Never stop 3D modelling. Because if you stop, you’ll never know how good you’ll get. 😁
If your passionate about it, stick with it and see it through, you might just surprise yourself with what you’re capable of. 😁

Spent a good portion of the day revising my texture setup in #QuixelMixer for the new tutorial. 👀
I've been iterating on this since 2022 with each new modelling project and this is the best the setup has ever looked! Can't wait to teach you all how to make it! 😄

How would you go about modelling this rounded shape that has a trapezoid cut out of it? 🤔
Can you do it without Booleans or Shrinkwraps? Share your solution with a repost or in the comments! 👇

This works for a base mesh, but Imma have to brush up on my sculpting skills to get more detail into it. 😅

In this Blender beginner tutorial, we’ll tackle curved surfaces and use shrinkwrap modifiers to keep our shape & topology clean.
It’s a bit trickier since we’re working with a curved inset on a cylinder, but you’ll pick up some handy modelling tricks. 💪

Took some inspo from @oddenough.art and made a little modelling challenge from the question I had last week.
Here’s *my* solution to the challenge I proposed last week.
Cheers to all that engaged, it was rather fun seeing different takes and attempts. 😄

Ahh, yes, I got it. I was scratching my head at this this morning, but I realised I wasn't reading your method properly, as nowhere did you say you were using creases. 🤦♂️
I kept getting results as per the second image and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. 😂

In episode 6 of the Space Marine helmet modelling, we'll model circular details on curved surfaces. This will enable you to understand better how to redirect the flow of topology, how to create support loops, and where to place poles.

By using the relax method here and applying the subd, this is how the topology resolves (which makes sense), I just want to know the step that I'm missing. 😅

In episode 5 of the Space Marine helmet modelling tutorial, we'll begin iterating on the current topology and learn about redirecting the flow of topology and how to set up edge loops that seamlessly support several edges of the mesh at once.

And sorry, to make clear, I believe I am correctly referring to these as being the convex edges since the support loops around them push outwards as opposed to inwards

However, I am curious how you would go about this with a subd modelling workflow in mind. I can't help but feel that I am overlooking something rather simple here. 🤦♂️
I've also put those same image with a harsher matcap and an up-close shot to better see the pinching. (4/4)

Using a shrinkwrap and turning it into an E-pole seems to work best.
However, it isn't the most desirable topology outcome and does cause a bit of inconsistency in the shading, given that the edge is now split into two.
And this can be the shrinkwrap method. (3/4)

I've toyed with making the support loops less tight on the convex corners, which seems to help a little but is still not perfect.
I used LoopTools here and relaxed the support loop to push that vertex away from the edge. This can be the relax method. (2/4)

@oddenough.art This one has stumped me for years.
The concave corners resolve fine with this 45-degree inset, though the convex corners always create a lot of pinching.
Let's call this the default method. I'll go through my other attempts below. (1/4)

In episode 4 of the Space Marine helmet modelling, we'll model more complex details into the back of the helmet, using shrinkwraps and vertex groups to retain the helmet's curvature, making modelling in circular insets much easier.
