my first model in Hexagon---pls help me

[mayito7777]

Well I think that is in topic because the Hexagon trainning DVD could help Paralel and others in the modelling techniques and also in how to avoid errors that can affect the UV map for being a disaster.

Maybe it could be turned into a community project? Maybe i'm crazy? Did DAZ actually tell people to not distribute these materials?

shorty

regarding the last bit shorty, NO ,Daz didnt stop and have not to my knowledge prevented people from creating Training material, i simply choose not to represent them in any form.
its a personal choice on my part
end of discussion
no more Of Topic please

I like the style too

I'd like to see an unsmoothed version. A UV may not be that difficult, its just hard to tell with that level of smoothing.

you could also collapse the geometry, so that we can see the topology better. don't forget to save it as a different file after collapsing

The geometry could use some work, but is a pretty good start for a concept. I sometimes crank out a quick model just to figure out the basic profile and then start over with a clean version, once ive got my head around the design.
its usually quicker and cleaner the second time around

I understand photo advices from Tree 123...back to learning and not to intersect geometry..in the same time..will post some images with the model unsmoothed...hope this help to make a clear opinion about it..
About the ...style thx mates...is just an ideea....and some newbie "skills" after i read a part of Hexagon Manual

Thank you again for your time

[mayito7777]

You always can create the criss-cross sections in separated objects so when you have to UV map them you can UV map them separately.

i figure this,after i read all posts from this thread....any other advices are very welcome..i want to learn Hexagon

thank you
