Modeling Nuts And Bolts

Hi again, people! Last week I was showing some renders and screenshots of me working on the method for modeling nuts and bolts, now it's time to finally go nuts and here it is the tutorial. In the first part, we're going through the modeling process of a nut. There may be better ways of modeling them, or joining the screw with the body, this is just the easier I found to explain and to show you some tips, tricks, and modeling techniques using other objects as references and measurements. In the second part, we'll use parts of the nut to model the bolt, put everything together and create a nice looking render. I Have Bolt Factory, Why Should I Bother Modeling Them By Hand? There is an add-on for generating very fast nuts & bolts, but they are not suitable for every situation. If you want to quickly add nuts and bolts to your scene, go ahead. However, be aware of the limitations: they tend to be really highpoly, and also not good for closeups, as the geometry is not optimized for subdivision. Learning how to model them by yourself has a lot of benefits: you'll learn a lot of modeling tricks, and you'll be able to create cool nuts and bolts that have not too many polygons and work great in close-up shots ! Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed the process!

For the first time, I wrote to you because there is something to tell and finally appeared a little bit of time. Leitmotiv today will be a topic like learning 3D animation. The point of no return disappeared behind three years ago. So a small group of dreamers, five years in the animation hobby, decided to make a profession out of it. Today it is almost three years old, and a dozen people produce 3D animation: children's series and advertising for computer games. And then, little understanding how to make cartoons, there were six people. The fact that we've never done 3D animation before, and the fact that no one gets the original composition, is a separate story. And today - about how, almost from scratch, an animation studio was created in Kazan, working entirely on free software.

So literally a month ago came the rendering of Cycles, who we coughed rashly to run for projects. It is now stable and almost all powerful, and t

Tangible and Modular Input Device for Character Articulation

Tangible and Modular Input Device for Character Articulation Articulation of 3D characters requires control over many degrees of freedom: a difficult task with standard 2D interfaces. We present a tangible input device composed of interchangeable, hot-pluggable parts. Embedded sensors measure the device’s pose at rates suitable for real-time editing and animation. Splitter parts allow branching to accommodate any skeletal tree. During assembly, the device recognizes topological changes as individual parts or pre-assembled subtrees are plugged and unplugged. A novel semi-automatic registration approach helps the user quickly map the device’s degrees of freedom to a virtual skeleton inside the character. User studies report favorable comparisons to mouse and keyboard interfaces. Our device provides input for character rigging and automatic weight computation, direct skeletal deformation, interaction with physical simulations, and handle-based variational geometric modeling.
