How to Make a Train Head Model in KeyShot(1)

Fox Renderfarm, your TPN-Accredited render farm and cloud rendering service provider, will share with you this tutorial article about How to Make a Train Head Model in KeyShot. KeyShot will be used to make a 3D model of the train head, and the problems encountered in the production will be shared. Although this model looks very simple, there are still many details that need attention, such as the surface.

Modeling analysis

Observing the reference picture and analyzing the structure and shape, We can see the bends marked by the red and green lines. The structure can be decomposed to make a better model.

Modeling

Because the angle of the reference picture is fixed, we can directly use the reference picture to place the model in the software as a background. Firstly, we can determine an approximate angle and fix the angle of a camera. The model can be replaced by a BOX.

Draw a curve and create a finished face as the lower half of the train.

Copy the curve to adjust the control point to the position shown in the figure below.

The other side is also produced in the same way.

Create a face from the three lines, adjust the part where the face meets the body, and adjust the surface control points until the red intersection line reaches the edge position of the light in the perspective reference picture.

Adjust the position and cut off the surface of the other excess parts where the two parts meet.
