Seeking Topology Advice

Pendaroni

Hi,

I am creating a sort of cyborg riot bot and would appreciate any critique on the topology. Here is the wireframe which is under 30k tris.



Thanks for any advice.

Topology seems fine.

I'd put the hands palm facing down though. It's a more relaxed position that way.

The topology looks fine, specifying your use for this model also helps... e.g. if it's meant to be animated your topology is in the right direction... but if it's supposed to be a statue etc or an environment asset you could re-topo for better details assuming you'll be sculpting into this later on?

The only alterations I'd make to the topology is this.


If you intend to turbo smooth this model for some nicer edges for bakes later on this setup on topology will really help you out when you start adding support edges.

Definitely listen to what JadeEyePanda said, model your hands aiming downwards.

Good work so far keep going n__n

I can't give you much topology advice, but the character looks a bit blocky to me. It's very square. I'd recommend bringing the legs and shoulders closer together so that the body has more organic curves.

Topology is fine, I think the real problem is proportion.

The topology from the pecs to the shoulders looks funny and is gonna clip thru itself. Basically, the pecs begin on the sternum and end on the humerus, but your topology suggest that the end pont goes higher. That will change the way the shoulder looks when it moves, especially moving forward. I would look for other ways to get that topology going, and there are plenty of other ways, but not just that. Good luck
