#102

I just want more

#103

It’s good to see you’re still alive and kicking Dave :slight_smile: I’ll watch this during the lunchbreak at work… I miss modeling stuff, all I do these days are lowpoly environments… Ah well, you’ll probably inspire me enough to get going with my robot lady again :slight_smile: (She’s all modeled up now, just need a scene)

Take care man and shoot me an email, I is missing you :wink:

#104

Superb!:slight_smile:

waitning for next part…

#105

nice video !! THX !!

#106

hey Thanks,
great workflow!
have you written a tuturial I can find somewhere? I really have alot to learn from you.

#107

Wow, guys, thanks so much you all your kind words! Equinoxx, I can’t believe you actually plugged this. Thanks! Sniff…my first front page plug…sniff…

Well, I’ve read through everyone’s replies, and I’m blown away by all the support. I’m really stoked that this could be of use to you guys. I’ve gotten alot of email and PMs about a few things, so I’ll address those here and in my first post.

  1. The lighting setup I used in the tut is one I created a while back to provide fast but pretty lighting to make things look cooler than they are so that would be more inspired to keep modeling. It’s a bunch of omnis and a spot. The lighting has “ignore extents” on so that it does’nt get in the way, and then when I import it, I just globally hide all lights. You can toggle their display on and off in the viewport by use the keyboard shortcut “ctrl-l”. I’ve zipped up the file and hosted it on my site. You can get it here:

  1. The script tools I have docked on the left side of my screen are:

CSPoly Tools
Meshtools
Polymagus 2.0 beta

All available at:

www.scriptspot.com

Someone asked about the tool I used to bridge two edges together. That’s the “blend edges” tool in the Polymagus 2.0 script set.

I’ll be back on soon to answer everyone’s questions in more depth. Again, thanks a ton for all the encouragement and kind words.

:beer:

It’s amazing…

Great job

#109

Wow, this is nice. I never thought to use some of the tools (especially Chamfer) this way before.

It also inspired me to make a whole lot of new keyboard bindings. I don’t know why I haven’t made one for Edit Poly edge constraints yet.

I gotta give a big shout-out to Rens Heeren for all his efforts in making this release possible. He’s been hosting the video and giving away TONS of his bandwidth. I just wanted to publically thank him for all his kind help.

I’d also like to thank Filipe Deschamps of redpixel.com.br for the huge hand they have had in hosting this sucker.

Thanks guys!

If anyone else would like to help out by mirroring this video, please PM me!
