Struggling with topology

rasdaniil · Oct 2016

Hi all

After spending a lot of hours on this particular element of the model I've decided to ask the community for help. This is one of my first modelling works so...

I don't know how to make this corner of a train carriage proper.. which means I don't know how to get rid of this shading bugs

I feel that topology is wrong but don't know what to do..

Thank you guys

I quickly drew a wireframe, it looks like shit, but you got the idea.

Also try to avoid ngons. (Polygons that have more than 4 sides)

You might have some hard edges that should be soft too.

Thank you very much for this schematic drawing, I have rebeuilt topology of the model, and will post some updates soon

I still keep thinking that maybe I should have modelled this in subdiv modelling technique or not.. that's supposed to be a game asset
