Glock handle problem

fivestar · May 2021

Hello new here. I been out of practice and started a refresh by modeling glock. Im currently at the handle section. I have an idea on to build the grip section the solution was wire deform and maya live but come to realize it may distort the square bits. So I was going to use joints instead. It seems a bit tedious, i was if others had a better method.

Using joints will distort it anyways, so it's not a much better solution. I don't think the deformation would be that bad as to ruin the look you're going for though.

Looks like they're sunk into the handle, so deforming them isn't going to help.

If the goal is to make a game-ready model, then I'd suggest just UV-ing a normal map onto the grip rather than the time-consuming task of modeling them in.

However if you're not exporting to a game, then modeling them in is probably the way to go. Check out our thread for tips how to inset these properly: Sticky: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
