Modeling Fine Detail
I've been playing with Modo for about 6 months now. I've learned my hotkeys, I can model basic shapes like no ones business, and can subpatch like a straight up mofo. For a quick example of where I'm currently at, I submit two models I've done over the last week, this and this. I'm getting decent, but I'm hardly the… -

After all the struggling, I ended up learning some stuff, and wound up being kinda proud of the stupid damn thing. :) I also discovered some… -
Re: Modeling Fine Detail
Okay, I'm trying a whole new approach here. Instead of going through and modeling each detail out separately, I figured I'd try to model out the curves flat and fill in the geometry as I go along. Things are looking good so far, but since I've never done anything like this before, I'm afraid it might end up being a… -

Guess it's time to throw down and start getting my learn on. One quick question though, how good are the… -
Re: Modeling Fine Detail
The 3x polygon thing was more an issue of laziness if anything. I could've edgelooped and vertex beveled out my holes on the base plate and kept the polycount nice and low. But by that point, a week and 4 screw up models in, I was sick of dealing with the thing. Instead of doing it the right way, I subdivided a couple of…
