Your tutorials are always excellent, but I am having trouble with this one. I end up with something that looks very much like the column in the tutorial, but when I bake it I end up with a sphere, and the “import as sculpty” command in Blender does not work either, it appears to create an empty mesh. Do I need to apply the modifiers before baking or something?
Thanks,
Matt
oddly enough, I did this again on my PC and it worked perfectly. Not sure what might have happened but it is ok now!
I’m having a slightly different problem than Xin. I applied the crease and that works, but when I switch from Simple to Catmull… I get wrinkling in the edges of the main column. I’ve gone back and started from scratch five times now and it always ends up this way.
Here’s an example:
Wonderful tutorials which are really helping me understand Blender. Would you expand your tutorials to include building a 3D model based on a 2D 3-view imported as a background? I am trying to learn how to create a 3D aircraft model.
Excellent, that is exactly what I had missed. Thanks!
Great tutorial, the only problem I am having is that when I change from Simple Subdiv to Catmull-Clark, the entire object changes, losing the edges of the square at the top. Any suggestions?
At 3:50 of the video timeline i grab the top of the column and crease it completely to “1″ (highest crease value) Unfortunately you can not clearly see that in the vid. Although it is mentioned as a textline. This Crease appears to do nothing, but it later avoids the smoothing of the edges when you switch to Catmull-Clark…
This is a tut for novice? Oh my God, I would like to be a “novice” with such a possibilities to understand it!
Another excellant tutorial Gaia ,although i miss that voice,unless i looked before you dubbed it lol
