Advice needed on building a hard surface shape!
I'm building up my hard surface/prop modeling chops and I was wondering the best way to go about creating this spiraled handle? I've tried to build it from a helix with splines and also tried starting with a basic cube but i cant seem to nail it. Any suggestions on how you all would attack this? -
Re: 3ds Max partally twist or rotate a spline
The handles will work for some things but not all, you're right it's not as simple as grab a spline knot and rotate it, I wish it was that simple... But for those cases where the handles won't do what I want, I end up hand editing a copy of the mesh, destructively. Trying to come up with a non destructive way gets pretty… -
Re: [Baking Error] Having Hard Seam Line
Hi! Props for attaching files :-B Taking a look at the lowpoly, I'd say with beveled edges and the resulting mesh shading, hard edges become redundant. While hard edges need UV splits (when baking a normal map), not every edge along a UV split needs to be shaded hard. I would use use hard edges deliberately in places where… -
Re: Leap of Faith in finding job opportunity
If I where you, I would pull down some menial job that pays the bills while you work like a mad scientist on your portfolio. If you move to LA you'll be competing for menial labor with all the out of work and would-be actors and actresses. The good news is that with the housing market crash finding a cheap place to live… -

[Maya] Soften/Hard normals unlock locked normals
Hello, I meet a problem that I'm unable to solve. I'm making simple beam and using some bevels on the edge to soften a bit the geometry. When I'm trying to tweak the normals to fix the shading, some are correctly done like I want and some other don't. They seems to have no reasons to behave like this. My current workflow… -

Re: Backpack- Project
Hello everyone!! This week I’ve been finishing the high-poly model. I then moved on to retopologising the organic parts, whilst leaving the hard-surface parts at mid-poly. I also created the UVs, settling on 6 UVs in the end. And I’ve carried out the first bake tests. I hope you like it! -
3d Character Artist (organic and hard surface) looking for work
Hey, I'm a character modeling artist looking for freelance work. If needed I can also handle the conceptualization phase. I'm also interested in any prop modeling in both hard surface and organic. Either email me here contact@jrminor3d.com or send a pm. My portfolio can be viewed here www.jrminor3d.com -
Re: 3ds Max 2016 VS. Maya 2016 for modeling?
Hey Nico, Could you tell me about some hard surface tools you find yourself using a lot in Max that Maya lacks? I love Maya. It's weird I know, but let me explain: I'm a hard surface modeler mainly. I use a 3d mouse. Wacom in the right, 3d mouse /buttons on the left. No Keyboard. Maya is really fast in the sense that it…
