Hm, looks like a sub-d model. In that case, no need to overly optimise as long the desired shading is achieved. Maybe you find fitting examples in this thread: https://polycount.com/discussion/56014/how-the-f-do-i-model-this-reply-for-help-with-specific-shapes-post-attempt-before-asking/p176 or in the wiki…
One thing that helps me with retopo is to use Alt-X for "ghost" mode on a specific mesh. It also helps to customize the wireframe color so it's not garish on the highpoly. Lots of ways to adjust this, e.g.…
"Any other method that I can use to completely eliminate such distortions?" one technique, is use the existing geometry as a support to control artifacting once the mesh is subdivided: https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2762984/#Comment_2762984 Edit: A topic among many discussed in the subd modeling thread -…
there is a thread that orbits around you issue for about 200 pages https://polycount.com/discussion/56014/how-the-f-do-i-model-this-reply-for-help-with-specific-shapes-post-attempt-before-asking#latest but i am not sure what you are trying to achieve. so i am just guessing that you want the marked edges to be sharp?
Hey there! You might try posting in this thread - https://polycount.com/discussion/56014/how-the-f-do-i-model-this-reply-for-help-with-specific-shapes-post-attempt-before-asking/p1
If you google "'whatever modeling package you're using' boolean" you should come up on top. If you have major issues, post your attempt here: https://polycount.com/discussion/56014/how-the-f-do-i-model-this-reply-for-help-with-specific-shapes-post-attempt-before-asking/p185#latest
Textures can be improved and via the SW cannon this was originally Han Solo's personal weapon so presumably decades old but doesn't in my opinion read's as such?! the large grungy scratches in particular look too procedural lacking any noticeable variation plus high frequency 'metallic alloy' details aren't defined as they…
Unless you already know for sure you need a 3090 you don't need a 3090 - what exactly is it you'll do that requires 24gb of GPU memory? The same goes for the 5950x - what will you do that can take advantage of 32 threads ? 5800/5900 and a 3080 will get you 90%+ of the performance for (at RRP) 50-60% of the cost leaving you…
