Re: What's missing from modern software?
Vig I hate booleans in general since they always do something odd. I have tried the pro booleans at one point but I just seem to get nicer results doing it by hand, which can be very time consuming. It would be nice if it just worked though and not have to clean things up after you use them. Most of what I posted falls… -
Re: Beginner: First Model Ever
Great work off of that reference. 2 things that need some work though. First off, the wheels need to be beefed up, as you can see in the reference they are a bit larger and more pronounced. Secondly, (this isn't a big deal), but the black plastic cover, the 5 extruded polys should be a bit bigger lengthwise. In your… -
Re: First character model
I could be off as fuck in what I'm going to say, but to me the difference in shading between loops on the arms and legs look like you extrude each part separately. Either that or you're using a shinny material? I think you have some unneeded polys in there, consider fleshing the forms out a bit more and then adding detail.… -
Question - Bevel Everything - Yay or Nay?
Hey to all, I have been having abit of a conundrum to which I would like answers. Pretty please help. My question is, for baking normals, and even polygons generally, it is better to Bevel for everything or if there a time and place and limit for such things? Example: I'm making a massive inset/hole for a model of mine,… -
Re: [WIP] RED V-Raptor camera, Plasticity practice
Wow, the level of detail is monstrous. I'd throw myself into the fire just to avoid having to re-upload those things, hehe. Do you work in a "classic" way? Do you draw 2D and extrude and then use Booleans or do you have a particular method? Some of your stuff I didn't even think could be done with plasticity. Definitely… -
Re: 3DS Max - Branches freeform
Yea it was a cool idea but it's dependent on the angle of the viewport in relation to the geometry so it mostly gives crap results that you end up undo'ing 10-15 times until you get something that sort of works. Because it's screen space dependent it makes it hard to get back to that angle, so you end up with a lot more… -
[Maya] - UVs normalize problem
Hey there ! I get a little problem with the UVs Normalize using maya. Here are two images explaining my problem : So when I normalize unwrap the face, here is what I get ... It should be a perfect square. Like in there :… -
Re: Help: Stick Figure Modeling
Guys I've been working on some of the models. I understand the Edge Loop Technique now which is cool. So you know this is the stort of style we're heading for: Where I'm still stuck and this is silly is the the creation of the arms and legs. Using a four sided cylinder, how many section should it have? I usually give it a… -
Re: Anime hair/connected hair geometry
Another trick here is to realize these models were created mostly in quads, with edge-loop modeling tools. Then converted into triangles before export to the game, and edited further to improve the new triangle edges. One of a gazillion "blender extrude" search results: -
Re: What Are You Working On? (3D) 2025
I seem to have got this technique down quite well. slightly high poly, but still ok I think, with LOD's or just turning off the bevels so make the normal sole, subdivide once, so you have a smooth shape, then cut in to it and extrude. You can still subdivide it because the bevels act as support loops. Bit of a pain to…
