Hi, This is my first post on forum, so hi! I`m working with 3D software for a lot of years now, but I only did some packaging related stuff. But for some time I want to learn new things and start creating more creative artworks. I know that I will be never professional modeller, I`m not even trying to be, as I work in…
@Deqa You have the right idea. Drawing out the shape borders and topology flow over the reference images can be a great way to start the block out process but it may also be helpful to gather additional reference images with cleaner lighting. Single piece tubs and shower surrounds can be difficult to model because they…
Also... the "Cap" tool within the graphite modeling tools. Not to be confused with the cap tool in the Editable Poly tools. If you are using 2012 though you are screwed. They seemed to have broken this tool.…
Great to see all of the community input on different approaches for the modeling operations. @abronee Have to agree with @ZacD: The primary issue here is figuring out the basic shapes that the designer used to generate the overall form. Gathering some additional references [Turn around images.] should make it easier to see…
@guitarguy00 In the previous example: the base sphere has 12 rings with 24 segments and the subtracted sphere has 22 rings with 28 segments. Both quad sphere and UV sphere intersections tend to produce topology that requires some additional clean up. Minor differences in scale and position often prevent the perfect…
@PleaseHelpMe A few posts up there's a couple of discussions about adding shapes to curves. You'll want to read through those for a more detailed answer to why this is happening and how to resolve it but the basic idea is to maintain a relatively consistent spacing on the geometry that makes up the curved surface and use…
