It's generally frowned upon in this thread to do someone else's work for them, but I felt like I needed some practice. Is this sort of what you were going for? No clue how to reduce the pinching further. I don't consider myself a master hard surfacer so I'd appreciate anyone with more experience showing a more efficient…
Thank you @FrankPolygon Your answers are always very insightful! I've been bouncing all over the place looking for the fastest and the most intuitive workflow for modelling from concept to texture. Came all the way from CAD modelling from Fusion 360 to Subdivision and i'm still not able to properly dig in. It was becoming…
Hey guys! I've been working on my subd modeling lately and one of my challenges was a Clone Trooper helmet. I've run into some issues with my usual workflow on this as I've modeled separate pieces using different techniques making it a little difficult to combine without pinching. How would I also best ensure the shapes…
I use it almost exclusively now and have not experienced any trouble making complex forms. Give me a small hardsurface challenge if you'd like! As for import/export I haven't had to work much with interoperability to be fair, but for game assets it works no different with baking at least since you export it as a pure,…
Hey @DeathstrokeFTW , Nice job! You've got the primary form down! and it looks like you are beginning to work on the secondary level of detail. I am a maya guy, so I am not sure if 3Ds Max has an edge loop tool. If so, My recommendation would be to add more polygons where you need it (i.e using edge loops and extrudes)…
Ionic Columns having a few issues. Real quick I tried to merge some of the photos to lessen the amount pics uploaded. Also, on the column part question, So I could get a little bit of a preview I made the instances while modeling that detail. So that hard edge isn't part of the problem. (Pointed out with blue arrow) I’m…
Sure, first off there are pretty much two ways to do hard edge stuff without adding in extra geometry, that i know of. First is to use smoothing groups for your hard edges in max. One of the big disadvantages to doing this is that you always have infinately hard edges. Really nothing in life has an edge that hard, so it…
