I M M S ! !

instantiate & mirror & merge & subdividing

from now on there will be four words

original , inst , merged , subdiv

it is objects' name ! don't be misunderstood

 

 

2. detail modeling

 

 

1. instantiate & mirror

 

. freeze all transformation

. instantiate original

. scale inst by x = -1

 

2. merge & subdivision

 

. merge original and inst like below



then you will have polymesh. rename it by merged

subdivide merged like below (this is what roger rosa call mode 1)



. hide inst and merged then what you see is original and subdiv

 

at this time you will check what you were doing in explorer and schematic view

notice the relation among four objects in schematic view

  

 

but they are overlapped in the viewport

it is hard to tag and move points to adjust original

therefore original needs to be viewed as wireframe

what you need to do is two things

 

1. select original

model > property > display



 

2. untoggle override object properties



 

3. layer

 

what we are going to do is adjusting the point in original in tag mode ,

so inner object (subdiv) doesn'have to be selected



 

. select the subdiv

, create new layer   ( layer pannel > new layer  )



 

. name the new layer by sbd

 

you will check this in explorer (press L)



. press 6 to open layer control pannel

toggle or untoggle like below , now you can preview by dragging Q interactively



 

Ok . well done



when your are satisfied

. delete inst

then merged and subdiv will be deleted also ( cause it is related )

 

what you need is reasonalbly subdivided original

 

1. instantiate and mirror original ( don't forget to freeze before instantiate original )

2. merge the two and rename it as final merge

spread the final merge in explore and open the geometry approximaton property

(this is what roger rosa call mode 2)





polygonmesh tab > tweak mesh subdivision level (1 or 2 )

 

At last it is finished !

However, why didn't we use method of mode 1 instead of mode  2

it is because texture propagation

In mode 2 method if original is textured , automatically texture is propagated to subdivided objects ,which in mode 1 is impossible

But in mode 2 it has two kinds of subdvision rulei, that is catmull clark and doo sabin,

and objects can be selectable and adjustable which in mode 2 impossible

for more information roger rosa

 

Anyway

after adding texture

and basic 3 lighits
