Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
@christrom It looks like you're headed in the right direction. Like Eric already mentioned, what you have would be fine for baking in most high to low game art workflows. As far as a light technical critique of the model and topology: if the goal is to create accurate, detailed high poly assets with a relatively even… -

Well, for offline then nitpicking on amount of edge loops really doesn't matter, it's all about the end render(s). You will be rendering the same thing multiple times, daily after daily, client after client, etc. So some level of optimization helps a bit. But if it pushes you over budget, it's a waste of effort. So… -

2300511685 Overall it looks like you're already on the right track. It really just depends on what the model is for. If it's for games: the brake has a very rough surface finish and it's a very small part that's typically further away from the player's main point of view. So the current high poly is more than passable… -

@praba_art Welcome to Polycount. Consider checking out the forum information and introduction thread. Try blocking out both shapes before connecting them and use the existing geometry in the curve as part of the support loops around the base of the intersecting cube. That way the support loops on the intersecting shape can… -

@christrom Not a problem, glad to help. I do ocassionaly post longer write-ups in my sketchbook thread here on polycount but no e-book, yet. Thank you for the kind words. It's nice to see a follow up post with a second iteration of the model. The geometry distribution is much more consistent and the loop flow is a lot… -

Right, I had another go. I stopped near the end as I was experiencing a weird bug with the multi cut tool (Maya) where it would only select the opposite side of the mesh. The old mesh is in white and the new in green. The top extrusion isn't there, and I simplified the hinges as I ran out of gusto. I made the main form as… -

Hi everyone. I wanted to do a practice piece so I'm trying to model a wheely bin. It isn't glamourous in the slightest, but as it is moulded out of one piece I figured it would make for a challenge. I recently learned about sub-D corner topology so wanted to practice this too. I would imagine this as a film asset, but… -

It's not so different from what you described your "usual workflow".. model it step by step.. you might have look at this to study the topology: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/free-193839-vairogs-v2-new-version-e3a9b187643c4bbb84c485b1dd2a53a3 ..IDK if this is already to "highpoly" for what you want/need. So for a more… -

@hayunchooi Welcome to Polycount. Consider checking out the forum information and introduction thread. The really short answer is: there needs to be enough geometry in the larger curve to support the smaller details cut into it. How much more geometry is required really depends on the tools and order of operations used to… -

Well I was able to create such blocky siluette but that was it. Its got those curves and so and it needs to be connected together somehow I dont know how. I definitely look stupid as hell
