This is video about baking textures in Marmoset Toolbag 4, and organizing the scene in Blender.

This video is about how I did the retopo and UV mapping for my helicopter model in just 11 hours.

Finished the high-poly fuselage exterior.

Finalized the basic fuselage shapes. Adding details…

Starting Work on the Fuselage: ImageModeler and Camera Match in Blender I’m gathering photos from various angles to use in ImageModeler. After many attempts, I’ve concluded that it’s better to use a minimal number of photographs. Currently, I’m using photos of a variant that isn’t exactly the one I need, so I’m working with what’s […]

Finishing the MH-6J Main Rotor Base Mesh I’ve reached the most complex part of the rotor. There are no photos of the individual components, and I lack a precise understanding of the assembly. However, I’ve tried my best to figure it out. Fortunately, I have a photo of one key component. That’s where I’m starting… […]

Continuing work on the main rotor base mesh. It was quite difficult to figure out the complex shape of the Mast Assembly. I utilized a combination of AI generation from photos, Image Modeler, and Camera Match in Blender to recreate at least an approximate version of this part. I am currently assembling the rotor elements […]

Continuing my work on the MH-6J Little Bird main rotor. Today, I tested a new AI model for 3D generation. The pitch housing consists of several parts that connect to the main rotor head. It was difficult to figure out the assembly from general photos alone, but eBay listings were a huge help. Some sellers […]

A Tale of Image Modeler and Two Blenders… I didn’t get a lot done today because much of the time went into figuring out a workflow for photo-based 3D modeling. First, I finished the basic mesh (the blocking) of the main rotor hub component I started working on in the previous post. At this stage […]
