Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder time lapse modeling #02 stick shift

Stiches please..

Man respect!

I must ask. What settings do you use to rotate the selection on the sphere 90 degrees? I think I have tried all and it never really aligns up with the reast of the ball. I posted a videoanswer so you can see.

[Olorintube]

Ok. Maybe it will be a total bore to do a new video of the same. But perhaps you could make a video of making a tennisball using the same technique? I thought it would be a no brainer for me as a newbie, but apparently not.

[new2lw]

@Olorintube Not a bore at all, just don't know when I'll get around to it. I'll try to get a real time video of just the ball within the next week, no promises. Do you need the stitches?

[Olorintube]

@new2lw No I don't need the stitches. What I do "need" is to find a clever way of layering longer strands of fur about a layer of shorter fur to create a realistic tennisball, but that is a different story. Funny that I thought I started with something totally basic and bombed, huh?

[Olorintube]

I see, but I really want to understand what is going on cause I have found no other tutorial for modeling a tennisbass with seams and I just can not keep up here. I spent a long time trying to figure out what happends in seconds 27-29 when the first attempt goes from ball to "cheese" and back to ball agian. I would be very useful for me if you could post a normalspeed video of those seocnds and the later the part there you split and weld the sphere. And please don't crop out the tools menues.

[new2lw]

@Olorintube My screen cap skills are still a work in progress. My newer videos capture the whole screen but my desktop resolution doesn't allow 16:9 so I have grey areas on the side instead of cropping, except the file menu but I rarely go there unless I'm digging for a tool or changing preferences. I found some interesting options to change video speed, I'll link it in my description. I think I deleted the original to this video so what you see is what you get unless I re-record it.

[new2lw]

@Olorintube I'm looking at it now...took me a min I couldn't remember. But I'm pretty sure I ran the smooth tool to test if it would smooth to a more sphere like shape, it didn't so I manually moved the edges and points to make it look more round.

[new2lw]

@Olorintube The rest of the building of the ball is splitting and welding repeatedly, I've left all my screw ups and tests in there. This really isn't a step by step on how to do it the right way. If you know the tools in your software you should be able to emulate what you see. Is there a specific part that confuses you? Tell me the time and I'll try to explain it.

[Olorintube]

@new2lw Well, as it is I decided to buy Modo and learn it a few days ago so I can not say I know the tools yet :) I made a ball, copied that section, rotated it and tried to delete polygons and dragweld, but my dragweld does not weld anything at all. Is there some funky settings for it?

[Olorintube]

Jikes! this is a totally blur of commands, slow down and this would be an awesome tutorial.

[new2lw]

@Olorintube I've been wondering if I should slow it down, I've been posting most of my modeling sessions on the car and I don't want to post so many that it bores people or takes to long but I don't want them to be so fast people can't get anything out of it >.<

Very nice! :D
