Greetings, fellow Polycounters! This is day 67 of my epic quest to master topology in 180 days. Today I tackled the plug of my Iron model and faced some challenges. I received mixed feedback on whether to use Ngons or not. Some say they are fine, others say they are evil. I’m still experimenting with different approaches,…
Greetings, fellow Polycounters! I’m back with day 66 of my 180-Day Topology Improvement Journey. Today’s challenge was to model the plug of my dry iron. It was a tough one, but I learned a lot from watching some tutorials. I tried to avoid Ngons, but maybe they would have made my life easier. What do you think? Do you have…
Hi everyone, welcome to day 65 of my 180-Day Topology Improvement Journey. In this episode, I continued to model the dry iron that I borrowed from my mom’s room. I focused on the cord lift and its shape. However, I think I could have used a better technique. I downloaded two videos on curve modifier to learn more.…
Day 87/360: Today, I searched for 3D learning opportunities. I also studied Frank Polygon’s Sketchbook and practiced a lot. I experimented with using a low and high geometry and observed the difference.
Hi everyone, welcome to day 64 of my 180-Day Topology Improvement Journey. As you may recall, I’m working on a realistic model of a dry iron that I borrowed from my mom’s room. Today, I made some progress on fixing the topology issues and modeling the sole plate. I also studied the shape of the cord lift, which is quite…
Hey guys, it's day 43 of my 180-day challenge to improve my 3D modeling skills, and I've got some exciting news to share with you! Today, I got a brand new mouse and it's amazing how much of a difference it made in my workflow. Sadly, my old mouse decided to stop working while I was in the middle of a project, but the new…
Hello everyone, this is Day 75 of my 360 days art challenge. One of the things I realized today was how important it is to have more than one reference image when modeling. As you can see in the image below, these models all fit the reference image in the front view, but they look very different when you check them in…
Hi everyone, welcome to Day 61 of my Topology Improvement Challenge. I’m back with my iron model and I’m happy to share some progress with you. The handle was tricky, but I managed to fix it. The real challenge was the temperature control. I wanted to add some cool details with circular array, but it didn’t work out. I…
Day 91/360: Today, I watched Derek Elliot’s tutorial on modeling headphones and shoes. I spent some time modeling a random shape, and then I tried a different approach for my torch model. Thank you for your time 😊
Hello everyone! It's day 3 since I joined Polycount Sketchbook and day 34 of my 180-day topology improvement journey. I'm determined to take my topology skills to the next level! Today, I started off by writing out a list of 23 things I could do to improve my skills. The first thing I did was reach out to some amazing…
