Continuing the discussion from Please help me - how to do this:
Splendid
And all with SketchUp, not CATIA or the like. Bravo!
Who needs CATIA when you have vertex tools, quadface tools, subD and curviloft.
Impressive work!..Thank you for sharing!
Waoo!!!
I hoped to have ready this model for the draft, but for work and father reasons I wasn´t able to finish until now.
As you can see I used the low poly modeling methodology with SubD, one of my favorite ways to model organic shapes, the seams were made with flowify.
The Textures I made them with sketchup with a 3D model of the texture of a football using ambient occlusion on Gimp I improve the colors and created normal and height maps, finally the UV mapping was made with WrapR, one of the best if not the best plugin-software to do that kind of things and a fast render using enscape.
