Bulgarov Tutorial

chippwalters

Many of you perhaps have seen Vitaly Bulgarov's 10 days of Mechs. Pretty cool stuff. Impressive how quickly he can model. Here's a video of him creating one of the mechs in XSI.

I've recreated the first part of the video in SketchUp just to see what's involved. I've been using SU a lot lately for a Hyperloop project.

Very good tutorial - it really helps when you have someone explaining exactly what is happening. I've learned some new things & started to practice some others. Thanks.

Nope. That's about it. I did another in Lightwave about a year ago.

They're good exercises in helping to evaluate workflows.
