I decided to try modelling an AR-18 lately because I think it looks badass, but I've had a lot more trouble with the handguard than I thought I would. Here's a picture of the gun in question: As you can see, the handguard appears somewhat triangular, not unlike that of an M16A1, but definitely not identical and I just…
so I made a very rough boolean opeartion, after that I did manual cleanup for edge flow on open area for engine section just to give you an idea. There are number of approaches you can take though, You can try spline cage method for modelling this as one highpoly mesh, most commonly used for modelling cars. However I would…
Hi all, CAD guy here learning some Blender. Is there a nice way to have two circular bevels of different sizes meet and intersect in such a way that circularity is preserved? As in this CAD image below: Using the bevel tool with different bevel weights doesn't work - the tool forces the bevels to use the same end vertices,…
@IronLover64 Blender is quite basic making bevels, and has too many flaws, it can't do "extra mitering" like in modo for example. So you will need to work in one part of the mesh, and work with tiles and "arrays" in blender. With modo all this is quite simple an easy, but we still need to work on the topology. If you are…
Here I go with the solution I have used - I did lowpoly for required shape, then duplicated that shape and connected edges. Afterwards I used inset and moved faces constrained to axis. I did a plane shape like this, whichô was quite easy. The harder part came in bending the shape into box shape. I had to do some cleanup,…
Sorry, I should have said that this is the hole for the slide: You can somewhat look inside the gun when the shell is ejected. @Artifice: But it does not look right, there are lots of smoothing problems. You are right about the planing thoug. I just start modelling when I got some inspiration and I start into details and…
Hey guys, I need help with a vital piece of a environment in UDK im creating. As you may of seen in my other thread I am doing a Scandinavian/Norwegian viking village and well I need a viking ship. I have looked up tutorials about it and have no luck as I only found one in lightwave which I dont have, I got recommend to do…
ZBrush Question - Does this ever happen to anyone else too? I will be in the middle of working and then a duplicate model will pop up with no way to undo this option. Each time this happens I have to go back to the most recent QuickSave. This can't be the right answer. This is the issue with the duplicated model. One model…
@abronee There's a discussion about merging similar shapes a few posts up and the last couple of pages of also have examples of how to add intersecting surface features to curved geometry. It's definitely worth taking the time to read through some of the existing documentation in this thread to see if any of those…
A Ford mustand II King Cobra. I've had some issues finding good high-res references and couldn't find any proper blueprints, some versions have these window covers while others don't. I don't know anything about cars so it might be different year models. Here are a few clearer ones:…
