Pizza Time Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Hey, guys, I'm wondering if you can help me smooth some models out. I struggle with making the models smooth and less cracked. I'm in a time crunch as I'm working on an animation series, so any help would be great. I just need the models smoothed out. Thank you! the models are down below. Half Heads (smooth).mdl Edited December 22, 2023 by Pizza Time forgot to include the model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustme Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It looks like you could benefit from the Basic Splinemanship tutorials located here. There are quite a few spline continuity issues. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Birn's book, Digital Lighting and Rendering (on Amazon here) is the best overall lighting resource. Robert did some comparisons with his methods in A:M in the thread located here. Rodger Reynolds (profile here) is someone whose posts on the forum have great information on mechanical modeling and lighting. The Technical Reference has a lot of great information in it....download it here. Yves Poissant has a lot of great lighting information in some of his postings (profile here) Hope some of that helps.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 26, 2023 Hash Fellow Share Posted December 26, 2023 Lighting is a whole topic in itself. Perhaps if you brought a shot to LAT we could look at economical ways to light it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half Heads (smooth).mdl 340.16 kB · 4 downloads Here are some really good tutorials on basic splining: Mark Largent also did a really good comic book style tutorial, I'll have to dig around and see if I can find it. @largento Mark, do you have a link to that comic book splining tutorial you did? I think I have a copy somewhere but it might take me a while to find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
