[Help] Need some help w/ modeling

Jpeppa

Hey all,

Making an OC sword I sketched up the other day and I am having a bit of a tough time creating a piece of it in an efficient manner.



I am having trouble with the (Hand guard) sphere morphing correctly into a cylinder then at the opposite end, into a box/square.

I've tried a few different methods but, I don't feel like they are correct and I wasn't happen w/ the result. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Here is what I have so far

Alrighty, I think I figured it out using a 5 sided pole.



I figure no one is really checking this thread but I'll keep posting updates anyway - If someone could suggest a quick way of creating this same result (I took a more manual approach) I would appreciate it!

That's pretty much all there is to it. I would optimize the ball section a little bit until im satisfied but, its probably a case of Pratice, practice, practice.

It'd might be easier to use a cylinder instead of a sphere to make that area rounded. Other then that you're on the right track!

@Chase: I ended up using a cylinder for the obvious cylindrical part (lol (no sarcasm)) and a spherified box for the ball.

@peanut: What would you suggest I do to optimize the ball more?

Ty for the replies!
