This stream is part of the June 2018 Class: Vehicle Modeling with Blender
Vehicle modeling is pure hard surface modeling. Therefore it's important to be proficient with general polygon modeling techniques. This first week, we're ramping into this particular modeling skillset to prepare us for the vehicle modeling extravaganza to come!
QUESTION: do booleans tend to use/leave triangular polygons?
it's veeeeery convenient for kit-bashing
booleans is more an engineer approach, and hard-ops is what makes the workflow the closest to nurbs modelling
Kent, hardops is like sculpting. you need lowpoly for it (if doing game assets) :)
Plating generator on the BM
Meshmaster and box cutter
QUESTION: Is a boolean workflow the same as constructive-solid-geometry?
hardops works very well for game models too. though obviously will need lowpoly for actual game asset.
still keep getting the booleans the wrong way around and have to go with trial and error each time :)
What about Mesh Machine?
