Re: [WIP] Mavica FD71 - Floppy Disk camera

Re: Spider mech model, would love some critique!
Welcome to Polycount! This is a sweet design, it's nice to see non-conventional mechanical designs like this. The biggest thing for me is how difficult it is to get a "read" on the shapes.

I'd highly recommend that you read those linked resources I had posted then likewise test iterations of your particular object, therefore putting into practice the 'How and Why' behind the fundamental reasoning described by @FrankPolygon Now for the highlighted areas above, they're intersecting control or support loops and…
