CX Advanced, CX UV Mapping, CX Version 7.5 Specific, Design 3D CX

This 7.5 UV mapping tutorial walks through the process of UV mapping a chair seat using 3 different approaches (direct conform, using planar projection, using BurnUV 'Use Box' option). These 3 approaches demonstrates different ways of dealing with topological challenges in a given model.

Modeling a snorkel mask, Part 1

Christopher Tyler Oct, 27th 2013 5 Comments

CX Advanced, CX Modeling, CX Version 7.5 Specific, Design 3D CX

This modeling tutorial walks through the creation of the first part of a snorkel mask. It uses polygon modeling and subdivision surfaces with emphasis on the use of bridge, custom grids and guides to facilitate the joining of different topological regions.
