    "Buy my book's"
    Benni your'e my hero!
    My old PC crashed, with all of it's Inkscape/Fusion 360 info and tutorials, so this really helped to started again. Real life got in the way so it has been almost 18 months since then. My goal is to use the images and screen shots from Mass Effect to make plans for practical life size furniture "props". So far I've only managed to make prop of the Medi-gel containers from ME1,... to store a bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy for Dr. Chakwas and myself of course.
    Pet the Corgi's for me!

    ULTRA PRO TIP:
    But Blender can give you the blueprints automatically :
    just go to render settings, at the bottom ENABLE FREESTYLE, select the camera, in the camera tab on the right set it to "Ortographic", press a button on the XYZ gizmo to set the angle, press
    Ctrl+Num0 to align camera to view, hit F12, BLUEPRINTS DONE !!!
    If you don't want the image itself, but rather only the edges, you can export it as an SVG by going to Edit>Prefferences>Addons and enabling the FreestyleSVG
    then hit F12 again and BOOM, what you just did in Illustrator was just done automatically, with no manual work required, and it's also 100% accurate to the model
    of course, if you want it to look better you can always change the line style and color and stuff , add a background grid, etc to make them look really pretty if you want

    • @mihailazar2487
      @mihailazar2487 6 місяців тому

      ​@@valentinpopgeorgiev746 Just use any 2D vector program capable of editing SVGs to make the layouts. Such as Inkscape.
      You could even edit the SVGs by hand if you wanted to lol. It's just XML, you can just include an SVG into another SVG (either by pasting inside it or by using the foreignObject tag to link the file directly
      For example putting the view into another SVG which is your page, and you can edit its viewbox attribute to put it wherever you want and crop and scale to whatever you want within the page.

    Mando’s rifle is a disrupter. It is illegal in the Star Wars universe, out pawed by the Empire and the New Republic. It is his and what you saw was a fight scene from episode 2 of the Mandalorian. They basically set every cell in the target on fire and disintegrate the target. Great video. Mandalorian is a fabulous program.

I have a video I just uploaded of my speed build of a very large pattern (use I have the same issue with picking very large complicated things lol ) as a thank you I added the link to this in the description if you would like to see :) Its my Odin blades from final fantasy xiii.

    Hi Benny, Just tu clarify, inkscape does have guides, also if you have a 3D model you should take a look to freecad, there is a workbench for blue prints.
    To enable rules, go to document settings and then the last tab, if i remember well. inkscape.org/forums/questions/two-crossing-grid-lines-intersection-set-to-zero/

    @artemirrlazaris7406 4 роки тому

    I would like to help you. When I used Maya or 3d studio max about 20 years ago. You can get blueprints and schematics from any 3d shape simply by changing the material for rendering.
    Today I use Autodesk.
    Here is my tips for instant blueprints from any 3d model.
    Click on the 4 panel view button, Othagonal View, Which creates a top, side and front and perspective view ports. To enlarge a said view port, simply hit space. You can hit F9 to render the image. Make sure to turn on lighting or change back ground from black to white for the render.
    Now for 3d models. You can render out the wireframe of the model and you can even change mesh options ot add more geometric lights. If you turn on ignore backfacing, it will only render the viewable wireframe from that viewing screen. Thus instantly rendered wireframe blueprints. You can then render at whatever size you want or need and import that image to the photoshop.. Then eidt to smooth it out or tweak it a bit.
    You can also render the image, with the wireframe and the model image. You can also do cell shader technique that outlines your model in a cartoon line black line. In which you can edit how thick it renders.. that typically takes some tweeking...
    Yeah, if you do this, you can simply. Find a 3d model. Have the wireframe material, turn on ignore back facing, choose your file save type,, jpg etc... size resolution... alpha map if targa etc.. and then boom render.. done... 5- 6 minutes. Once you figure it out. Thats what I did 20 years ago in Toronto when I was doing computer animation and medlding about... this way you can do MORE craft time, which should speed up your progress in how to do things.

    Just one thing to add. If you have a 3d model of the prop I think you can make a quick blueprint in blender with a renderer or plugin. Or you might be able to import the file into fusion 360 and make a blueprint. I think you still have to scale it to the right size tho. Both apps are free for private use.

    Hi just a little tip to help find images put "reference image" with what you're looking for in your case side reference image I know it sounds dumb but search engines search for all the words first.
    like this
    1) all the words in the order
    2) all the words any order
    3) some of the words any order
    4) any unique words
    so if you say mandalorian rifle side reference image you're going to get the best results
    also if you mix up the words like mandalorian side rifle reference image you probably will get a much different que of pictures like a sidearm. not what youre looking for. so just a tip
