  (((Weekly Swift 3D 'Addict' - Raymond Moonen, a.k.a. Rainman)))  

Congrats to our Swift 3D Addict Raymond Moonen, a.k.a. Rainman.

Rainman has created an amazing model of Spiderman's head/mask. If there is anyone that wants to push the limits and raise the bar of Swift 3D's Advanced Modeler, it would definetly be Rainman. Not to mention, he is our first, two time Swift 3D Addict Winner.

Recently Rainman has been practicing a method that is traditionally called Edge Extrusion. Since Swift 3D doesn't have the ability to actually extrude an edge Rainman has pioneered a similiar method comprised of building his models with a segmented plane, shaping it, and then welding it to the existing model. Build a lather, rinse and then repeat, next thing you know you have a finely detailed, high quality model.

Just to show you how far Rainman has pushed this method, check out this link. This is a 'Work-in-progress' mind you.
