Member proflooney Posted August 16, 2010 Member Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Guys I am wanting to make some filigree type wristbands which would be basically made from wire. I have no real idea abt voxel thing other than the rough one I get from the video explaining it. I am thinking that I need to use voxels to make what I need. the other question is would I bring my model in for a base, then add a layer and draw them on another layer? I want them as a seperate part. the last question is I am assuming once finished I can export them as OBJ files? thanks Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes voxels would be good for this. Especially the Curves tool would be very good for it. Yes it should be done on a separate layer to keep the objects separate. One idea could be too use the Curves tool to lay the design out flat, then use the Wrap tool to bend it around. And yes use File > Export to save it out as a LWO or OBJ. you will even get decimation options when exporting. You might like to read my tire tread tutorial that is stickied at the top of the tutorials section of the forum. It goes through the wrap tool and exporting.

I have never used anything but the retopo tool so I have to read up on voxel sculpting, but it sounded like the tool I was looking for.

philnolan3d Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Yes if you make a B&W drawing in Photoshop you could bring it in with the Logo tool just like I did the the tutorial I mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
