After you have insetted, extruded and scale your model to you liking you may rotate it 45 degree in the viewport and switching to orthogrphic view and then have a look into the bisect tool.. after pinning all UVs a simple edge selection and mkae face (with thr F2 addon) will also add correspondending UVs.. now this…
Personally, I'd model a bunch of separate curly parts I can reuse and tweak, don't worry about overlaps, just kitbash them together. Either bake down all the details to a pretty simple mesh or use a tool like 3d coat that can voxelize the model. These types of details are pretty small and just become visual noise, so they…
Weeee thanks mate! It's nice to see other peoples workflow. That program (modo?) really makes for some mindless cleanup! I must check that program out. Does beveling all the edges of an object work in a lot of cases? It was nice and clean there and simple to follow. I'm worried I'm gonna bevel something and then have to…
To me, everything is an unfamiliar surface since I am just learning and so I work in this fashion so that I can see any problems or errors I have made. But then the support loops I end up adding in the process mess up my topo so much that I can work with the rest of the mesh. So my question is, how can people iterate with…
EQ, that last .gif I get it mostly which is surprising to me but anyways after all the chambers are in there and you added those faces and duplicated that all around the open face how did you create those faces before duplicating them? Like did you use a plane and had the same amount of verts on the edges and then attached…
Hey guys. I'm sure you've all been through this before but hopefully it might help someone. BOLTS! how do you make a hexagon bolt with smooth edges!? we'll i did a lot of faffin around and made this it took far to long and involved loop, extrudes and deleting edges. i was going to use this on a recent model but decided to…
Hey all, I was hoping someone could help me out with this pencil sharpener. The rest is pretty simple, I'm just really struggling with this handle portion. Thanks
@Joao Sapiro u too. @sacboi It's all good. We both arrived at roughly the same conclusion and offered similar advice. Always worth considering the more straightforward modeling operations. Happy new year everyone.
