modeling - Is blender actually useable for engineering? - Blender …
May 24, 2016 · I can recommend Blender for modeling objects to which you already know their design and parameters and you are sure the shape is mostly final (like modeling your living room or a part that broke and you need to 3D print it). Good for organic modeling through sculpting too. Blender is an app designed for animation studios and entertainment industry.
Where are some places to get reference images for modeling?
Jun 2, 2015 · 4. My first choice is usually the internet. A Google image search on the keyword phrase "medieval weapons" brings up a large number of internet images of pikes, bow, battle axes, and others. While these are not plans or dimensioned drawings for the most part, a valuable skill for a modeler is the ability to determine reasonable dimensions from ...
modeling - How to model effectively using exact measurements?
May 24, 2013 · Create an edge with that length. Position the 3D cursor on one of the vertices of the edge. Set the pivot centre to be on the 3D cursor. (important) Rotate the edge: (select the edge, hit R, hit (X, Y, or Z for axis) and type in the angle to rotate on that axis) , then Enter to finalize. Rinse and repeat until all axis of that edge are dealt with.
modeling - When and when not to use subdivsion surfaces?
Jul 5, 2018 · 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.
modeling - Which blender version you recommend for absolute …
Aug 26, 2022 · I will start with V3.2.2 (sadly there are few tutorials but hopefully V3.0 & V3.2 & 3.2.2 UI are the same in order not to get lost while watching V3.0/V3.2 tutorials. – DaSoliman. Aug 27, 2022 at 11:39. @DaSoliman Everything below 3.0 is outdated anyway regarding Geometry Nodes, so tutorials don't make much sense.
When should N-Gons be used, and when shouldn't they?
Jul 20, 2017 · 60. Honestly in my opinion, NGons should never be present in a final model. Every artist will have slightly different opinions on this but here is my take. When NGons are okay. On completely flat surfaces. As a temporary holding surface that will later be replaced with clean quads. When NGons are not okay.
Modeling vs Sculpting when to use? - Blender Stack Exchange
2. I'd say that modeling should be used to actually 'setup' the model, while sculpting is for making the details in the model. This because, as you said, modeling is more precise, and you'd probably want precision in your models, (also you can use a mirror modifier if you want symmetry) and after that, say you're making a tree or something, you ...
modeling - Explain N-poles and E-poles? - Blender Stack Exchange
Mar 6, 2019 · E-poles or E xtrude poles are the most common pole type and consist of five edges intersecting at a single vertex. E-poles are most notorious for appearing when extruding faces on a mesh and for forming unwanted flat “corners” within the topology when edge loops meet or turn. E-poles are also what form concave corners in hard surface models.
modeling - What is the ideal topology for a shoulder joint?
May 29, 2013 · 23. The key with shoulder topology is to represent the deltoid muscle well and to separate the arm mesh from the body. The exact topology will depend on your subject. Most of the time every model will have slightly different topology. For example, a muscular male will need far more dense and defined topology than a slim female.
modeling - What does "Baking" mean? - Blender Stack Exchange
Jul 27, 2014 · Texture baking. Baking could mean that you calculate specified data, and save it to a texture, which then you use in your material. The purpose of baking is to save in render times, because Blender recalculates all shadows, lighting and what not, every single frame, which results in a lot of time wasted time for long animations.
