jackinthebo1 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I was thinking about modeling the SA80 but what is the best way to make the holes in the barrel and receiver? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/SA-80_rifle_1996.jpg/640px-SA-80_rifle_1996.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzerfong Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hmm....there's two ways: 1. On the low-poly mesh, make an outline of the holes, then extrude the edges to fill up the faces.2. Ignore them for now, on the hi-poly mesh, make the actual holes, extrude, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimhsu Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm no expert on this, but I would start modeling the silhouette and using splines to model the holes and extrude through. For the other curved surfaces (e.g. trigger), use splines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander566 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 well if you're talking about the plastic front handgrip, and those holes i would trace out the wholes with a cylinder and use the pro boolean, under the compound objects drop down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
