Re: UV mapping curved trunk
In the original image with it auto-unwrapped you could stitch the pieces together, but that would take a while and would require you to relax and massage it into some recognizable shape. Instead I would of selected the whole thing, planar mapped it, defined a edge that ran the length of it and relaxed the mesh, if there… -
Re: New to 3D Art, what do you guys think?
Really impressive for an early model, just try to pin point your methodologies and your target, is this for films or games? I feel you made your life harder with the inconsistency of what you declared to be floating geometry and what you've extruded. If you wan't to be a hard surface artist, look into optimal Edge flow,… -
3ds max selection
So ive been using maya for about 2 years now and im kinda thinking of going back to max. ive been able to modify most of my hotkeys and navigation to be pretty similar between the two, but there's a few things im caught up on. Add/Subtract selection: in max its ctrl/alt and maya its shift/ctrl respectively. in max, since… -
1rst post continued
I hope all is going well with everyone. I had the opportunity to finish the character that I was modeling a couple of weeks ago. I have a few questions that I hope someone will be able to answer. 1. I did not weld the cape to the rest of the body. Is this something that I would weld or attach for a game character? Is it… -
Re: QRemesher Anyone ?
It has a high learning curve, but once you get used to it, it's pretty easy to figure out honestly, and you can even predict what kind of loops it will give you over time. Just remember that it was made by "The Doctor" who also contributed to 3DC is using the same formula in here, so it doesn't matter if you 3DC of QR,… -
Re: [Cinema4D] Infamous Shift-Drag Edges.
Z in modo, X is extrude as well(for use on faces instead of edges) I've never had to do anything like this, possibly look at grid snapping for uvs, dunno. Modo's uv editor in general is much better than Max/Maya, IMO. Modo doesn't have anything for rigging(atleast not soft deformation), you'll want to look at Maya for… -
Re: Modeling Fine Detail
The mesh doesn't have to be solid. For example you can make a lot with splines and then extrude the shape. If the shape has to conform to a curve just make sure it has enough segments so it can deform properly. Another thing you can do is model the details with a plane and extrude the edges to follow a spline. Depending on… -
Re: Struggling with Head Anatomy – Need Feedback to Break the Cycle
Sure thing. For recent exercises, I've used various references as guides. Since I wasn't sculpting a specific head, I kept my approach general thus the proportion is kind of all over the place. Next time, I'll include the references I used. I'm not very familiar with sculpting ears, so I've only placed them roughly so… -
Painted Stuff
Hi everyone! I've been doing some hand painted stuff for fun recently. I don't really know if I want to commit to making an environment or scene out of this stuff, since I don't have a solid idea for one in my head. This first cactus is pretty much finished, but I'm working on the second. It needs a lot more attention… -
Hard Surface Modeling - Standard SubD Modeling VS ZBrush VS Houdini Booleans/VDB
Many months ago I felt that SUBD modeling was really holding me back to produce highly detailed objects/characters/vehicles, like the simple fact of, adding a manifold extrusion would create loops throughout the whole object, I'd spend 2-3 more time dealing with loops and fixing triangles that are messing up with the…
