VECTOR

Nooo not for ages man. I use redshift:D

It's grilling time 😄

Hail the Empire! fun little render of my Tie Interceptor model 😄 (open in a new window for full size 😄 )

wohoo congrats @Igor

Never! Not unless you're fond of disintegration via giant laser beam! Execute triangles,ngons and complex poles with extreme prejudice! Jokes aside it comes down to prefrence and practicality. Leaving a triangle, ngon or complex pole in a mesh that doesn't require subdivision ( in that case, evenly sized and distributed quads are king) is not going to make or break anything especially on a flat surface. Now as personal preference and modelling etiquette I model Purley with quads, whether modelling organic or hardsurface. Mainly this is due to using subdivision surface modelling techniques for all disciplines, as opposed to manually bevelling etc. They'll be times where you're on a short deadline and just need to get the model done and sent off, or it's something the client is never going to see, and you're just delivering a final render etc. These occasions an argument could be made that Purley quad geometry isn't required if the end result comes out the same. For me personally topology is a fascinating puzzle so I'll always model in quads. Something about a clean flowing quad mesh that really catches the eye. Are pure quads always 100 percent required? No. Is it good practice to do so? CERTAINLY. V

indeed! you've inspired me to reopen that interceptor file and do some 5k renders of it XD

Thanks Wolf, she's coming together now for sure!

Deal. Looking at kits on the Internet. Nothing like having a real life model of it in front of you to work off of.

Not sure man, I was gonna manually pose her but for what I have in mind that might be a good idea

Ha Nice one man!

Some tweaks to the face and started adding a few details like the glasses, and zipper. back pack is up next 😄

Think I'm gonna do a gundam mech next when I work up the courage to dedicate every spare waking minute to it XD

Awesome man makes me wana print some of my stuff!

Sweet man I'll check it out !

HA! yea it's mine, you can't have it 😉 hmmm i think i could probably tweak the eye position a bit and rotate them outwards some what, so the position is more central to the overall eye. That being said, the eyes are actually quite a bit bigger than what's visible from the outside and it's more a style thing than anything else but i'll have a play with it :DD

Very nice man. This gives me flash backs of that tie interceptor I did. That was also ridiculously detailed and frankly painful 😂

Cheers brother appreciate it! Having lots of fun with this one !

More cartoon Animals for Amex 😄

Damn. Sick work!

I've been out for a long time but I'm back baby 😂 haven't seen you around for some time brother how you doing ?

Not much time to work on this, this morning but quick update. No longer a floating torso:D 2af01d90e3975ee65accdd7b112bf724.mp4

Forget the shoes get ready for the big ass back pack 😂😂

Hell yea baby!

Still playing with proportions but as she's a kid, I wanted her to have that big cheeked round faced look that they tend to have rather than the more narrow slender face an adult would have
