Tutorial: Modeling Little Tech Greebles from Images (Patreon)

A quick rundown of a bunch of the techniques I've been using lately for all these greebly (nonsense detail) bits! There's almost always a more efficient way to do what I'm doing at any given moment, but that's part of the fun of it :)

Also, spent some time today and made this little control panel (with HEFTY ol' tubes coming off the back, haha)! I think it's going to work well for a few HyperBole POV/Helmet Cam shots. Actually- I want to model some motorcycle handlebars to add on there, and maybe make a standalone image, like a POV shot of this thing parked at a drive-in restaurant or something. We'll see!  I also have all these modules set up with little noise modifiers, so they should wiggle pretty good in motion. THAT SAID- I haven't figured out how I want to approach the needles, yet. my plan right now is so paint out the original needles from the image texture, then add in some new ones with some constraints to govern the whole thing, but I'm not sure how ambitious I'm feeling just yet :/

Talk soon!
