Tips and Tricks

I just wanted to point out some things that I use when moddeling and have found it usefull through the moddeling stages.

Send in the Clones!!!!

Now due to the nature of the work that is being produced, I always make sure to be safer than sorry and whenever I change something drastic I will make another copy of the object just in case things go horribly wrong.


























Now this has happend to me in the past and indeed has happend to me during this project, espcially when taking the individual model parts and putting them together, my welding and creating planes. If not concentrating this can go horribly wrong very quickly and its always good to have something to revert back too.

How to use Layers?

It was mentioned in class about using layers, I did notice that will all my backup figures and objects that simple tasks such as moving around the workspace were becoming increasingly difficult due to everything that was being moved around. It was also hard to work on areas without selecting other models etc which was very annoying to say the least.

But just like photoshop using layers can be very handy, putting models on diffrent layers and being able to hide them from sight or move large groups of work at once.
