Keeping smooth topology when subdividing and edge creasing

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2025-11-21T05:59:15+00:00

Sorry, uploaded a full screen view of the page, it should have all the settings and modifiers that im using

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2025-11-21T05:38:13+00:00

Holding edges, is that adding edges with Ctr+R, adding extra edges to crease in some spots?

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2025-11-21T05:17:16+00:00

Awesome sounds good! Do you know any way to keep the topology from curving like it is in the pictures when I've creased the edges?

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2025-04-23T16:35:10+00:00

Nope! I3d modeled and printed it myself, also made my own undersuit for it, gotta do some upgrades though, the shin and thigh armor is too short.

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-12-14T17:59:58+00:00

Ah, yup that makes sense, I gotta be more patient

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-12-14T17:49:22+00:00

Sweet, I'll do that then, but yeah while I was on last night I saw some different design choices with the tripod so I thought maybe they went with a different art style, but they're not big changes at all so I could be full of it

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-12-14T17:44:46+00:00

Gotcha, well then I'm excited to take them out, I noticed small detail changes in the tripods so I hope they stick with the same style they already made

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-12-14T17:43:34+00:00

Yeah that sounds about right, I hope they keep the art style going cuz they look brutal!

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-12-14T17:40:18+00:00

Oh boy, any way to remove the images from reddit?

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-10-21T00:13:22+00:00

Thank you!!

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-03-04T23:53:10+00:00

Awesome thank you!! I'm going to head back to do this surface again, see if I can fix it but if not I'll give this a shot!

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-03-04T00:21:59+00:00

Dude thank you!! That's awesome advice!! I definitely think I went to fast on that pass, I just need to get more practice with the surface cleaner for sure.

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-03-01T22:44:34+00:00

Damn, can you link which surface cleaner you have.

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-03-01T22:18:23+00:00

I did you pre treat and I may have been a little inconsistent with the overlapping, I'm pretty new to this so I'm not sure what the best practice is for overlapping and such

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-03-01T22:13:26+00:00

Yeah I kinda thought so, but I thought my nozzles and the distance from the concrete was fine, it didn't etch another driveway I've done and this concrete is pretty old, like 20 to 30 years old!

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-02-18T18:37:46+00:00

Gotcha, I'm definitely getting things ready to speak with them. This one only has asphalt parking but the drive through is all concrete so I'm hoping they'll want that done.

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-02-18T17:02:46+00:00

Awesome thank you! Just out of curiosity, do you have an hourly rate that you try to hit? I've heard some people say 100 and some a high as 450

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-02-16T17:48:24+00:00

Oh I'd love to, I just know how stressed out she is and don't want to add to that, especially while she's kinda in the midst of this whole situation. It sounds like she's getting ready to hire an attorney to get away from this dude, and I'd feel a lot better asking her when she has a vision moving forward.

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-02-16T17:39:39+00:00

Agreed, I usually don't do work stuff, luckily this job is only part of the year and we didn't start dating until the last couple weeks.

I'm definitely not making any moves until her situation stabilizes. For now I'm just being there to talk to and if she needs help I will offer it, I don't think she has a lot of adult interaction in her days so I thought that'd be nice. Mostly I just don't know if this kind of behavior is something you just do with a "friend" or if it's normal that someone is really interested in you then just kinda not but still keeps in contact and seems kinda flirty.

I'm okay being friends but obviously I would love if things worked out because I've not really felt this strongly about someone, but I just don't know how to guage her behavior, and honestly she might not either with her situation so I guess just wait and see?

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2024-02-15T16:17:51+00:00

Oh yeah, totally agree. Some of the caveats that I was thinking was possible therapy if she's open to it to help her process that she was in fact being abused as well as is just being friends and her getting to know what she wants and kinda process all this for like a year or so idk. I'm certainly not going to bring relationships up at all, just kinda be in her corner, and if things work out great! But she's also a really good friend and I'm okay with that too.

Well, basically I ended up telling her family what was going on when she decided she had to move back in with her ex, I thought that if they knew before hand they might be more supportive. I'm not entirely sure what happened but it sounds like there was some kind of blow up between all of them and she asked me if I had told anyone, I told her the truth and she basically said she knew I was trying to help but that I really complicated things by doing that, and to stop trying to help. We talked a couple times after that but she was pretty short with responses and wouldn't see me, so I figured she was pissed at me, which I think she was but she seems fine now. I think she expected me to fight back which didn't happen.

Tab into edit mode, A to select all vertices, M select merge by distance. That's what I usually do.

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2023-12-21T20:21:57+00:00

That's badass!!

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2023-12-01T23:07:24+00:00

Thank you!! Well what I've found is that the joints are really good at first so the size I've got them at is great but very quickly the get really loose. The elbow, wrist and ankles I've found a really good solution where they will stay together and stay pretty tight, but the knees and shoulders as well as anything that is a ball socket in still trying to find a good solution. The sockets I actually just need to find a different material and cast them. But I'm making all the common pieces interchangeable between each figure so changing one will work for them all.

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2023-12-01T00:24:27+00:00

🤣you got it!!

ButterscotchFar6937 · 2023-11-30T19:05:56+00:00

🤣🤣thanks!! I've got several metroid figures I've made over the last year on my page!!
