@sacboi - just wondering when you do subd do you try and make the polys mainly square so you don't get too many flow lines which are kind of superfluous ?like here I have a lot of rectangles flowing from front to back, should i try and square them all up, so there is consistency in the mesh ?(I did this back in 2000, so…
so yeah it did work ok, the one subd level gives slightly less chunky effect.using weighted average for the edges did nt work too well as each edge has a slightly different weight ie averaged out - have to do it by angle+ making the required lines as hard edged - you get a nice clean panel line that wayAlso I make a vertex…
It's just a shame that there is no edit poly modifier in blender as you could do the panelling on the subd without collapsing the modifier stack.these cars are all mainly for mid distance viewing, so not going for the high fidelity style this time, but I am going to do a proper sub d car at some point, once I figure out…
look forward to seeing the Tiger revamp,since you are a proper hard surface modeller :) the good thing with uv mapping the bevels is that blender does a reasonable job of it and IMHO Eevee does a great job with car/shiny shaders . There are plenty of procedural approaches for the camo pattern , using 'object 'rather than…
@sacboi so its a bit tricky at times, but in involved using weighted normals modifier in blender. Also you can use face normal strength, so where there is a bevel, get rid of the hard edges and set the bevel face strength to weak, the bigger faces to strong. I will dig out the tutorial on you tube, but its a pretty cool…
^ Some great tips there "just wondering when you do subd do you try and make the polys mainly square so you don't get too many flow lines which are kind of superfluous ?like here I have a lot of rectangles flowing from front to back, should i try and square them all up, so there is consistency in the mesh ?"
