My first official post :)
I have signed up for digital tutors to help me get back into the swig of things. I have started off with this tutorial. I started off by watching the tutorial just so I would see what is possible and then jumped in. I found it pretty easy to pick up and was happy to see that I haven’t forgotten as much as I thought I did.
The tutorial goes through many different modeling methods like using poly’s, sub d’s, nerbs and a few more. I only modeled my knife with polys. My husband suggested I give this a go mostly because in rendering everything gets converted to poly’s anyways.
I focused on keeping contiguous edges and nice clean low rez geometry as in school we were told that good geometry is important but were never really shown what good geometry looks like.
On this screen shot the chain I made isn’t on yet. I used an animation snap shot to create a linked chain. I’ll talk more about that in my final post after I apply some textures to the model. I’ll also add a picture of the geometry later as well.
I gotta say I’ve been having a excellent time with this tutorial. I’ve even picked up a few things that I didn’t know where possible. Like selecting a face and then selecting an edge and using wedge face. It’s good for making corners. :D
