Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | March - April (101)
Great work on it @BillyJackman! Glad to see you stuck with it and put some great details into the walls with the drips and dirt. :) The only thing I'd want to point out for your next project would be to look into ways to make the pipes feel more embedded into the concrete. Particularly the copper ones feel like they're… -
[Maya 2017] how to drive the shape of an extruded curve with more than one curve
I'm an hobbyist so I don't have tons of knowledge about this topic but, https://youtu.be/Nn7mISvVzJk?t=52s (watch up to the 3 minute mark to understand the gist of my question). So obviously it's easy to create a polygon along a curve, for this guy his first 2 curves he talks about has an identical workflow compared to… -
Re: Blender Mega Thread
I'm using Blender 2.5 Alpha 2 and having a bit of a problem with the extrude tool. I was wondering if any of the Blender gurus might be able to help. Normally when I press the 'E' key and have a vertex selected Blender will go into extrude mode and I can freely move the new vertex to a position of my choosing. Something… -
Extrusion Issues... (Twisting/Contorting.)
Hello There, Currently, this is my very first post, and sadly, is something of an issue. I was hoping to have some work to post on polycount soon, but, just as I was finishing the palm for my character, I came across a new and sudden issue. It appears, that if I use the extrusion feature, either it being the edge, vertex,… -
Maya - Best way to approach
Hi all, I am in the middle of a project creating an Arri Alexa Mini 3D model. I have shaped out some basic shapes and some supporting lines. But I am not too sure on how I would approach the extrusion inside the camera towards the sensor. Below is the image and annotation of the shape I am trying to imitate: At first I… -
Re: Apocalypse Seer Concept
Hi- thanks! For tubes I use two methods, depending on what I want. For a plain, smooth surfaced tube, I create an EP curve and move the control points around until the curve follows the path i want the tube to take. Then I create a poly cylinder and move it to the start of the curve, rotate it to match the orientation of… -
Re: Bookshelf
Hey! This model isn't really ready for texturing. Will you be creating a high poly then baking a normal map to a low poly? You're going to have a very difficult time getting this to match the reference if you're not baking down details. You could cut down on a huge number of polygons just by building this mesh as if you… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Pirate Caitlyn
Reply by RaXzeD · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Character ArtSince this is one of my first human models, I watched a lot of tutorials on the topology of the face. To get used to the way humans toplogogy should be, I went ahead to make this model using those key edge loops around the eyes, nose and mouth, even though this is not going to be animated. The key loops were always in my… -
Re: Retopologizing multiple Meshes
Right on Bartalon, I really appreciate your input and clarifying the workflow. I guess one of my main concerns is, when the model is extruded inwards but also has the metal grate that's in front of the fan, Would you recommend retopoing the body with the inward extrusion separately from the metal grate and fans ? or… -
Re: Trees
You need to triangulate more. It's very obvious to see how you made it, where the extrusions are and it looks very boxy. What I usually do for lowpoly organic shapes, is extrude, then rotate a bit, extrude again, etc. This will make the shapes more random looking. Here's an example (222 triangles) of the bottom part of the…
