Introduction to Hard Surface Modeling

Overview

“We continue to learn how to correctly add support edges for subdivision.”

In this video lesson Victoria Passariello Fontiveros addresses the topic: Support edges for subdivision II, which is part of the Domestika online course: Introduction to Hard Surface Modeling. Learn the techniques and tools to make robots using polygonal-design programs like Maya and 3ds Max.

Partial transcription of the video

“SUPPORT ARISES FOR SUBDIVISION I will start adding support edges as the first time to a relatively simple piece. For example this one. The first thing I should do is add a TurboSmooth on top, as we see, the whole piece is deformed, It softens so much that it looks like a stuffed animal, What we want is to look like a rigid piece. So, we have to start adding support edges little by little, near each of the edges to give it that rigidity we want. We start here, I'm going to add a loop of support edges near this edge and near this edge. Look, here I have it, two edges One on each side. As I ex...”
