learning and speed

[dnagi]

I am curious if anyone has an idea on how I can work on my speed and work flow. I want to increase my modeling time. IS there a speed modeling site for cgarchitecture?

 

Thanks

hi,

I think there is a lot of things you can do to improve your speed.

First use keybord shortcuts. You will cut a lot of time doing this.

You can learn the shortcuts already adjusted inside the program and create your own shortcuts.

 

Then you can learn other ways to build the same object.

Most people spent their lives building things the same way.

In each new version all programs create new tools.

Searching new ways to build will surely make you work faster and smarter.

Nowadays the are thousand of approtches to build a chair for example.

Explore many ways and then decide which is faster for you.

But be aware that each object can have a different approach.

So learning different ones will make you faster for each kind of object.

 

Maybe somebody knows other things I am forgeting here

 

Besides that...

Practice will make you faster.

 

Hope have helped !!!

I want to increase my modeling time.

 

Really?

 

I'm sure you mean decrease modeling time. For me my time modeling decreased significantly when I learned to let go of modeling with cad-like precision. Now I actually prefer to work from sketches rather than cad files. The reason is if I have a cad elevation I am still a little tempted to try and get every corner and line where they belong down the the Nth level of accuracy. If I have a sketch I just eyeball it... much faster and it always look right. I'm getting better with working quickly from cad files but the temptation is still there.

that explains the quality of your work. just messing with you. as long as you have some dimansions, i'm with you on the sketches part. even though it's fun sometimes, i don't like figuring out the scale of stuff all the time. i guess that's more common when your given a photograph to match. lately i've had to do a bit of that.

as you practice more as mentioned earlier, you learn the shortcuts. as yyou do this stuff from 8-18 hours a day, you just get faster at it. modeling seams to become the least of what you spend your time doing. by far. good luck.

i would prefare to start from autocad 2d works its faster accurate use this way take the working to time to the have only start within plan & elevs

 

have fun...................
