If you were working on 3ds Max, here's some tips: Smoothing group - "Set Smooth" to the model - Edit mode - Select edges to cut the smoothing groups - Click on "Ctrl + E" - Choose "Mark Edge Sharp" - Modifier / EdgeSplitter http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.5/Manual/Modifiers/Mesh/EdgeSplit Bevel - Modifier / Bevel -…
Hello, Can you help me with ideas on this? I wanted to make an egg robot at first, but then i changed my mind to a kind of space ship, then i changed back to the egg...i don't know what im doing and i'm stuck, i need some inspiration and critique and guidance please
Oh, I'm the Egg King. I had the fan community in a tizzy searching for the ten numbered eggs in VCS, I've even had eggs mentioned in reviews. Not only are they a giggle to do and find, they can also be a good way of vagueing away bugs you thought you'd fixed 6 times already (no, you are really NOT supposed to be able to…
Hi Polycount, Just posted 1.5.0 beta 3 (win 64) here. This should be the final beta for 1.5.0. I will be posting the LINUX and Mac betas shortly. I've added two new map types 'Hard Edges' and 'Alpha Mask'. I'll post some examples soon. You can use the 'Hard Edges' to do edge wear. It's based on the low poly mesh topology,…
@Boosted24v You have a good start but like Mattias mentioned: it's less of an issue with the process itself and more of an issue with the overall shape. The edge width is also a little too tight and a little too consistent across the entire model. This is causing the injection molded parts to read less like polymer and…
Hello, I have a problem in Maya. I am trying to align a custom Pivot along one of the edges and every time I do so the axis is not perfectly aligned. I noticed Maya gives a warning complaining about the object not being uniformly scaled. The suggestion is to freeze all transformations. However, even though I try to do…
Hello! I been wondering if there is a tool or such in Blender to allow me to merge 2 edge loops at the last selected edge loop, I DO NOT MEAN bridge edge loops, I am talking about merging. I would be very thankful if you know a way or can offer some tips/tricks on doing this. I need to merge loop A to loop B vertices,…
@ThisisVictoriaZ Thanks for the input! Another update: reduced metallic from 1 to ~0,75, added manual touches, exposed raw metal on the edges, another dirt layer and some blue/green patina on gold. Sketchfab Here is the comparison:
In the movie, perhaps the most dramatic pose in this scene is when they are trying to get back to this ship, struggling against the viscosity of the water. Ship seems untextured. Robot should be placed elsewhere, since it is merging with the silhouette of the ship, and thus it's difficult to read. Composition-wise the ship…
You can reinforce your edges to maintain hard edges as in the image below The left box has reinforced edges which maintains the shape of the cube (The last image shows the corner on how these edges are layed out) The second cube just uses chamfered edges which gives a rounder cube. And the last has no edge reinforcement…
