Creating a Pup Tent – part 1

cgcookie — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 07:46:05 +0000

In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at the complete workflow for modeling a pup tent in a style that was popular during the 1800s, in North America. This is a two-part tutorial, and in this part we’ll be using the Cloth simulator for the tarp of the tent, and also how to create the framing, stakes, knots, and ropes.

In the spirit of Halloween, today we will take you through the process of modeling a pumpkin. This tutorial uses a combination of mirror and lattice modifiers to create a model that can easily be shaped without disfiguring the original mesh.

Model a human hand

Modeling a human hand is a challenging task. Both to create a natural-looking hand and to create one with good topology. This tutorial is an effort to address both of those issues. In this tutorial you will learn how to model a human hand with some box modeling techniques with clean topology in blender.

In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at a built-in script called the Solidify Selection script. This script, created by Campbell Barton, will allow you to solidify a mesh by adding a second “skin” to it based on the selected geometry.

Assembling Objects
