My second attempt at modeling…the tree is a work in progress using the zspheres. Does anyone know how to get rid of the lines at joint areas? I’ve tried smoothing them out, but obviously didn’t work. Anyway thought I would share my progress. Just over 69000 polys.
when modeling z-spheres, look @ the preview a lot… if there is a crease move the zsphere a little so it doesnt intersect with another z-sphere. sometimes adding a sphere near connection points works too.
this a tree i made today
retouching was done in photoshop (making it look like an oil painting)
hope ya like it and keep up the good work )
i like your tree.
Thanks mindsculptor! I think I need to go ahead and redo this completely. I need more branches and I’ll pay special attention to those joint areas so they don’t create the dreaded lines. I appreciate your input and hopefully I’m on my way to improvements.
you can also drop the tool in projection master…then if you use the snake hookbrush you can make many more branches but the pic is now 2,5D so you cant pick it up anymore.
:lol:
ps watch the zsphere script in the help section, it also tells u how to avoid the creases and seems
