Smoothly Blending several angular objects

Christopher Tyler Jul, 14th 2016 1 Comment
This tutorial shows how to blend several objects together, to make them smoothly connect in order to create one object which can be 3D printed. It specifically shows how to control the blending between objects such that the bridge function can be used to create connecting geometry. This connecting geometry is then formed and molded to create the smoothly blended interconnections.

Creating embossed type on a UV mapped object

Christopher Tyler Jul, 12th 2016 0 Comments
This UV mapping and texturing tutorial shows how to create embossed text on the wavy object created in a previous tutorial. This tutorial shows why UV mapping the texture placement is superior to using a projection mapping type such as planar or cylindrical mapping.
