I've got a bunch of models that come from a CAD program. I need to make them workable, so I can sculpt on them and add more detail. The meshes look like this: Note how they are separate elements. I can weld all the vertices and get one solid element, but the mesh flow is still awful. I don't have a lot of experience with…

2 cylinders one 16 sided one 8 sided and a squashed octa geosphere hemisphere (4 segments so it matches up to the 16 sided cylinder) remove top faces from hemisphere ahead of the selected edges. Extrude edges to second cylinders and sub divide the extrusion. Add the detail to the 8 sided cylinder and shape it. Attach the…
Thanks. I found that greenery and other such natural elements generally lead to a more positive and stress free work space.... plus its a great way to hide all the cables. About 70% of the plants on the desk come from Ikea, they dont cost much. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/decoration/20492/ The…
Tested out some trusses on the ceiling and I like them quite a bit. Also I deleted the angled wall parts as they caused lighting errors and didn't look great. I'm going to try to mix in some more ME elements to fill up the area beneath the catwalks instead of using those angled slopes. Going to start doing some more…
Thanks. This image is almost Straight out of After Effects using Element 3D. I am pushing the memory on my video card to the limit. I did not do much with the lens ie DOF and what not because it is a digital set. You sort of make it hard on a DP if you put in to much util the practical is shot. I did the modeling in Max…
Your shape language is really tight and the architecture is exciting- but because its such an unusual style it's hard to get a bearing on scale or context. Consider adding some more recognizable elements such as tree planters or bushes as PHaynes888's mentioned. Let the viewer know why this space exists. Is it a courtyard…
I have to admit, I didn't thought that much about the lighting when designing the scene. The light elements were placed as points of intrest, to make the scene more intressting and then I used them as source for the scene lighting. It's my first complete scene (did only props before that) and so I have still a LOT to…
Max 8.0 had an issue where only selected faces of an element in the uvw editor would appear unwrapped properly in the viewport. Service Pack 3 got rid of this problem for me. It might be what you are experiencing. To test this theory, change your viewport configuration to have "Shade Selected Faces" unchecked, then go into…
