Hard Surface Robotic Arm
Hard surface model that i finished not so long time ago. It was originally part of a larger project but i decided to do it as a separate work. I learned a lot while doing it. A Big thanks to "How The F*#% Do I Model This?" Thread :* Modelled, composited and rendered in Blender. Artstation page Larger parts are manually… -
Maya Users: What's your hard surface workflow?
I'm trying to get more into the deep end of hard surface modeling in maya but I'm flustered by all the info. I understand how most things are used but what are the best things/tools for hard surface game assets? I'm seeing a lot of stuff about booleans but what about the topology? Does one just retopo with quadmesh after… -
taking a class online and I am questioning the teachers topology & edge flow
hey, long time lurker on this forum and wanted to ask a question about hard surface topology. I'm taking an online course and it was going pretty well until I reached this part of a GameCube controller. from my understanding, I thought it was a bad practice to have a lot of poles... and I also understand this is a flat… -
Re: A good alternative to Topogun?
I think zremesher is great for some hard surfaces and most clothing. It gives you the topology that you need, even usable in production. The trick is to know when to use it, and when to do it by hand. -
Re: Zbrush Alpha Quality
Look into HD sculpting mode as well. It's a very old and very overlooked technique that allows you to go into billions of points with little performance hit. I would avoid Dynamic Sub-D. It is intended for hard-surface modeling and a completely different topology than optimal organic sculpting topology. -
Re: How u model dem shapes? Image Ripped!
I've updated the thread with some personal image dump archives, extra links and a smashing polygon table. Everything tries to relate in some way to hard surface topology or modeling. Peace out and enjoy! -
A question for the hard surface / asset modelers in the game industry.
First, excuse my english (it's not my first language). For all you guys that work mostly with non organic objects (hard surface, asset, environment ), I have a question: It's required at your job to model with clean topology in subdivison surfaces for your hi poly, or you have the choice to model more freely (booleans,… -
Decimated Mesh vs Clean Mesh
I was told that decimated mesh is bad for in-game performance. I used to use Zbrush decimation tool for hard surface stuff to save time but I got complained. He said the game engine (we are using UE4) will take more time to calculate meshes with bad topology. Is it true? As I know there are a lot of people are using this… -
Re: .-| Week 40- The Weekly Hard Surface Challenge |-.
I really need to get better at hard surface so ill be joining more on this one! topology got kinda messy after a while so here is the result: Wires:http://s29.postimg.org/jnwd1sac7/Wireframe.jpg -
Maya - how to achieve smooth clean curved surface
I am using maya to model. So any tips on maya helps better. Specifically, I am having a real hard time struggling with creating smooth clean curved surface without lumpy / pinching areas. Was it the topologies? or some tools to fix this? Here is the concept and the 3D blockout. Thanks.
