Quick Modeling of a Drill Bit
This tutorial shows how to model a quick drill bit using circles, conversion of objects into 2D Bézier regions, editing Bézier regions and the Skin tool. The idea is to create the groove of the bit by doing an indentation on a modified circle and then replicating the...
Projection Textures and the Local Z Axis (SE/CX)
This texturing tutorial for beginners shows how projected materials (cubic, cylindrical, spherical, planar, decal) are oriented to an object. This can help to understand why a material is behaving in a certain way, especially for cubic mapped materials. It was...
Modeling a teapot spout (SE-partial/CX)
This modeling tutorial shows how to use the Skin tool to create a teapot spout. It also shows how to convert this to a 3D bezier surface, perform some bezier editing on this surface, then finally convert to a polygon mesh. The final polygon mesh is edited and then has...
