There are lots of props out there, but what if the concept you have in mind calls for a specific prop in a specific style that you can’t seem to find? <br/> You think to yourself “Hexagon is free, and if it’s good enough for artists like DZFire, Protozon and FirstBastion, maybe I should take a look?” You find some YouTube videos on how to use Hexagon and the basics of modeling a 3D object and you’re ready to start. But halfway through your project, you realize that you’ve modeled yourself into a corner and don’t know how to escape! <br/> In this tutorial set we’ll go over a strategic approach to modeling from conception to creating a usable prop. <br/> We’ll walk through planning your modeling project from setting up reference images, to dividing the mesh into segments, to surface planning and then UV mapping. <br/> We’ll identify common areas where new modelers make mistakes and how to resolve them. <br/> We’ll also go over importing your object into <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio, parenting the prop (a sword) to your figure’s hand. <br/> Total running time of tutorial : 4 hours and 18 minutes </p> <p> About the Presenter : Karl Knarr <br/> Whilst Karl&#039;s formal training is in computer programming, he has been learning and sharing tutorials on <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio since 2014.

A lot of my renders lately are of the roleplaying characters for my girlfriend and I to create snapshots of stories we’re co-writing. We tend to have very specific ideas about the look of our characters and the things they might own; so being able to create things myself has allowed me to reach my goals for my images without having to be limited by the content that others have created.“ About Digital Art Live <br/> We&#039;ve been connecting, educating and inspiring digital artists in our weekly live webinars since 2013.
