I learned something new today. When you extrude a quad, you create 4 E and N Poles. E poles are Extrude poles (5 edges) and N poles are Nose poles (3 edges). I’m not sure if those are the right names though 😅
Hey there, fellow artists! We've reached day 49 of my incredible 180 Day Topology Improvement Journey. Today, I dived right back into my mouse model and dedicated several hours to honing my craft. But hey, a little break for some learning never hurts, right? I stumbled upon an enlightening tutorial by the talented John…
Day 76/360 of my art challenge: I explored the Coordinate system in Blender. Blender uses a right-angled “Cartesian” coordinate system with the Z axis pointing upwards. The Cartesian coordinate system defines the position and orientation of any object in 3D space using three numbers: x, y, and z. The X-axis indicates…
Day 71/180 (Topology): So, I started some research on using references in 3D modeling and I have learned a lot. I read some information that made me rethink my approach. The author said that for beginner artists, it’s best to stick to accurately recreating an existing object. Then, after a few projects, you’ll start…
Hey there, fellow artists! It's day 56 of my epic 180-Day Topology Improvement Journey. Today was quite a challenge as a power outage disrupted my Blender workflow for a whopping 12-14 hours. But did I let that stop me? Absolutely not! Instead of wallowing in darkness, I turned to Google and delved into the world of 3D…
Greetings fellow 3D and Blender artists! It's day 50 of my 180 Day Topology Improvement Journey, and I'm excited to share with you my progress on the mouse model. Today was a bit challenging due to unstable power, but I still managed to invest some time into it. However, I found myself struggling with properly bending the…
Hello there, fellow artists! It's Day 55 of my 180-day topology improvement challenge, and today I've decided to work on a lotion cream that I discovered in my mom's room. I actually started working on it yesterday, with the hope of adding a specific detail to the model, but I ended up settling for what I have now. Believe…
Hey there, lovely people! Welcome to the fabulous Day 60 of my mind-blowing 180-Day Topology Improvement Journey. Today, I jumped right back into the groove of my Dry Iron model. Picture this: I courageously hit the delete button on the handle and took another shot at it, because, let's be real, the first attempt just…
Hello everyone, welcome to day 39 of my 180-day topology improvement journey! Today, I started my day at 5 AM and downloaded several videos by John Dickinson. He has many HOW TO videos that I believe will help me learn a lot. I watched one of his TopoTalk series videos and gained valuable insights into directing edge flow.…
