thanks, much appreciated

Still using Hexagon? :lol:

B.t.w., the second link in the page is wrong; substituting "two" for "one" allows you to access the tutorial.

@volter: Just curious, why you use hexagon instead of mod or cinema 4d?

Is it more suitable for modelling props?

My guess would be that a Hexagon tutorial might be useful for most casual Vue users who haven't taken the plunge into $1000+ modeling software, but that the concepts in the tutorials are mostly applicable to any modeler. 

Pretty neat tutorial, I think.  Hexagon does the job.  Any modeler could be used.  I'm not a big fan of shader domains though. 

We using mostly Maya, Sketchup and Cinema 4d.

However Hexagon is very inexpensive ($2) or free from DAZ depend on promo, and most functionality will work in other modeling software very simular. You can create models by using many different technics, this is just one of them. I am not trying to say do this way only. I am trying to inspire others to share there knowlege and there creativity.

I am finishing other tutorials : Sketchup and Vue (using new plugin from e-on), Maya and Vue integration.

Volter, I am glad you use Hexagon for these modeling tutorials!

Tutorials like these got me started to model my objects or alter existing models. Hex is cheap and not too complicated. If otherwise I would never have taken the dive.
So thank you for making that choice.

Many of us don't have the cash to splash on more expensive modelling programmes - they are out of reach to many.   I use Hexagon and I'm happy with it so I too am grateful for those tutorials

For some that may be, but I currently have a work flow of Poser Pro 2010, Photoshop CS5 Extended, Vue 9 Infinite, ZBrush 4 and just recently Maya. Most people I have ever worked with use either ZBrush, which is quite reasonable, or a program like Modo, Max or Maya in combo with the oher tools.

Free tutorials are always nice, but for many it is no use because we use more capable programs.

So  you're saying that those of us who can't afford such programmes don't deserve free tutorials?

Let me intersept, programm specific tutorials help a lot when you learn about specific application. Conceptional tutorials help in over all, however it's may take additional effort to apply them to specific technics in specific application.

It's why I reocrding tutorial for different subjects and different applications. We all like different things. At Geekatplay we have : Vue, Photoshop,Hexagon,Cinema4D,Poser, Daz Studio, Modo , 3D Coat, Filter Forge, Maya, and other tutorials. Soon to be released : Groboto, ZBrush/Vue, Sketchup/Vue and more.

I would like for more people share there knowlege in application they like, this is expand my knowlege and help find better tools to work with. Goal is not to use specific tool, goal it's express your idea in most correct way you saw it.

Exactly.  And those that have "more capable programs" should easily be able to follow along with your idea.

Glad to hear that about zbrush, there's not much online about zbrush to vue workflow.

Such as exporting zbrush meshes with diffuse plus normal or displacement maps made in zbrush and importing the mesh into vue and useing those maps on the mesh in Vue.

I also have Groboto.

I never said that in my statement, that is something you have inferred. You should read the exact words as written, otherwise you can make anything be out of context. In fact, I said "Free tutorials are always nice, but for many it is no use because we use more capable programs." which is quite clear.

volter:

Looking forward to your ZBrush/Vue tutorials as well. However, I have been able to create full figures and props in ZB 4 to export out into Vue with no trouble. The texturing can be tricky but there are some great official workshops now for ZB they have and it has  helped me a LOT too. I look forward to seeing your methods and how you do things because there is always something to learn.

Here is begining Sketchup to Vue tutorials

Also what you using for texturing? And what technics you preffered? UV, native Vue materials?

I prefer UV mapping and procedural texture baking techniques.
