CX Animation, CX Beginner, CX Modeling

Meld –formerly known as Metaballs– is a modeling command that enables us to merge two or more objects (spheres or polygon meshes) into a single object with a "liquid" appearance. We shall see how to use it and some interesting properties thereof.

Modeling a beveled inset on an architectural element

Christopher Tyler Jul, 30th 2012 1 Comment

CX Modeling, CX Version 7 Specific, Design 3D CX

This modeling tutorial shows how to model a decorative inset for an architectural element. It shows how to use polygon modeling and subdivision surfaces to generate a shape that is relatively easy to produce yet has some important technical detail that need to be done well and accurately.
