yes Cyann : je me suis mis à Wings depuis que j’ai vu ta machoire sur vocanson… merci, ce soft ‘gratuit’ est géant : léger, simple et direct.
But how did you made differents pipes ?? lot of extrude or is there a way to do it more easily ??
Great Model… like usually it isn’t soft which make artist :wink:

yaaaaa thanks…
It make me pleasure you like it. :wink:

Hahahahahahah LOL Mick… I’m creazy boy, but not as crazy as made pipe with extrude section one by one. (hmmm no you are right, for the back of the brain I make that, but it’s organic modeling.)
No no I use blender (bezier curve and bevel) to make simple pipe.
After, I subdivide there, and select one on two face loop, extrude, and enjoy.

ok, i downloaded Blender, but i couldnt even figure out how to do anything, I found Import Wings 3D, but then, trying to find the file is hard, cause it tells me to put in the exact location of the file, and the file is saved on my Desktop in a Folder. So i dont know how to use Blender at all… :sad:

Don’t worry, be happy…
OK to load your file when clicking on import .wings one of the window will switch to a file browser. Use the P buttonto go to the root of your disk(or the “…”, which you can double click or middle click to activate) the go in document and setting -> your name -> desktop -> your folder and open you wings file by double click or middle click.
in any case, you don’t need to enter the path by hand.

you canno do repeat taper so sadly it’s not possible to use taper to do so.
but anyway this steps for regular taper:
do the follow:
1-Add a bezier curve in add >> curve menu.
2-switch to edit window with F9
3-click the 3D button on the Curve and surface panel. This will enable you to curve it in all direction.
4-quit editmode (TABKEY)
5-add a bezier circle in curve enu again.
6-quit editmode again.
7-Reselect your curve.
8-In curve and surface, in the BevOb textfield, type in “CurveCircle”. <- case sensitive.
9-See you curve being wrapped with the circle, so you get a pipe.
10-add an other bezier curve like the first one.
11-in links and material panel change the name in the OB textfield for something easy, like “tape”.
12-reselect you pipe and enter the name “tape” in the TaperOb textfield so you use the previous curve.
13-reselect your “tape” curve and enter edit mode (TABKEY)
14-move handle arround and see the pipe moving.

Krall --> yep… blender have a lots of functionnality.
So don’t worry, and make tutorials :wink:

Gabio --> Yop okay I know that.
But it’s really boring to make taper with good repetitions.
And it’s not as clean as subdivide and extrude ;). The space between the cross section is not as regula.

But it’s cool for another thinks…
Thanks man for your reply :wink:

#18

ok, i imported my wings to blender, but I dont even know what tod o with Blender, i feel really stupid and frustraded… i hate being such an amature

#19

ha yeah.
3d is hard to learn… it’s a lot of work.

#20

How about a quick run down on how you made the brain ??? what wings3D tools were most used ???

#21

No I made the brain with sculpt mesh tool (script written by letterip here on elysiun thread)

After I used tweek tool of wings to tune points positions :wink: :bounce:

hmmmm I’m french, so I don’t understand “quick run down” :o :o can you explain please. :surprised

#22

Brief description or quick overview.

#23

Actually … I meant “quick low down”. But the meaning is the same I think.

Brief description. So you did this with a Blender plugin ???

#24

Hehe next part…
Evolution of the jaw :

And a little render… just for fun…

#25

Wow, pretty render CyaNn. :slight_smile: What did you use to render that?

#26

Hi blap, I’ve used cinema4d and some post produce treatment with photoshop. :scream:

#27

That render looks very cool… I like the subtle color shift from side to side…

great job on the models so far - very organic looking…

are the teeth separate objects or part of the head?

#28

Cool render. I supose that is a render style and not that you actually made a hole in every surface?

#29

No no, as I’ve explained, I used the atomic tool of cinema 4d to render this.
It create tubes for each edges of the wire. And a sphere for all points. :stuck_out_tongue:
