Sketchbook: Avian J

TheAvianLimits

Hello and thanks for stopping by!
I am a game graphics student at TheGameAssembly in Malmö, Sweden, so it would be much appreciated if you guys gave critique on my work. As I am not much of a concept artist, I will be using this sketchbook mostly for 3D works.

I'll start off with a low-poly model I made almost a year ago during my first year as a student. I have already posted in this forum once, but I thought it'd be nice to include it here.

For a school assignment, create a human in zBrush and then make it into a game-funtional model. I would like to get critique on how to improve my edge flow as it is supposed to be rigged.

Making a violin for our production project course at school. Any feedback is much appreciated!

Lets see some wires for the violin, I'm interested to see how the top's topology looks like since I assume you are planning on making the holes in it/designs actual geometry.

I'm not really sure what to do about the holes, so far this is the high-poly, and I aim to stick to about 4k tris for the final low-poly. If I feel like I have the spare tris to make actual holes, I would highly appreciate tips on how to include them in the geometry! Otherwise I'll just bake them in I think.

I personally always do the holes with booleans, you'd have to fix the edgeflow significantly but it'd give you some holes.

TheAvianLimits

If I'll bake it, I guess using booleans on the high poly will not be a problem. Thanks for the tip!

Final result of the violin!
