nino banano Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I think you can model it faster, just model the right/left side, then copy/paste flip in x axis and then join it, this way works well for me...greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I think you can model it faster, just model the right/left side, then copy/paste flip in x axis and then join it, this way works well for me...greetings There are dozens of good reasons for doing it this way... or perhaps I should say for making the left side the mirrored image of the right side and the above is the absolute best way to accomplish this as it cuts the modeling by 50%. Same with the bones! The main reason beside cutting the work by half is that dozens of cool tools and plug-ins require this (mirror smart skin, mirror bones, mirror splines, mirror mode, paste mirrored, and so on). I routinely delete the left side of my model and then do copy/flip/attach just to make sure the splines/bones are mirrored exactly. There are reasons for making the left side slightly different then the right side -- it has to be this way for some reason, you just don't want the left to be exactly like the right -- however, the advantages of keeping the model mirrored while developing it makes it good sense to make these changes when the model is complete. I love the character you doing! Good luck! Rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeSlice Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 There are reasons for making the left side slightly different then the right side -- it has to be this way for some reason, you just don't want the left to be exactly like the right -- however, the advantages of keeping the model mirrored while developing it makes it good sense to make these changes when the model is complete. If you want your model a little asymmetrical, create the asymmetry in a pose and set the pose to 100% in the Model's User Properties so the pose is activated by default. Then if you ever have to go back and work on the model, you can still use all the nice tools that require a symmetrical mesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtaz Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Nice design ... I suggest you to start with the eye´s hole... then extrude it then part of it ...basically you will model your gecko using the extrude tool .. using this method and your rotoscope I modeled this head in 5 minutes... I attached the model if you want to use as reference gecko_head.mdl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbenefi33 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Sorry for asking but whats the different between Asymmetrical and Symmetrical ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeSlice Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Sorry for asking but whats the different between Asymmetrical and Symmetrical ? Symmetrical = both sides are identical Asymmetrical = each side is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
