Yeah @shanr They are technically grown-up toys haha!
Don’t pay any attention to the DOG image on my submission, that was NOT a decal by any means I was just trying to figure it out last minute and ran outta time.
@theluthier One thing I wonder if you could cover during the live stream would be how to add a circular cut-out on a rounded surface that will not cause the main rounded surface to “deform” weirdly with subdivison. There are a lot of Grease Fittings on my loader arm parts and most fittings will screw into threaded holes that would go from the outer part curved surfaces all the way to the pins “pivot points“ for rotation, the curve surfaces are typically the areas of least metal thickness and make for good locations to drill out material. High areas of friction require regular greasing applications to preserve their integrity So grease fittings or “grease ports” are placed for ease of adding lubricant to high friction areas with a grease gun.
Jonathon posted a video that I believe is relevant but it probably means most of my low poly parts will need an applied subdiv to use the trick a little better? Or maybe you could just show how to do one during the live stream. You’re probably going to have to figure that out as well. We will also probably want to use the “same” size grease port fitting across this DOG too so maybe having one built with help anyone else who has need to use them?
Jonathon’s video on youtube is posted below.
