آموزش CGCookie - Sculpting a Sci-Fi Weapon

 

In this Citizen series weandrsquo;ll take a beautiful piece of sci-fi concept art by Tim Von Rueden and realize the weapon in 3D with Blenderandrsquo;s sculpting toolset. Iandrsquo;ll show you how to quickly generate a base mesh with the skin modifier and how to approach your sculpt with hard surface techniques. By the end youandrsquo;ll be an expert with brushes like Polish, Crease, and Pinch! Why Sculpting instead of Modeling? If youandrsquo;re like me, you welcome the more artistic approaches to digital art. Granted sculpting is not appropriate for every hard surface task. For example something like a wooden crate or coffee table makes more sense to model traditionally. However in the case of some complex hard-surface shapes, like this futuristic firearm, it can be easier for an artist to achieve the right forms with brushes instead point-pushing. The sweeping curves and angles make this object a prime candidate for hard surface sculpting.
