Live modeling means that Aaron creates something from scratch, while streaming live video on Twitch, Facebook, and YouTube. YouTube seems to be the closest to instant, though I haven’t test Twitch lately.

The Today at 12pm is Mountain Time. So just over two hours from now.

I have never modeled something by existing drawings, that wasn’t a piece of architecture. My sons love this show, so I thought I would give it a go too.

My take on modeling architectural based on images is to model on top of a projected image that has been scaled and then exploded. The image becomes a material projected into a rectangle and that projection allows auto texturing while I model. It usually results in cool models. Let’s see if I have free time to finish this one:
