Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
Kanc3 said:Hi all to the master here, I'm pretty new to 3D and I was trying to model a halo battle rifle called BR85HB, and I faced some problem which I don't really know how the topology work at this section because there are like hole etc, wonder if anyone here know how it work for the topology?
So sometimes when i think something is to advanced, I usually tend to break it up to smaller parts right, Concentrate on on one and slowly work myself on the next piece. When I am done, I try to Merge them together. Try it that way?
Also, try to show your example before posting.
So I will use photoshop once again.
Two ways to go at least for me. If something is hard I can also use the technique to draw how the edgeflow would go.

In this case, this piece is rather flat, so should be easy to use ngons and tris everywhere without having issues.
You could either split this up in three pieces and work them out (without adding support loops). Then merge and add the supporting loops.
You can go with the bigger shape to smaller shape workflow.
Primary = Build the shape without adding the bevels, around the shape. KISS (Keep it simple stupid).
Secondary = Now I would add the bevels bigger cut-ins that I know would not work well with floats (or I need a denser shape before adding them). I could also add Support loops in this shape. So it holds when Subdividing once (turbo smoothing). 
Tertiary or floaters = With a denser cage, I can now either add my smaller details and merge them to the mesh Or use floaters.

Kaito_Mei said:can anyone tell me how to do the hinge here? I do not have a clue how to connect the panel with the hinge...
break down the shape in Photoshop/whatever floats the boat
1. Primary shapes, Without cuts. Just a box version of it.
2. Secondary shapes, cutouts, and so on.
(3). tertiary shapes (smallest shapes)
4. But I just wrote floaters here, Works fine to have floaters.
so.. yeah I was to lazy to finish it, but you can simply see the fast blockout here. And now for this drunken pirate, time to sleep.
Apparently I was drunk yesterday, but I did do more. But I just forgot to upload it. Apologize. Also a big fat Sorry To @FrankPolygon and @Perna ... For ruining the topology.

Re: LOW-POLY ART
Cosmic Dawns Frag Cannon
(probably on the high end of what's supposed to be shared in this thread? sitting at 2k total tris)
And a badass Zweihänder (440 tris 128x texture)
