Looking sweet mate!

cheers bullet

This has been the hardess part to model still have to do the side indent, might cheat and do a normal map...........dave

Yep like I have said a 1000 times negative space in in hard surface models is a royal pain.

Is that all one geo dave?

Yes a pain ctbram, no bullet the spout is seperate only because I might need to mirror again when I have finished I will boolean it............dave

Alright like a idiot I modelled the side of the jerry can 60% happy with it..............dave

So how did you do it dave....it looks like a boolean but hard to tell?

cheers bullet

I cut it out in the end with the split poly tool, might redo the whole lot as the mesh looks like a dogs dinner.............dave

I was thinking (I tried it and it worked) of using the 'create poly tool' then lay the new face on the can...combine.delete some faces and then bridge tool. I just dont know how to get the shape to stick to a surface first (only by hand)..or you could make the shape a cloth?? then drop onto it? object placement even...just theories

cheers bullet

Make live might work for the first one, I would not use cloth as it stretches to easy..............dave

LOL great minds think alike...I was going to suggest that too but wasnt sure if it would work...then combine/delete etc etc

cheers bullet

In the end I just cleaned the mesh up as best I could, the can is just one peice just need to put a lid on it...........dave

It looks better mate

Got to get back on track, get it back on track tank, OK lame, little update, this is just a plain occlusion render..........dave

why for you post 4 times old man??
