Building and doing the UV work on a model

Building and UV work for a road piece This is a start to finish video showing a road segment build that I ultimately used to design the new city streets module in Rad Sandbox. This is built entirely in Ultimate Unwrap, from model to UV work. I don’t own Ultimate Unwrap but it is an awesome piece of software that can model as well as do UV work. #uv #3dmodels #radsandbox #Learningtomodel #buildingamodel #ultimateUnwrap #3d #openFXmodeler #gamer

 Used in video:

 Rad Sandbox. https://www.radsandbox.com

Open FX Modeler: https://www.openfxmodeler.com

Ultimate Unwrap: https://www.unwrap3d.com/u3d/index.aspx

PhotoScape (UV graphics): http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/download.php

Gimp (UV Graphics: https://www.gimp.org/

 I use Gimp and PhotoScape to do all of my image work. I have made custom graphic collections with PhotoScape so I can do UV work quickly.

GIMP can use Photoshop filters and has over 100 of its own or user contributed filters and transitions/FX.

I use both the 64 bit and the 32 bit versions of Ultimate Unwrap.

All of my model UV/Graphic work is done with Ultimate Unwrap.

I Have an advanced compiled (By me) version of Open FX Modeler that allows me to do direct work on my Direct X Models. When I am modeling, I work with Open FX most times, occasionally 3DS MAX Studio.

I use RAD Sandbox to test/build and compile 3D games.

Wasteland models – Direct Links

WASTELANDS MODELS

The wastelands models are models I built from references in my America the Dead books concerning custom built vehicles made by the Nation and used to communicate or send supplies or people between encampments or settlements.

Some of the builds were purpose built for war and scouting missions and used by the outrunners in several of the books.

Most of the early builds were just repurposed existing abandoned vehicles they could obtain easily, but later builds were purpose built and made from fabricated frames and tube reinforcements.

All of the wasteland’s vehicles, along with most of the models I build are included in Rad Sandbox, set up and ready to drop into a game, or you can buy them separately and use them in your own game or game system, Dell.

Wastelands Number 27 – Direct X

A fabricated tube Frame roller mounted with part of a pick-up body and turned into a desert runner.

The tube frame is super strong and supports the old UniBody and adds lift as well. The wheelbase is short, so the cruiser had a wide stance and is very stable off-rooad.

This truck model is in Direct X and comes with all Graphics, Maps and UV work and is a direct download after payment. You can use it in any project of your choice either commercial or personal with no further obligation/cost and without attributes.

Shipping container home – Alternative housing

An idea I’m working on for a shipping container home. Two 40 x 8 containers deconstructed each side forms a welded wall of the new structure set on a base of sufficient depth for your area.

The center is poured concrete. he solid walls a re welded end to end to form the box. Engineered steel beams form the roof which gives you an enclosed area 40′ by 40′.

The other four door areas left over from dismantling to get the four walls could be used to form a garage door opening, or two openings. You would need some structural steel to weld in to replace what was taken with the side doors, but at the end you would have a solid set of doors to your garage.

Nothing is to scale, but you get the idea. Pretty cheaply built and encompassing 40′ x 40′. Solid, spray foam to combat or eliminate the condensation problems steel buildings have and you have a pretty good home.
