organic modeling Flashcards
What is box modelling
starting with a primitive shape and modifying it to get the shape you need
what is edge modelling
starting with a single edge and extruding it to get the shape you need
what is box modelling typically used for
hard surface modelling
what is edge modelling typically used for
organic modelling
do you have to use just box modelling or edge moulding for a model
no, you can switch between them as the task demands different techniques
what mode of the edge loop tools allows for edge loops to be equally spaced across your model
Multiple Edge Loops
How can you save time on symmetrical models
only model one side, and then mirror it
where can you find the symmetry options for the tool you are using
tool options>symetry settings
What does snap to the surface do
makes all edited geometry snap to the surface of a given object
how can you activate snap to the surface
select the surface you want to snap to and hit the furthest right snap button
how can you tell which surface is being snapped to by snap to the surface
it will show the name of the object in the text box to the right of the snap to surface button
where can symmetry be quickly turned on and off
in the dropdown menu to the right of the snapping options
whats a quick and dirty way to sort out the bad topology
using the relax sculpting brush
What is Component Cordinate space
it is based around the selected geometry, allowing parts of the mesh to be easily moved along their normals
what is the best way to find imperfections in the surface of an object
look at it tangentialy
how can you stop the scale maniplulator from going negitive
hold down R , click and select prevent negative scale
how can you smooth the mesh while sclupting
hold shift
how do you invert a sculpting brush
hold controll while you sculpt
how are the sculpting tools organised
from most used to least
whats a good way to back up your work so you don’t skrew it up down the line
make duplicates of the mesh at the end of each major step
how can i view both the surfaces and the wireframe of the mesh
select the wireframe on shaded viewport shading option from the menu above the viewport
what is the danger of navigating while you have the move tool selected
you can end up moving the mesh rather than your view
how can i slide a selection along the models surface
use the slide tool in Moddeling Toolkit > Transform Constraints > Edge Slide
What does symetrise do
copy the geometry on one side over to the other side to make a symetrical mesh
