Improve Your Modeling with Good Topology – Questions, Critiques, AMA

[Jesse Davis]

Jonathan, when I saw the email in my inbox today talking about this class I was ecstatic! I’ve felt that way so many times in the past! I’m very excited and will begin the course today! Thanks again

Jonathan @jlampel thanks a lot for this so detailed course. 

I would like just summarize for other members the definitions which were presented by you in the live stream, as it might be good to memorize:

TOPOLOGY is how the components of a mesh combine to form its shape

GOOD TOPOLOGY is when the components efficiently define the intended shape and can be easily manipulated

“EFFICIENTLY” -> defines only the intended shape and can be run smoothly on your target hardware

“DEFINE THE INTENDED SHAPE” -> edges should form a continuous path (loop) along surface features

I’ve updated the Perimeter, Detail, and Fill Loops lesson to include these two cheat sheets:
