how do you distort the proper geometry into something closer to organic rathar than basic hard surfaces? My attempts end up with some weird spikes and stuff.I guess a better controll is possible with smaller poly's,but then it would be a pain in a but to correct them all. I challenged myself with joystick,and the handle…
dude really? No beef at all, there are plenty of cases where this will work, in the case you delivered the context was not really clear, using double the polies madie it actually easier to get the proper shapes - so I don't see why it would be wrong talking about that. Thinking of this thing could be a piece of a first…
So, I wanted to touch on something Per mentioned a while back, BOOLEANS. I've been using them more and more lately, I was always sort of afraid of using them from early days when I really didn't know how to. But for certain stuff they save so much time. I happened to be modeling a little screwdriver shape so I figured I do…
So this a little weird and out of the subject area, forgive me... Imagine I have a compound curve mesh like a bowl and the walls of the bowl have a varying thickness. Say I wanted to unfold this bowl flat, as one would for papercraft, but wanted to retain the thickness of the walls. Is there a software, a script, anything…
@chopsuey Hey bud, this is the classic "cutting a hole in a cylinder" problem. I suggest you look through this thread for some learning, because this is just one method to do this. In short why you're getting stretchy no-no's is because you made an extrusion at the cylinder's established edge, and you are NOT allowed to…
Hello all, I am generting an asset, a Hero bad ass Asset for VR for Occulus Quest 2 (No Dedicated €1000 GPU!). To start below is a just door: Grey Shape = I have it covered with a normal map, looks great! My problem ist the Blue part, a HUGE amount of objects for this machine, have nice smooth beveled rounded edges. After…
Did some more subD practice, would love to hear what people think of these questions. Max methods would be more appreciated. 1-Is it better for trims (please correct me if they're not called like that) to be separate meshes? If so, extrude+detach? 2-Any accurate way of guaranteeing a perfectly round surface? Would love to…
Hey guys, so yeah ... I am struggling BIG TIME with this Architecture piece. It is part of a bigger project in a modular environment and I'm about to throw in the towel because of this This is the roof of the Hagia Sophia church / mosque in Istanbul. Below you can find a blueprint of same church. Now I've already tried…
Hello Guys. Its my firs thread I'm reading on this forum and my first post as well. I'm reading it for few days and I'm on page 25 ... too bad the end is near :/ I've readed SO COOL things here about sub-D , went to so amazing links thanks to You. WOW. And seen so amazing portfolios ! EarthQuake, Perna and Bitmap ...…
Ok so i ended up modeling a similar thing last night, and i'll explain a little what u did. I started off with a cylinder that was 36 sided I added some cuts in at one end to retain the shape of the curve Then i removed every 4 edges, leaving 2 inbetween. This becomes the basis for your flat areas. After you have this, its…
