on a plane but it all comes back to the circle im having issues with. Ideas? Im starting to think best way would be to spline out each side of the door then extrude it to get that shape in middle as well as the bevel for seperate door panels

i have the basic part of the door modeled out, im having a hard time sub-d modeling it. How should i terminate all the verts in the middle part of the circle just to a single vert?

If that is the high poly model, I wouldn't worry about it unless it causes a workflow or rendering issue.

Something like this?

Why when i look at this can't i see how you did that,
You had to of started with a plane/box, i tried chamfering a vert to get a an area to make a circle......

how............. did you even??

i used a spline as a guide to cut the circle and snapped the verts to the spline

Is that really the best way?, i mean cutting something by hand tracing something seems like a really inefficient way to me im curious as to how mike did his to compare techniques.

nick2730 · Dec 2011

probably not lol, well if you turn snaps to verts on and set the circle to 8 sides its only 8 clicks then i cut to the edges and away i went.

Ahhh ofc, it didnt click the first time, that actually isnt that bad, thats quite clever actually...., and quite quick when i think about it....... cheers

gotta remember the simple things ;D XD

I would've been lazy and just made it three sections.

Really Marshall, that sounds even harder than doing it the cut method way, i like this, i find learning everyone elses methods helps you choose the one best for your frame of mind
