Looking for a tut on making bandages and wraps, I'm trying to do a bandage wrap for a barrel and my workflow is terrible and i know there has to be a better way.
Thanks, I think the second video might be best for what Im trying to achieve, would appreciate if someone showed them making the wrap, I have a few more refs if needed
I don't know how to go about modelling this wrap refs: my attempt: if anyone could provide some insight on how to acheive something that resembles the reference it would be greatly appreciated
if i have a shape i can not wrap my head around. i just go in and draw a wireframe over it. starting with the more detailled parts to see how much resolution i would need in the simpler elements. a ring is always easy to upres
Here is how I do wraps, probably not the best way, and is a bit of a cheat as it doesn't truly wrap around, but here is what I do (and this is in zbrush, not maya, so might be totally useless)
Agreed, a non destructive method to achieve a braided weave, leveraging splines: https://polycount.com/discussion/135471/katana-grip-wrapping-help#Comment_2075571 ...and simplified: https://polycount.com/discussion/135471/katana-grip-wrapping-help#Comment_2076253
