HowTo: Create a "shell like " cube - with magic ring ---- 2005-07-06 - By Kris Krieger
Back
Ugh, I'm using Outlook for the time being - I thoroughly detest it, can't
figure out how to insert reply in between quotes. Plus I keep getting mails
bounced by the list because they supposedly exceed 250 lines - might be
something outlook is doing? I've had to cut out all quoted text...
At any rate:
As David noted, the Magic Ring funtions are interesting and can be very useful.
I use them for more complex details that I'll add to buildings, but I think it
'd be ionteresting to try out his Hollow Cube method.
One thing about modeling buildings is that I'm generally not satisfied with the
razor-sharp edges that one gets from the using the stright cube as a starting
point - in the real world, even the hardest edges are still not razor-sharp.
David's method might be a way to remedy that, so he's given me some ideas to
try.
At the same time, I've also been playing a lot with the Fillet <?> tool, which
is an intereting thing as well.
One would think that modeling buildings might be boring as opposed to modeling
characters, but I have yet to find it so <G!> It seems there is always
something new to try ;) . ((Like, I keep hoping I'll eventually get good
enough at it to try to earn a few $$ doing it <G!> )) But I've in no way
exhausted the possibilities of the Magic Ring.
Another interesting thing is to combine MR objects with Mesh Forge. Neat way
to make sculptural shapes, vases, and the like ;) .
Later,
- Kris
