Contents
1. Introduction
2. Planning
• Howmuch time do I have?
• Storyboards
• Reference Material
• Detail
• Distance
• Lens Effects and Motion
• Final image resolution and detail
• Does the surface need to deform?
• Is this model the main model in the scene?
• Can I use textures for details?
3. Rules or Guidelines
• If it looks right in the final rendered image then it is right
• Plan things out properly.
• Start new surfaces with low geometry detail
• Build efficient surfaces
• Only build what you see
• Be organized
• Build off of existing surfaces
• Save early, save often
• Test models
• Rules can be broken
4. Deforming Hard Surfaces
• Edges or seams pulling apart
• Overlapping surfaces
