Re: Quake 4 portable communications unit
Wow, I'd never even considered that, Pior. I guess the reason being I tend to be hesitant to 'complicate' the mesh because of a fear that the result would be unwieldy and more difficult to work with. Unless I'm missing the point, of course - are there any links where I could see an example of this kind of approach? Right… -
Re: Quake 4 portable communications unit
Yeah its a rather not so famous approach but honestly its super powerful. As for the result being hard to edit, it really is just a matter of keeping a copy of the original cage in your scene somewhere. I'll make some example thingies on your obj asap. -
Re: Quake 4 portable communications unit
Thanks for the replies, guys. Yeah, the upper section of the lower half is a separate object sitting just inside the object in blue on the paint over. I guess that the low-poly geometry could be a little smarter, like in the examples you pointed out. Yeah, I'm still trying to get my head around the best approach to the… -

Thanks for the feedback, EQ - I appreciate your honesty, and yeah, I think you're pretty much spot-on with your critique. I've definitely been impatient, as one thing I resolved to do this year was take more models to term and start completing assets. I'm also keen to get some more practice in texturing and the entirety of… -
Re: Quake 4 portable communications unit
Most problems that involve not being able to maintain a curve around another complex shape can be fixed simply by adding more geometry. More sides to your curve ect, right now what is defining the curve is very simple geo. I know this may seems backwards to what i was saying earlier, but sometimes you just need to use more…
