Metallic lettering, Part 1 (anisotropy and UV map setup)

Christopher Tyler Apr, 7th 2013 0 Comments
This UV mapping tutorial is the first part in a series dealing with metallic lettering. Part 1 deals with the material effect called anisotropy and how to set up the geometry’s UV’s to properly render the anisotropy. As part of the UV mapping process we discuss two conditions to watch for to produce effective unwraps (UV scale and seam position).

Using Ngons and direct polygon meshes for rendering

Christopher Tyler Apr, 1st 2013 5 Comments
This modeling tutorial shows how to model the faceplate of an electronic device without using subdivision surfaces. Instead direct polygon modeling, starting with Illustrator bezier curve data, is used to create high resolution polygon meshes. It focuses on using complex ngons.
