Thanks imad and perna! Very educational, I see I was probably overthinking. Imad: how did you control the spacing between the three pieces? Did you start with a single object and cut out the gap? Thanks again guys
I've got a quick question, glancing over the responses in the thread I see people saying that pentagons, and 8 sided faces are useful for this model, I'm more of a character modeller so I'm not really educated in advanced object modelling, but I thought pretty much any type of ngon was bad, maybe someone can shed some…
Makes a lot of sense. It's scary how right you were about the back ending up very flat. I just tried more splines as guidelines, and the overall shape ended up being really flat. Think I'll most likely take the road of compromise, since the concept won't be touched anymore. Thanks a lot perna! This has been educational.…
Word of note: It is expected that when asking for help specific to this thread's topic, we also post an attempt regardless of result. So as a general reminder for future reference, education is not only confined too those asking but also for those that offer advice, as well.…
Hey Zac, it's not for any model in particular, it's a sub-d exercise my tutor gave me, the goal is to get the cleanest subdivision possible. Probably if it was for a real model I wouldn't bother so much, it shades quite okay from a distance, you're right. I am fishing for information here to see if someone knows of a…
Many of us have known Per for a long time and while he can be blunt, I have never known him to be malevolent. Lots of people give their time and advice freely on this forum, for which I might add, they charge a bunch of money for when they do professionally, and when they offer essentially the same piece of advice in the…
@navneethdodla94 Start by blocking out the shapes and matching the cylinder segments near the intersections. Try to minimize the amount of superfluous geometry by using existing cylinder segments as support loops for additional operations. Avoid adding support loops and secondary details too early in the process as this…
