Cool Vailias, I tried the very same method last week, trying to mimic the same tutorial. Tricky part that I couldn't get to work well was matching the rotation/banking on the Extrude vs the Flow Object. You could probably get it right at all spots by tweaking the Lattice, but it would be nice with a better non manual…
Yeah, the last place I worked had a really nice script set up for doing that sort of thing, but it sometimes exploded if your curve wasn't rotated just right. You often had to rotate it 90 degrees, do your duplicate-along-spline, then rotate the object back. Man I really don't miss maya.
Hey guys I've been struggling with this for some time now so I decided I needed help. I can't figure out how to keep it straight. My reference: and my model: EDIT: Thanks for the help guys. After a while I managed to get it almost right, as I still get some pinching around the corners.
I'm way too bored right now -___- But anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I Believe having all quads like the last HP set is ideal for UVs and just keeping all quads in general. Some LPs options at the bottom. I might bake it, cause i have nothing better to do :D
How about something more like this? I know that's not perfect, but I think it's the right direction :) You might need some more faces in the big vertical cylinder shape. Personally I would practice on some simpler shapes first. Instead of something with 4 or 5 cylinder shapes merging at add angles, try something with just…
Perfect is the wrong word from my side and I changed it. Communicating over the intrawebs demands the right words at all places :) I meant that @iacdxb did not have any pinching in his solution. I would still prefer a non destructive method. I did an experiment with the standard chamfer(instead of the quad option in the…
Aww... just 5th place(with my second try, first try was 11th if i looked right) Thanks for your hard work Perna(and Pedro too) very amusing video and useful tips and tricks :D Next time i won´t forget the double control loops :) btw: Was the 2.73 chamfer intentional or randomly picked?:poly142:
Hey Frank, could you please tell me how you do the automatic chamfer in model number 3(middle left) here? Is it as simple as selecting to 2 edges in model 2(top right) and hitting the chamfer function in Blender(I'm assuming that is what you are using) and messing around with the edge count and falloff options? Thanks in…
@Thanez Thank you very much! I was waiting for someone to give a good piece of advice for couple of days and i couldn't wait because i wanter to proceed with the project. I made the changes right away after i got home and honestly the results are great thanks again! There is no more skewing and the topology looks ok i…
Try selecting the entire loop (navy) and giving it a chamfer (yellow). This will be a complete support loop for that edge to be tightened up, however, it's possible you'll get an unwanted pinch/tight effect on the other end of that loop. Right now you have some support loops that are terminating too soon, and also…
