A simple example of edge weighting. The rendered images (top) show the curved surfaces,
and the weight-mapped images (bottom) show the weighting used to achieve the effect.
Modeling Organic Objects
In this section, you will model smooth and organic forms by using subdivision surfaces. In completing these
models, you will learn about the following:
• Traditional modeling (based on moving points and polygons)
• Edge sharpening
• The use of falloffs to create flowing models
• The use of digital sculpting
Through the combined use of these techniques, you will be able to create the models for a convincing
studio scene.
Figure 5-7
shows the projects you will model in this section, and then texture and render in the
following chapters.
