Easy Peasy Roll of Barbed Wire Tutorial

Tutorial: Creating a roll of Barbed Wire :: jeremylindstrom.com

It's a low poly tutorial.

I might go back and fix some things, I was looking for one and instead just documented my process while I was going. If anyone has any suggestions for clarification or if it helps anyone let me know. It's pretty simple to follow, there's some things I could of gone in further like uvlayout and alpha channel stuff, but the main part was just getting the shape, I guess.

Let me know if it helps anyone out. Would love to have helped at least one person.

Well, other than that the spikes of the barbed wire seem to be the size of a brick it's good

heh, yeah i just threw a wall in there to show it with something, I'm making a whole scene I'll probably update that image with when it's finished. thanks.

good way to do the spiral, will remember that. thanks for the tip.

You'd be best making the spiral if you use the helix spline, 4 sides, rotated 45 degrees. Then delete the inner faces using the circular selection tool and clone+flip normals if your game doesn't support double-sided geometry. I think it would be a lot quicker to make, and also faster to tweak?

thanks, I'm still a bit new to max just figured I'd throw it out there because I hadn't seen any tutorials out there yet. There's not a tool in Maya like that afaik. Yours came out much better. I'll check it out and update my tutorial thanks!
