Blender Phails

[Mikey]

So I decided that trying to skin models in Blender was way to complex without knowlege of the program.

So I decided to learn how to model BEFORE I learn how to skin.

I made a shroom I intend on using as a mapmodel in my Going Green map. But I don't know how to skin it XD

Did anyone else think it said "Blender Phallus"?
That's a lot of polygons! O_o

[Mael]

Yea holy shit lol. The stem should probably be 3-sided, the plume hexagonal.

[Ronald_Reagan]

A good skinner can make triangles looks more like circles! Or planes look like stairs!

[Mikey]

I thought so. But I was trying to make it look nice for posting XD Since I can't skin it yet.

Once I figure out the skinning I'll set it down a notch.

Look into uv mapping.

[Mr.Floppy]

I thought I'd linked this one already in one of your threads, but I'm not sure, therefore:

Modelling Basics, with links to all required software-tools! ;)

[Duckett]

At least you figured out the modeling part :).

[Viper]

Unwrap it in UV mapping... Then check a_slow_old_mans thread about blender...

xD a lot of polygons but did you just select and move the top face of a cylinder and then put a half sphere on top? :)

[Duckett]

I can't even do crap on this PC, I'm not at my house, and Blender isn't downloaded.

Phallus ehy?

[Mikey]

Nope. I made a tower of Squares and subsurf'd them, then tilted it over to the side, by selecting and moving, then I spun a shape and placed it on top XD
I took the hard way out.


@Mr.Floppy. I know all of that. What I don't know is the specifics of opening images and painting. I can unwrap it, but when I load a image, the 2d wireframe disappears and is replaced by the image. And then in texture paint, I can only color in single. colors instead of patterns. I think I need a more in depth tutorial.

Mikey: Don't do subsurf modelling if you model for games.

[Mikey]

Okydoke. That makes sense with the quads and all.
Thank makkE
