Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
Hi everyone, I've spent quite a bit of time getting the following form correct: I'm talking specifically about the black bolt in the middle. It seems like a normal round bolt but with a number of cuts made out and a slanting edge upwards, which ends in a curve. After trying many different approaches, this is the best I've… -

Yeah I also like modeling stuff really into it. How can I add more geo that it is spread evenly (sorry noob question). I am kinda new to this whole modeling thing. I thought adding a turbosmooth or two and on top of that keep on modeling with an edit poly modifier. I read this "more geo" thing a lot of times and always… -

bulges are correct generally when geo is not to dense (edge not to close of one another). -
