Dreidel toy: Modeling

Christopher Tyler Nov, 21st 2015 5 Comments
This tutorial models a small game object called a dreidel. It specifically focuses on how to model the bottom rounded part, using 3 different approaches. One method shows the use of the Hull modeling function, using Adobe Illustrator bezier curves as the starting point. The use of deformation lattices as part of the modeling process is also shown.

Model, UV map and apply a bitmap label to a wristband type object

Christopher Tyler Sep, 14th 2015 0 Comments
This modeling, UV mapping, and texturing tutorial shows how to model a simple wristband type object using polygon modeling and subdivision surfaces. It then walks through the process of UV mapping it so a texture can be applied in a controlled and precise manner.
