Quick Topology Question

RashedAlmetrami

Hey!

Have been away from modelling for a little while and wanted to know how I would go about creating the base topology for the handle of a gun.

on the left was my first attempt but I felt as if it wasn't getting me anywhere.
the small curve on the top of the handle is giving me problems!






What are my next stages?

Bump

That's really all you could come up with? Why not cut a loop where that bump for the thumb protrudes and push the verts around a little? Check head-on and iso reference pics as well..

Edit: If you mean the pattern on the grip, you could either add it later when texturing, or float a pattern on top of the grip itself when baking.

Maybe I could help a little by painting over you current image (see attachment).

You can increase the polygon resolution to the area if you want , of course.

Thanks VeeJay, that image is very helpful!
