can anyone tell me where to find the old concept car tutorial that was on ZClassroom before? It had some workflow tips for creating smooth edge flows around polygroup islands that I need to remember how to do.
A link to the tuts or reference to this technique would be much appreciated
I haven’t seen that tutorial around latley, but essentially what you do is polypaint with the RGB switch on and intensity set to 100. Make sure you fill your ZTool with a color i.e. white and then paint with another color where you want your edge loops to be. Your tool cannot have a subdivision history so you must delete higher or lower subdivisions before doing this operation.
Go to: Tool> Polygroup> From Polypaint; that will create polygroups from the your polypaint. Go to: Tool> Geometry> Edgeloop> and press the Grouploops button. That will convert you polygroups to edgeloops. There are also some adjustment parameters to the right of the Grouploops button.
When you are done you can simply fill the tool with white again.
I hope this helps.
Hey, thanks Dlangley. that does help. I did find the grouploops eventually but had forgotten the capability of converting polypaint colors to polygroups. Good stuff
I do wish some of the previous tutorials could be left in some archive repository on ZClassroom. It is easier to go back to a previous reference point for clarity on a procedure than to wade through all the new material to see if it’s covered somewhere else.
