TAKU DAZAI - HAND CONTROLLER FOR PACIFIC RIM(WIP)

BadPolygon

Hello everyone, how are you doing.

So, I'm in the midst of modeling this handheld controller from PACIFIC RIM(as you can see I've gathered enough reference). I've managed to get the general shape, but when i try to solve the topology to hold the edges and making the object feels alive i get this issue, in this specific part.

As you can see this is my topology, it looks fine, but it is wrong. with those 2 edges running down, the shape is tight in that corner, therefore I'm losing the overall circular shape of my object.

Ive tried doing something like this, but to no avail.

If anyone knows how to deal with these types of situations, i would be grateful to listen and learn. Thanks in advance.

Hi! You might want to check out the long-running How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking) thread, which contains all sorts of sub-div modeling situations imaginable. For sub-div modeling generally, I think FrankyPolygons' Sketchbook is worth a look for learning/inspiration. Other than that there is the Polycount Wiki, which might point you towards more resources. Good luck with the project!
