Mirroring in Modo CG Tips #01

EricWilliams — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:22:18 +0000

A first in hopefully a series specifically focused on work efficiency in Modo as opposed to how to model specific objects.

Mirroring tips video for off axis objects, for anyone that might find it useful. Using action center element and stretch to mirror any object at any orientation, most of the time.

How to model a tennis ball in Modo

In this video I basically talk about how to model the stripe into a tennis ball and how to get rid of the poles at the top and bottom of the sphere. I go over how to use action center/ center element to get the results. Unscripted in real time, so there’s lots of mistakes.

The first video of hopefully a video tutorial series on how to model objects.

Goblin

A goblin head sculpt started in Sculptris, a free program by Pixologic, makers of Zbrush. Concept referenced from The Fantasy Artist’s Figure Drawing Bible by Matt Dixon, amazing character artist.

I may come back to this after I finally finish my car and give him a body, armor, clothes ect.

Thanks for looking,
Eric

This post is always getting updated with more photos, so check the last photos on the list.

This is my model of a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse, referenced from 2 Fast 2 Furious. Still have to finish up the interior and a few other things likely won’t be 100% accurate.

I have some videos posted of some of the pieces on you youtube channel:

Rigging in Modo

EricWilliams — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 08:48:17 +0000

The Third Guild has put out a very informational video by Matt Cox on rigging in Modo. It’s the first of a series covering parenting and constraints on a tricycle.

This second video demonstrates a character rig in Modo put together by Matt. Although I don’t think Modo 501 has IK chains longer than 3 items, this character rig looks really good. It has all the controls you could ever want; knee pointers, eye pointers, FK/IK blending, foot roll controlls that control everything, and they are laid out nice.

Check out Matt’s blog for more videos and information.
