USman Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hello, I have been modeling for a little over a year now, and I can not for the life of me figure out how to create a good mirror. If someone could be kind enough to share how they do it. I have had some help but any more is appreciated.Thanks, USman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 use the predone shapes in zmod, there is one that is a cylender, set the number of round sides to however many you need to effectively model the overall shape of the mirror, then the depth I use usually 2 rows of polys to help create the ) shape that most mirrors have being aerodynamic these days... Basically take the cylender that you created and tweak the shape so it looks more like a mirror instead of a cylender.O to (__) shape and then on the front half taper the thing down (using scale) to make it appear more aerodynamic since most vehicles do not have square mirrors... In the case of fire engines and things like that generally though, you can get away with a fairly square shaped mirror.Hopefully this helps you.
