Some of the worlds most exciting 3D artists share their top tricks and pro tips to help you master modeling and become an all-round better artist

DVC emerged as a culmination of attempts made over a whole century to control the wild and erratic Damodar River. The valley has been ravaged frequently by floods at varying intensities. Serious floods occurred in 1730, 1823, 1848, 1856, 1882, 1898, 1901, 1916, 1923, 1935 & 1943.The river spans over an area of 25,000 sq. Kms covering the states. NICE DCV offers native clients for Windows, Linux, and MacOS as well as an HTML5 client for web browser access. Native clients can support up to four monitors at 4K resolution each. The Windows client also supports audio redirection and USB support for 3D mice, storage devices, and smart cards. The intervertebral disc (IVD) plays a main role in absorbing and transmitting loads within the spinal column. Degeneration alters the structural integrity of the IVDs and causes pain, especially in the lumbar region. The objective of this study was to investigate non-invasively the effect of degeneration on human 3D lumbar IVD strains (n = 8) and the mechanism of spinal failure (n = 10) under. The high performance, linkage-less feedback system eliminates physical contact, which eliminates wearing on parts. The fully encapsulated electronics resist the effects of vibration, temperature, and corrosive atmospheres.

There are no shortcuts when it comes to becoming a great 3D artist. It takes talent, determination and hundreds and hundreds of hours of hard graft. Not only do you need the same artistic chops as a sculptor or a painter, but you need to know the software pretty much inside out too. But all thats not to say that you cant learn from other people, and the insights and tricks and yes, even shortcuts, that theyve discovered through their hours of hard graft. We rounded up some of the best artists in the business, to let you in on their best modeling secrets.

'To model use the fewest tools you can Luca Nemolato

Tip 1: Helping hands

Tools like the Select N Edge feature in Mayas Bonus Tools (and similar operations on many modeling packages) can quickly create complex surfaces such as cloth folds on dense meshes, baskets or similar objects, or a complex set of wires. Best of all, if you keep a tube shape you can unfold its UVs with a couple of clicks. Carlos Ortega Elizalde

Use shortcuts when you can, remembering that you can always tweak and edit them to suit

Tip 2:Deform for detail

You can create complex objects very quickly using deformers and selections. By making a tileable surface it is only a matter of adding a couple of bend deformers to get a complex-looking but attractive object. Carlos Ortega Elizalde

Tileable surfaces are a great way to get details into your work

Tip 3: Keep it simple

To model use the fewest tools you can. I usually use just the Standard brush, Clay brush, Clay Tubes brush, Move brush and DamStandard brush. I build my forms and structure with the Clay Tubes and I cut into the clay with the DamStandard brush to define the shapes. Luca Nemolato

Modeling can be complicated enough, without overcomplicating it using tools you dont need

Tip 4: Cap holes with quads

In ZBrush, when you use Close Holes (in the Modify Topology menu) to cap a hole in the geometry, it will create a cap made of triangles. These triangles are not the ideal surface for sculpting. You can quickly convert them to quads by Ctrl+Shift+clicking on the cap polygroup to isolate it, going to the ZRemesher menu, enabling the FreezeBorder option and pressing the ZRemesher button. The cap will now be mostly made of quads. It is not perfect, but much better than the triangles! José Alves da Silva

Sometimes the quick fix is the best option

Tip 5: Terrain tricks

When you begin modeling an object, use Edit poly mode because if you use Edit Mesh you dont get important tools to work with and it can give you bad results when you render the image, such as wrong face normals, undesired edges on the faces and so on. A great tool that I use often in 3ds Max is the Populate Terrain script (www.populate3d.com) to fix the faces of the terrain and other objects from the clients AutoCAD files. Sérgio Merêces

If youre coming up against a problem time and time again, there may well be a script for it

Tip 6: Organic issues

ZBrush is an amazing tool when it comes to sculpting organic models. Today, for something like rocks, I just go directly into ZBrush and sketch my model from a basic sphere or ZSpheres, then DynaMesh it every now and then till I get strong base shapes, and then after I have cleaned the topology, I continue adding details to the model. I make sure I use Layers in ZBrush because it offers a great way for a non-destructive workflow. After Im done I decimate the final objects and bring it into 3ds Max/V-Ray to populate the scene. Toni Bratincevic

Modeling different objects is best done in different apps

Tip 7: Dont obsess about topology

Aside from in-game assets, dont obsess over topology unless your model is going to be rigged. This can become a huge waste of time. Many artists use ZBrushs decimation master or ZRemesher to create final assets when in a hurry. There are no topology police. Just know how to create good topology for the situations when it matters. Alex Alvarez

Tip 8: Do obsess about topology

Organic models (especially faces) benefit from good topology. How you structure the edge flow of a mesh can really help with skin deformations and morph targets. Radial edge loops from the eyes and mouth are the main points of reference on a face model. Use the nose and cheeks as convergence areas for these rings and avoid visible triangular polys wherever possible. Andrew Hickinbottom

Facial topology is an area worth spending extra time on

Tip 9: Strike a pose

When youre posing a character, particularly a pin-up, think about the silhouette and the line of action throughout the pose, and the simpler and clearer the better. Find appealing shapes, angles and curves on the model and enhance them with the posture. Tilting the hips and putting the weight on one leg creates an S-curved body, which is ideal for an archetypal pin-up pose. Andrew Hickinbottom

When youre modeling people, dont forget how important their pose is going to be

Tip 10: Think ahead

I use simple cubes to arrange the volumes in my scene while adjusting the camera angle to my satisfaction. After doing this I start modeling the dominant objects, and then the medium and small models. When Im working on a project that has realistic qualities, I try not to compromise on the amount of details Im creating. Because this modeling stage can take a long time and be very exhausting, I try to work smart and to cover only the areas that I will definitely see in my camera angles. Meny Hilsenrad

Detail and realism were key when Hilsenrad and Studio Aiko worked on the miCoach project for Adidas

More to think about

Of course, those are just a few of the ways these particular professional artists speed up their workflow, streamline their processes and cut to the chase. You probably have your own ways, and as long as youre working hard and creating work that you think is the best you can do, then really, anything goes. Because ultimately, if youre trying to raise your game and create stunning models, then the only tip worth listening to is to keep trying. And then try again, even harder.
