Ok, so I’m making a DHD (its in its very early stages).
Now for those who dont watch stargate a DHD is this --> HERE
So, at first I started off and did this : Clicky clicky
And so then I fixed a few things, made some edges a little sharper, made the center ball slightly bigger. I also wanted to make it a lot smoother, more round-ish. As a temporary solution I upped the subsurf to 4 (used to be at 2). and it gave THIS.
I’d prefer lowering it back to 2, but I’d need an another way of making it rounder. Suggestions?
Thanks, Borg.
P.S: I’m also looking for suggestion on how to make the outer ring thingy.
I’'m guessing this starting out life as a box,If you start instead with a more rounded shape say a circle of 6 or even 8 verts when you subsurf it will be rounder with less subsurf levels, also set smooth will smooth the shading of the faces to give a more rounded look.
Note : I put the dial disk (or wtv you want to call it) parallel to the “ground” to make my work easier. I’ll tilt it back into its normal position when I’m done.
