Reply To: Topology Advice
Yeah as Martin says, sadly modeling and topology is impossible to do a walkthrough via text on a forum, there’s too much tricks and gotcha’s. But know this, even the master modelers have a hard time figuring out the correct topology of something they are modeling for the first time. usually there’s a lot of trial and error, trying stuff out and getting yourself into a corner and then seeing it doesn’t work and starting over, and then you take a different approach each time and you start to feel you took the correct path and you go with it.
So it’s the same for you, try stuff out, you will make a mess, you’ll try to make it better, but you have to realize it’s a loosing battle and it’s better to start over and try a different approach. Again, it’s how even the masters do it, you never see it on a tutorial because they went through a research phase before they start to record and have rehearsed it all.
One thing I’ll say is that in the corners, it’s better to have the corner quad for making the turn or you’ll have loops going all over the place if you leave it as it is. So this guys:
