Either way works, I wouldn't shy away from ngons. I rig and skin characters all the time and ngons aren't problematic, in a lot of cases they are ideal. You do need to be mindful of how it will triangulate because that can cause issues but that is really easy to manage. Most of the time I focus on weight painting and don't…
Create a helix, decent amount of edgeloops, and then adjust the helix until it resembles the overall shape of the object you are modeling. Then, you can easily use the continuous edge loops to reduce the triangle count and flatten out the outside edge to get that flat cylinder look. I am not sure if that made sense, but…
Hello! I'm currently looking for VFX tutorials similar to this: https://liamandrews1.artstation.com/projects/8BXOZQ I really loved how the author showcased step by step, enabling/disabling elements of the composition, as well as showing the entire composition blending togeher.

This is driving me crazy and I'm hoping someone can tell me how to fix it. I'm trying to set a hotkey to select edge loop, but don't seem to be having any success.

Hey all, Hoping someone here can help me with a problem I seem to come accross quite a lot and have yet to find an elegant solution to. Apologies if this post is wordy as I find trying to describe this problem a little tricky. Basically I need to add some support loops for a very basic shape but it has this unusual cut-out…
Hey there PC, I'm trying to model a helmet for a character atm. Here's a quick screenshot or two. My problem is though is that I had to add a bunch of extra loops to gain the support for my multiple eye holes. I know its not going to be deformed but I would really like to be a ble to tidy it up a bit, plus the…
Hello people of poly count, I am a total noob to this so I do apologize if this question is stupid. I am trying to insert a edge loop into a peice of geometry using the multi cut tool in Maya 2016. The pictures will help explain better. The tool creates the edge line but misses a peice. When I try to insert the missing…
