Contributor 3d_sculptress Posted May 8, 2011 Contributor Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 if you sculpted it, it would be more realistic in close-ups, especially, cause of the shadows/depth it would then have,,so just depends on if you want it to look real or not, imo..... you can give it a realistic look with displacement maps, but some programs/render engines don't play well with displacement maps,,so if you sculpted it, then the displacement maps wouldn't be a prob to have to worry with.

philnolan3d Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I bet you could sculpt the tab pretty quickly using some primitives and retopo it. Here's a reference pic: I spent about 15 mins on this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philnolan3d Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 BTW if you're interested I thought it would be fun to make a tutorial for that pull tab. http://www.3d-coat.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=8076 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
