yeah doing that fancy method creates and extra row of polys, which I then have to manually delete. was a real pain in the ass the next stage to to make any new cars i make subd 1 then add the panelling/detailit will then be just about smooth looking :/
"....model will be around 60,000 tris, but will have no undercarriage" It's mesh is basically a rectangle so a low tri count including interiors would imo be expected, although just a slight nitpick thought for future reference. On your ChevelIe for example, I do think that spending a few more polys especially around the…
learning a lot about editing normals. After collapsing my bevels and realising that there is a lot of tidying up to do, the shading can easily get messed up blender has a fair few tools to help with that, like smooth vector, reset vector etc you can really fine tune the normals using modifiers and vertex groups to isolate…
look forward to seeing the Tiger revamp,since you are a proper hard surface modeller :) the good thing with uv mapping the bevels is that blender does a reasonable job of it and IMHO Eevee does a great job with car/shiny shaders . There are plenty of procedural approaches for the camo pattern , using 'object 'rather than…
Like your work B ) EDIT: If you don't mind me asking - I'm just curious about the workflow, creating these low poly cars especially rounded edges and curved shapes like wheels, light wells or generally other non curvature surfacing/topology whilst also at the same time not incurring usual edge faceting....? I mean how do…
Hey, no probs.It just dawned on me over the last few months that people were using these kind of techniques more and more. It's kind fo fun to be doing low poly modelling again, even had to do some edge turning :/ I started my first car in 2002 and because I could n't make it look good I gave up on it. I am starting to…
