Yeah this is the thing with modeling, it’s like we have to develop a Neo sight on what’s the best approach to get to a result. We are very used to a straight linear way but the more you model the more you see different and optimized paths to get to a result. And that only comes with modeling a lot.
The modeling a soccer ball is a good example of this, you’d never get to the end with a straight forward normal path, you have to go all Neo on it:
