Hi Per, haven't seen you around here for a while plus awesome might take up your offer, always willing too learn and I promise to not take the piss :) so duly bookmarked...oh and Happy New Year, by the way :) @annee your mesh is too low poly to support the cut, I'd advise adding more edge loops and segments.…
Thank you! I've been jumping between maya and max recently and was trying to do this in max but couldn't find the button :( I had also used Softimage (XSI at the time) loads a few years ago. Its funny how you merge programs into one in your head and get lost. The right thing is actually Maya, BUT in my head I see the UI of…
You have the right idea: the geometry intersects between the vertical segments of the cylinder. If you're happy with how it subdivides and it bakes down fine then it's passable. It all depends on how clean it needs to be and what you're using it for. Where you can run in to problems: the two vertical loops on either side…
Oo oo, i know this one @Dklang, first one definitely make a tileable texture. 2nd, quite possibly one of the most aggravating things ever. Off the top of my head I have 3 solutions; 1)go in and work the the topology itself, get the loop to travel back around the top of the surface rather than ever touching its side, or…
I gave up for now on trying to finish the exact details of the shotgun I was working on and decided to move onto some other guns to keep practicing and improving. I think I learned a lot and made some decent models, but I decided to move onto something else that wasn't a gun. I chose a C-17 Globemaster cargo plane. Figured…
I don't mean to sound like a retard (but I am) what do you mean by collapse the verts and If I did it with the knife tool (I assume you mean cut tool) wouldn't it be un-even. Or is the point to adjust that by eye later then? I don't really follow the post. I've only been modeling a short while. I'm sorry for being such a…
Hi there im having a trouble with modeling 1 shape.Its a roof. This is where im currently at: I've worked out sketch earlier and stuff,can't scan the pic right now. Anyway,i know the shape i want for the roof,i thought i'll make it,but im stuck. Here's illustration of what i want to make with roof Basically,i know i can…
Hi Guys, I'm quite new to poly/sub-d modelling (and this forum for that matter) and i'm not really sure how to approach a little project i started the other day. Basically I want to model a plane from an old Clint Eastwood film called Firefox. The issue I'm having is how to transition from the angular 'chisel' like nose of…
dude really? No beef at all, there are plenty of cases where this will work, in the case you delivered the context was not really clear, using double the polies madie it actually easier to get the proper shapes - so I don't see why it would be wrong talking about that. Thinking of this thing could be a piece of a first…
@DeathstrokeFTW This is a circular pattern, so decide an amount of segments you want on branches and base that will match up nicely. I started with 8sided base cuz I want 4 branches. 4 branches with 4 sides each will match up nicely with 8sided base. One (red) of them unique, the rest instances. 4 new branches with 4…
