Blender Low Poly Window

-
In this tutorial, I'll create a simple mesh, using blender 2.8 for UDK. i am planing to use this window mesh in ProcBuild option of UDK.

I've tried my best to give the instructions step by step, but mistakes happen.
OK,  let's go to tutorial

1. Start Blender (I have 2.58 Installed)
2. Delete the default cube
3. Select Front View by Pressing 1 on Keyboard. Then Orthographic view by pressing 5.
Orthographic View

4.  Add a Plane (Press = Shift + A > Select Plane.
5.  Align the Plane to View (Tools Panel > Align to View Check box).
6.  Scale Plane on X Axis by 4 Blender Units ( Press = S > X > 4 ).
7.  Scale Plane on Z Axis by 8 Blender Units (Press = S > Z > 8).
8.  Press Shift+C on keyboard to align your 3dCurson in the middle of the canvas.
9.  Press G and move your plain by holding the Ctrl key so that it only move by a blender unit. Make sure that your plane is exactly aligned as shown in the pic.

Origin @ 3d Cursor

















10. From Menu select Object > Transform > Origin to 3dCursor. This puts your plain origin (Little Orange Dot) to the center of 3d Cursor.
11. Add an Edge loop to your plain (Edit Mode > Press Ctrl+R) and press left mouse button.
12. Press Ctrl+E to edge slide the new edge loop and move it down to 6 blender units.
13. Add one edge loop on top of the plain near 1 blender unit (X Axis).
14. Add one more edge loop and slide it to the center of plain (X Axis).
15. Add 2 Edge Loops on Z Axis and slide them to 1 blender unit away from the both sides.
16. Precise division can be made by checking the (Edge Length) option in (Mesh display) (Check the picture).

Edge Loops & Length

















17. Select the bottom vertexes and Press E > Esc > S > .8 to extrude and scale the selection.
18. Keep the selection and change your view to side by pressing 3 on numeric keyboard.
19. Press G  to move the selection out towards -Y Axis by 1 blender unit.
Extruded & Scaled Bottom





















20. Similarly, select the top portion and extrude it to Y Axis (Don't Scale it ).
21. You have a very low poly Window.
22. Your window mesh is ready for UDK export.

Extruded Window Top (Without Scaling)

















Please keep in mind, that i just made it for another tutorial , which is related to UDK ProcBuilding, that is why, it is not very good, or built in pieces (Like bottom , which very hideous, but works).
Next is Texturing.

Color Palettes in Blender

Hi There, Recently, i saw a post on a forum , where a user was very puzzled with color usage during Texture Painting of his mesh. It seemed that people are not aware of another hidden (infact it is right there in front of our eyes) feature of blender , The Color Palette . So, today, we'll try to get some knowledge about Color Palette and how to use them. In this tutorial, i am using blender 2.69 (official version). It is not necessary, but you can unwrap your box , assign a texture, before moving forward. You are required to create a folder , where you want to save the color palette, which we will make in this tutorial. Ok, lets get started. Select Texture Paint Mode in 3d View. My Current setup is like this. Initial Setup Select the Corner Anchor of the Color Palette Properties, and move it below the Brush Properties. Color Palette Moved Expand Color Palette Properties. In the last line, there is a Folder Button, which allows you...

How to Setup WOTgreal

Hi, Today, I'll help you out in installing and setup WOTgreal , an editor for unreal scripting. It comes with Intellisense ( a feature made popular by Microsoft Visual Studio), which really helps in faster and better coding. I am not saying, it is the only editor solution out their, but it is one of the most convenient after Notepad++. First of all, download WOTgreal from here , along with  WOTgreal development kit. We need the development kit to enable some of the features, which are not available with installer package. Install the WOTgreal with defaults. Do not start the program yet. Unzip the development kit and copy all of the files in main WOTgreal installation folder. Now, start the WOTgreal and wait for it to load the initial start setup. Setup Wizard :  press next. Configure Game Type: Do not select anything and press next. Configure Look & Feel : choose Keyboard settings, Highlighter settings  & Skins. I usually leave it as it is. Cl...

You can use this with Projection Mapping Modifier. I have added 6 cameras for projection mapping (Layer 2). You can easily extrude and manipulate your texture size as well. No need to unwrap the model. Just apply the Modifier and you are good to go Step 1: Add A Cube and in edit mode, just unwrap (default, without seams) and keep it selected. Step 2: Move to front View, by Pressing 1 on NumPad. Step 3: In modifier Panel add "UVProject" to Cube. Step 4: In "UVProject" load Image of your liking (This will be projected on the mesh. Tileable Image is good choice. Also select cube uvmap. Step 5: Deselct Cube and Select Default Camera. Step 6: Press Ctrt+Alt+0 on NumPad to move your camera view in front. From here you can adjust the size of Image Projection (How big or small you want your texture to show up) . (NOTE : Ensure your camera lens is Orthographic, otherwise, your texture is going to scale, as soon as you go near the camera). Step 7: After you a...
