You could try taking the cap of a cylinder with x # of edges that you want, usually 6 is good. inset the cap, and then bridge edges. I think thats what its called in max anyways. Inset on a curved surface. I do the same thing for complex surfaces, just requires more adjustment of verts and edges to make it fit. Its not…
@armagon There's a few ways to do this but here's one: * Block out the basic roof geometry. * Chamfer the large corners with an appropriate number of segments. * Add two lööps to the middle of the fascia. * Inset the poly strip in the middle. * Chamfer the top and bottom edges to create trim strips. * Inset / solidify the…
Hi everyone! Could anyone help me on how to tackle this topo- wise. It's a wood pillar with an inset for a horizontal woodplank. Thanks and happy holidays!
@Evil_Fischi I'd suggest just going with floating geo because there seems to be other inset details on that circular shape you'll have to bake down as well.
I'm a chronic topology murderer. I'm workin' on it... my question today is... I've got this piece where I cut some straight insets in that go against the direction of the cylinder lines. I redirected them for the deeper cut section. That seemed to work. What I'm wondering, what would be a more elegant way of joining the…
i used a 30 sided cylinder and just inset tool. oh and worked only on a small part. Ignore the support loops on the "small" piece furthest to the right.
So I'm hitting a bit of a snag with modeling this hole and the inset its in. Trying to model it with Sub Ds but I cant seem to figure out how to run my edges for it to smooth properly. Especially right where the inset comes to a point at the side. As you can see in my current progress screen shot I have a highlighted N-gon…
I used this approach to create inset and extruded details on this turntable (using Cinema 4D). Interested to see any more efficient approach if anyone has one. Cheers.
This is basically the same as the previous question, and has the same answer, only instead of an extrusion you have an inset. Those weird honeycomb shapes you have? Don't do that.
