Crate progress / Suggestions

mrgilbert159 · Feb 2016

So I'm creating one of the generic Sci-fi crates. And I'd like for you to follow my process with any critiques and suggestions.
At the moment I've got most of the base mesh down (starting with low poly).
I'm going from a concept I found. And like most concepts, we have to imagine how some areas of the image work in a 3D world.
Like this area, I'm struggling what I should make. I know its a handle of some sort.
Are there any references I can go off? Maybe a leaver of some sort that opens the crate??
Thanks

Like this? Should I have them in the low poly as there deep indents. I don't think they would be too noticeable if i just bump mapped them

you could probably get away with baking it into your lowpoly

Hmmmmmm I could. But I think it would be noticeable seeing there's a lot of them and there large....

Probably just under 4000 tris when I've cleaned it up. That's with the triangular indents....
