Title: Third or fourth model with SubD modeling (Updated 1/17/08)
Post by: Unknown Target on December 30, 2007, 03:56:22 pm: Hey everyone, just "aquired" modo, been playing around with sub division modeling, my first time ever :) This is what I've got on the third or fourth attempt.

Not that great but I felt like showing it off :D

If I could model like that, I'd have over half my mod done by now. :(

Post by: Dysko on January 01, 2008, 07:10:10 am: Hmm... that fighter... is it based on something or does it come from your mind? I think I've already seen something similar somewhere, but I don't remember where...

BTW, nice models :yes:

Post by: Gortef on January 02, 2008, 06:02:38 am: That face doesn't look that bad, maybe a bit displeased but only on the one where the whole body is showing. Maybe you could check out the upper lip area, that's the only place that "bothers" me...

Post by: redsniper on January 03, 2008, 12:47:29 pm: You need to learn about poles and edge loops and such, but you're still off to a dang good start. Also, WTF is modo?

These might be useful:

Post by: Unknown Target on January 03, 2008, 10:20:14 pm: Thank you :) And yea, I'll keep learning :)

Modo was started when some Lightwave engineers broke off from the people who made Lightwave - so it works pretty similar to LW, although much easier to use (IMO, anyway).

Thanks for the links, btw :)

Post by: Raven2001 on January 04, 2008, 06:18:30 am: Auch! you really need to work on your topology. :P

You have to get rid of tris and n-gons in deformation areas (they can exist there, but thats for more experienced folks on the SubD subject), as well as poles.

Also, the edgeloop lines need to follow the contours of the anatomy.

Heres a nice topic about edgeflow\topology:

http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=108412

Good thing is you can learn from one of the best (Steven Stahlberg), who does use tris and n-gons. Like I said, you can use tris and n-gons in your Sub-D model, but you have to know your way around on how the affected areas will react to deformation.

Hope that helps to get you goin :)
