I had a go with that gun piece as well, I tried to sharpen the corners with local cuts and not adding loops across the whole cylinder and messing up its smoothness. Looks good for me, but you pros can comment if this is good way to add details into smooth surfaces and shapes where adding whole loops for creases might not…
Hi! I think that on making the pictures I answered myself but anyway let me post them here and confirm my idea... Image 1 is a typical case in wich you need more geometry, otherwise the tension between faces and the proximity generated when subdiving the mesh will cause lumps or straight edges... Image 2 has a decent…
Hi guys newbie here trying to replicate a retinal scanner that I imported (left w/selected element): The purple object (right) is mine at it's current state. I tried edge modeling using local orientation but scaling the edges in doesn't work out well. Could someone point me in the right direction of what to do? Angled face…
One of my lab assignments is to use 3Ds Max's MaxScript to model a snowflake. Here is the supposedly outcome of this model. You'll find details here: https://github.com/Seneca-GAM536/Wiki/wiki/Lab-9 As mentioned above, I am to model this snowflake (minus the wirecolors) using MaxScript with quaternions (No eular rotation).…
Ok sorry if wasn't specific: this is the whole thing. It is mostly a personal exercise so it's not going anywhere, I am just trying to make an high-poly, quads only as much as possible. As you can see I need to fix other other parts of the mesh but I was stuck specifically on that section. What approach is obsolete?…
I can't speak to how you would do this in blender, or the context of the shape (directly dictating the size/width of the edge). But here is how i would do it in max. If it helps at all :) Starting from where you did, I did the following: Delete all capping faces. Set working pivot (does blender have one?) to the middle…
@perna Thank you, and yes I've seen it asked and answered in various ways, none of which seem to make sense enough to me to directly apply. As I said, the first suggestion (more base resolution) is impractical, and when it comes to things like you've illustrated in that link, they seem to point to early termination and…
Im just curious how would u guys go about modelling the little indents into this beretta ninety two model from what i have so far... I Mean i know its going to be ALOT of geometry its just im unsure how to go about it at the moment because its going to be so TIGHT when its all padded and done its a nightmare Im just…
@perna Thank you man. @mhaha2 Thank you very much, although that's not what I meant, but at least I learned I can use hinge from edge with an edge from another element. I think perna got what I meant. I wanted to do this thing in edge extruding process. I can't edge extrude then chamfer to get something like the topology…
Well, Spent most of the night learning how not to make it. This is where i ended up: Geo sphere with 1 segment. Chamfer all verts until tris and pents Weld Use select similar always every time every day delete tris scale all faces locally Bridge/cap/remove edges to span the gaps. or user "create" plolies I suppose. connect…
