The Beginning
Hey folks.
Just thought I would start showing some of my work. It's probably mostly going to be terrible, but i would really love to hear some thoughts or tips.
Hope you enjoy.

Whats up with users just coming into threads and bashing people as of late? This forum is about helping people and giving feedback, no matter the skill level. If you have nothing helpful to say to the OP than don't say it all. Simple as that.
As for the thread. It would help if you let us know what you are trying to model and post some reference. Also the picture is a tad small to really see what is going on.
I dont know what I am looking at either but this doesn't help anybody at all.
"It's a jumbly mess, that's what I see."
This does.
"It would help if you let us know what you are trying to model and post some reference. Also the picture is a tad small to really see what is going on"
and you don't make new people to the forum and to 3D feel like shit.
Normally I would just ignore a post like yours, but they seem to be happening a ton more as of late, even from users like your self that have been around here for a while.
On a more serious note: I'm telling you its a sci-fi gun. Bet you 100 bucks.
Guess that silhouette!
"It's a jumbly mess" is an accurate crit, if not a terribly detailed or specific one. I don't think it was meant to be insulting or demeaning in any way. One takes what they get and everybody has their way of delivering their thoughts. No hard feelings, folks - lets not turn this guy's post into a flame war...
OP: if it's not immediately clear what you're presenting a little more description would help us help you help yourself...in a helpful way.
also: regardless of what it is it's clearly a hard surface kind of object and a lot of the edges aren't quite straight enough to make it look properly manufactured. Ref or description would help - maybe it's meant to be stylized (which isn't reinforced well with the silhouette) or maybe you'll indicate with the materials something that makes sense - maybe the plates of metal are hammered out by hand - but failing something like that it's waaaay too wobbly on some of the edges and curves
I'm creating an conceptual jet engine. But correct it is just a jumble at the moment. The left most piece is the exhaust/exit. It has no innards and that is what is the biggest problem. I just dont know how much detail I should have on the inside. Maybe i should have spent a little more time on the concept to flush things out a little more.
Take a look at the concept mesh for a little more understanding.
Maybe this is too much of a WIP to post for crit. Like I said really just started with zbrush, but doesnt mean go easy

There is an awesome hard surface zbrush tutorial on Eat 3D's site I think, could be 3D motive maybe, I do not remember. It might be worth checking out.
Explanation - I'm thinking that when I use this in an actual model its going to be mirrored and attached at the top. Probably need some sort of locking mechanism to make it more believable. This would create an sort of arc and then I'm hoping to use it as sort of a locking mechanism for a pipe. Something that would be attached to a wall and the pipe would run down the middle of it.
Questions
1. When i see some examples of work, like [ame="
2. This piece in the final production probably won't be very large at all, it's a smallish detail on this ship that I am designing. I have it currently in dynamesh, and my question is this, should I use the topology tool to recreate the surfaces to bring down the polycount and then bump the divisions back up to recreate some of the surface details? If you had an object like this in dynamesh, how might you proceed from where I have it, is what I would like to know. Pretty much, how do the pros do it?
thanks for all the feedback!
I have a timelapse but it's huge and long so I think I wont bore anyone with it. First try with polypaint and with a head so go easy. Also i has no eyes, thats probably throwing away a chance to make it look more like a robot.
Hope you like

I think the concept process is neat and you've got some cool shapes coming out of it...but they just don't work as hard surfaced objects. You're going to have to stick to something til the end if you're really going to learn how to make your current workflow succeed.
