Re: Any trick for hard surface retopo?
The actual fix to this problem isn't using a special program. It is planning your modelling workflow correctly. Definitely do NOT use tools designed for characters on hard surface assets. Any quad draw program will be a poor way to make a hard surface mesh over good ole polymodelling. Doing hard surface in Zbrush costs… -
Re: How to model a 50s van?
@ArtHuman Polygonal automotive modeling workflows typically involve tracing the body lines with curves or subdivided edges and creating clean guide shapes for the curved panels before cutting in any surface details. Whether or not something is modeled as a continuous surface or split into sections really depends on the… -
A deep lecture on surfaces by crtl+Paint
I got a note that ctrl+Paint has got some new offerings on their store that might help you with your surfaces. The newest offering explores making realistic surfaces for your objects and environments as well as work flows on how to achieve them. He's got a sample video that I'll link below for your perusal. The surface… -
Maya: combining polygon surfaces
I need to find a fast, automatic method for combining 2 polygon surfaces. The idea would be similar to a Boolean, but on more of a 2D scale. Please take a look at the image "quad-transition1.jpg". The highlighted ring is a quad strip drawn with the new modeling toolkit. I want to combine this with the surrounding surface,… -
Animate a car rising through a surface
Hi! I am going to model the car in the attached photo and make an animation where it rises up from the surface beneath it. First, only the flat surface is visible, then the car starts to emerge from the surface, until it reaches the height in the photo. Modelling the car and animating it’s movement is not a problem - the… -
Question about Non-Planar surface
Hi Polycount, I've been doing a hard-surface modeling for this futuristic baton: I've begun working on a handle. However, Im faced with problems: Non-planar surfaces. The handle is supposed to resemble hand-gun handle. It's a tough geometry to model. so today I've been re-working the handle, because it just looked too… -

Organic Hard Surface modeling?
Hi Im kind of new around here so my apologies to any mistakes made but hopefully i can contribute to the community... So my question is have i made up "organic hard surface modeling?" I have had a look around on the interwebs and all i come across is debates about what programs do what and that's not what i care about.… -
Sub-D, inset on curved surface?
hey hey.. im currently workin on a high-p piece that will require a rectangular inset on a curved surface.. my problem is that i cant find a good meshflow to make this look right w/o pinching. take a look at these example pics: 1. flat surface = inset looks right 2. curved surface (well kinda but u get the idea..) surface… -
Which program to use for hard surfaces?
Hello everyone, Should I use Blender or Zbrush to go about hard surface modeling? I've heard the new Zbrush 4R2 has gotten a few more tools for hard surfaces. Can anybody speak from experience working on hard surfaces starting in Zbrush? I will eventually be switching from Blender to 3d Studio Max once I have enough money.…
