[WIPS_03e] Finding shapr very fast for this kind of thing, loving it.

@peteCdesign - super inspirational work. Been looking to crack hard-surface modeling for a bit now, and after seeing your work gave Shapr a shot, and it’s amazing. Do you have any workflow videos of yours on YouTube, Artstation, etc? Would kill to see a bit of your process in Shapr. Getting large f…

I’m not sure what kind of software you’d use to screen capture while working that would record video/audio and not create a file that was 200 gig, I’m sure there’s something out there, lots of people make those kinds of videos, I just haven’t researched it. I actually haven’t made any stamps or alp…

one thing I’d suggest is to select a face and use the ‘offset edge’ tool to make a shape you can indent in, I seem to do that allot to detail stuff up

@peteCdesign - curious what your very general flow is for taking this from Shapr3D model to render. Are you exporting a particular format to any particular program? (e.g. OBJ to Maya) I’m starting to have some completed models that I want to texture, light, and then render out - but quick messing …

right now I export to .STL, it seems to export much cleaner than obj, then bring it into blender. Right click on the model and select shaded display, then go to modifiers, ad a decimate modifier, at about .3 or .2, then down to normals, tick auto-smooth (I think it’s called that) then set the normal…

actually now it occurs to me, if you’re a maya guy maybe just bring the .STL direct into maya and process it there, if it allows you to do that? I mess around in blender because max does not seem to do .STL well. I guess the take away from all this is export to .STL not .OBJ

Absolutely stunned by these images, both the modelled and the rendered @peteCdesign - the detail and cleanliness of the forms is a pleasure to look at! I wish you great success in what must surely be your career?!
