DOG-ZEBRA 0 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 i am trying to create some gear from scratch and up until now all my 3dsm creations have been fairly geometrical (weapons), could any of you seasoned modelers share some advice on making somthing along the lines of a back pouch and similar rounded-non-symmetrical objects. -thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SnowFella 8 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 One pretty easy way to do it is by using a standard plane and manipulate individual vertices untill you get the rounded shape you want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Argyll 1 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I create 3 d gear by using chamfer boxes etc,works and looks fine ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DOG-ZEBRA 0 Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 (edited) very impressive argyll. it had occured to me to use chamfer for the box like pouches, but its things like knee pads that are presenting me with the most problems. oh wait, is a chamfer box different from chamfering in edit mesh?

Argyll 1 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Yes it's different! Knee pads like thos in the pic are sphere's squashed,and the vertices adjusted to give them a bit more shape!....Why not use the default knee pad legs drom one of the chrs? such as Ramirez?

Sarc 0 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I've used the chamfer with the Edit Mesh before. It's a bit more specific if you need it to be. You can chamfer an edge instead of the entire object with chamfer box. Plus, you can apply it to other base objects like cylinders or sub objects like polygons or vertices.
