Re: Topology standards for hard surface modeling?
@musashidan The stuff which Andrew created as posted by @olgu mostly if not completely shows all quad models, therefore far from confused.

possibly the best box modeling ever ?
I thought I had posted this about 9 hours ago, but it disappeared and there's no draft. So I'm re-writing it.

Should I retopo or re-model this building?
Hi guys, I am trying to move from a SketchUp export model into Maya LT / 3D Coat, and clean it up. The problem, I don't know if it is any good to retopo model like this one, I do want to maintain the right angles and hard edges, but most retopo tools seem to expect a mid/high poly model, instead of a messy low-poly model.… -

Preparing your model for Zbrush goodness
Hey guys, I have recently dived into the world of Zbrush, and am having a pretty ok time with it so far. The one problem I seem to be having is preparing a model in Maya to bring into Zbrush. The problem with this is dividing your model in Maya so that it divides well in Zbrush. Every time I end up dividing things in… -
Mouth modeling for animation
I noticed almost everybody models the mouth closed, lips sealed. The problem I have with this, is that this way makes it more difficult to open the mouth for animation, such as using soft selection to move the upper lip away from the lower one without having the lower lip verts get dragged up too (and vice versa). So that…
