    [Q]: I could not figure out fundamentally the proper use of Mat Cap. Do you have any explaination video?

  • Shawn Blanch(blanchsb)

    [Q] rryzen7 had a good question on Matcaps and how to use them effectively t o help you in a workflow. Is there a good resource to learn more about them?

    blanchsb I hate it because I can have mesh that looks PERFECT with every other matcap, but that one just heartlessly reveals the imperfections. It's a cold and cruel matcap.

The mega collaboration cannot be stopped ✊

Our 3D backhoe model is progressing quickly toward the final product. Progressing past the initial block out stages, we're starting to finalize the hard-surface pieces of the machine. In part 4, I'd like to cover the creation of hydraulic lines (like I said I would last time), answer any questionable modeling situations like in part 3, and / or simply model in real time for an hour or two. However given that I'm predicting this a month away, these topics are subject to change.
