Vehicle modeling - topology problem

S@murai

Hello ! I'm quite experienced modeler, but sometimes I encounter problems which are hard to solve for me. I would be very thankful for your help.

To the point, this is my problematic area. I just cant find a good way to get this sharp corners right. I tried many solutions but every give smoothing artifacts (I use blender subdivision surface similar to Max turbo smooth)

The vehicle is a Claas Xerion 2014.

I quickly made a section... some of it is a mess; I don't want to send too much time doing this. Still, you should add more geo to your curved shapes. Model in quads etc. there's a "how to model them shapes" thread here on PC. You should look into it. Hope this helps

+1 on what James said. I make all my vehicle topology fairly dense. The forms should be completely described before you hit turbosmooth.

Wow, thank you ! I hoped for a simple paintover, but you took your time and made this mesh. If we met somewhere I owe you a beer

edit:

It looks like I've got some sort of temporary brain cancer xD I totally forgot that I could use projection. Now I use some of tips from your mesh and it should go straight forward.



Thanks one more time
