Well I just kind of have the feeling that if I gave this to a hard-ass OCD art director, for example, it would get sent back to me with the current topology because of reasons that I can’t yet identify. I’m trying to understand how to make sure the topology is beyond good-enough.
I have a lot of similar pieces to model and any bad habits I do in this piece will multiply so I have a strong preference to getting this model looking like pro topologized it and understanding all the topology choices before moving onto the next one (which is more complex, but similar in many ways).
