What exactly is "hard surface modelling"? - Blender Stack Exchange
2018年1月26日 · 1. There are two main types of modeling: hard body and soft body. Hard body modeling: inorganic hard objects like a desk, building, or bicycle. Soft body modeling: often organic like a character. Something like a car is somewhere in between the two with hard straight lines and flowing smooth curves. Share.
modeling - When and when not to use subdivsion surfaces?
2018年7月5日 · 1. Using subsurf will subdivide the existing geometry allowing you to create smother curved surfaces. If you are not dealing with curves (what you call "hard surfaces") subsurfing will only result in extra processing time and will increase memory usage.
Keep sharp edges when using subdivision surface
2020年6月10日 · Use Creases (Shift E): Weighted edge creases for subdivision surfaces allows you to change the way Subsurf subdivides the geometry to give the edges a smooth or sharp appearance. The crease weight of selected edges can be changed using Transform Properties (N) and change the Median Transform slider. A higher value makes the edge “stronger ...
Do I need a subdivision modifier to create a hard-surfaced object
2018年4月24日 · "Hard surface look" doesn't really mean anything specific. In 3D modeling hard surface is simply anything machine made or man made as opposed to organic that is grown or shaped by nature in a non-orderly fashion. Your model is already looking like a …
Best strategy for complex hard-surface sculpt retopology
2020年6月27日 · It has many curves, as well as many flat surfaces. There are also "seams" that are supposed to indicated paneling. I have tried my usual methods that I use during my character creations (mirror+sub-surf+shrink wrap (if needed)), and have been unsuccessful all 5 times I have done this. The closest I have gotten was modeling the panels separately ...
Reducing hard surface topology - Blender Stack Exchange
2019年5月10日 · 3. You could use Checker Deselect and Dissolve Edges to get rid of this kind of pattern. Select an Edge Ring. (Click Edge with Alt + Shift) Choose Select > Checker Deselect. Set Parameters to Nth Selection = 2, Skip = 2, Offset = 0. Hit X for the Delete Menu and choose Dissolve Edges. Share.
What is the best way to model the intersection of multiple hard …
2018年12月8日 · What is the best way to model the intersection of multiple hard-surface objects? Not technically different "objects" persay - but where different pieces meet visually. What are various ways of achieving this, and which ones are good for which use cases? Curved surfaces, insets of other pieces, panels, etc.
Hard surface modeling - How to model engraved lines?
2021年3月6日 · Method 1 - Split Vertices. Such engraved lines can be created by splitting vertices and using the Solidify and Bevel modifier. The vertices of edges can be split manually in Edit mode (V + Enter) or mark them as Sharp and use the Split Edge modifier. The vertices around the circle are split manually, the others are marked as sharp.
Confusion while Hard Surface modeling the Spaceship
2022年2月5日 · Here are some ways you could model segments like this in Blender. A. Checker select, inset, simple deform with a "twist". Create a cylinder with quite a few subdivisions Select the edge loops and press F3 to search for checker select, and then inset some of the loops with the I quick key. Size them down.
Hard surface modeling on cylinder - Blender Stack Exchange
This is demonstrated by this simple circle: You can start from a higher resolution cylinder to make those glitches less apparent. The higher the resolution of the base mesh, the less that glitch is visible: Note: The mesh density at the part where you want to use the pointyness is important, other loop cuts may be removed.
