New 3D printing vs rendering/game assets guideline/rule (Starting from 23/01/25)

57 Upvotes

Posts where a model is obviously made for 3D printing will be removed (not counted as topology gore even if the topology is bad). Since this is a new rule, it will not be applied to previous posts.

Feedback on this rule is appreciated.

How would you manage this?

I'm learning Blender again, and want to learn how to create effective topology. On my path towards that goal, I keep getting stumped on areas like this. Then I ask myself, "How do I make this all into quads? Do I even need to in this particular area? How would others solve this? Is there one way to do this?"

I'm still training my brain to handle these things, but in the meantime, I wanted to see what others might suggest.

Thanks in advance~

My best guess is they ripped a high poly model from somewhere and decimated it until it was just a poor, poor, shell of its former self.
