This was a lot harder than I initially imagined it to be. It ended up kinda messy I think, take a look at the wires if you'd like! Would love some feedback :) Wires JamesHodgart: Looks great! Clean and nice, some of your edges might be too tight for a bake but I'm looking forward to seeing your wireframe! :) For next…
Wireframe When I first started this one I started with the rectangle insert part and then placed a 12 sided cylinder. After a lot of testing I realized I didnt have enough geometry and was making a mess. I decided to work a 32 sided cylinder which gave me enough to work with. This was a lot harder but I have learnt a bit…
@Alex-Stown: Thank you for joining us. In the future, Please Link to Pictures of your wireframe, Instead of posting in open forum. This is to avoid spoilers for other participants who may not want to have any hints on how to do certain things. @EQ: I see your point, And would agree for the most part, But we are back to…
@Cheatthem & stevston89: Please Review the Original post. In the future please link to your wireframe shots, Instead of posting them in open forum. Thanks guy! I'm glad you could join us. @ Cheatthem: If you start with more sides for the main cylinder shape you will have a less oblong result, and an overall nicer…
JurassicPerk, absolutely know what you meant with the size references. Dunno if it's the same issue you ran into, but when I made the mesh the sticking parts with the holes (in the base, the ones you marked as '15' units) were too long and I had to pull the whole thing down, but just using the scale tool would mess the…
Congrats on the Recap guys! Wouldn't be possible without all you, you're awesome! @Froxi: Nice edges man! @ayoub44: Take note of how many bolt holes there are on the shape. It's important to pay close attention to the concept when modeling. Not to mention it makes your life easier when you can instance 1/5th of the object…
@AHH: Oh, I might not have been clear. There wouldn't be a write up for every post/person who submits. It would be at the end of the week done by a third party, per se. And yes. There would be one object....With different focuses depending on who you are and what your looking to achieve. So the only thing required of Joe…
Looking good! On your wireframe pic It looks like you have an Ngon pulling on the main cylinder, where it meets the box. I can't see if it's causing any shading errors, So it might be nothing, But the more continuous the geometry the better! But the smoothed end result is king, So if it looks good, Props :) Just a little…
Hey guys! Looking to get a little better at modeling challenging and complex shapes? Do you frequently have trouble with tricky geometry, and need to up your game? Just bored at work and want to kill some time? Well, You're in the right place! In 'The Weekly Hard Surface Challenge' complex and challenging geometry will be…
