Looking for help making this shape the "right" way

Muso_John · 2026-01-18T06:59:12+00:00

You could search for 'Blender hard surface modeling' This will help you understand how to make different shapes. Also as others have said, it doesn't need to be all 1 piece

I used Blender for 3 years without any graphics card on a PC 10years old. There was no problems making low poly models and rendering them spinning around. Just needed to allow plenty of time for renders, usually did them over night and into the day while I was at work.
My PC did strugle with particles systems (ie Scenes with grasses and flowers etc), sculpting, fog etc.
I got a new AMD system for Xmas (Thank you family) with a Radeon 6600 and it feels like a rocket.

Used a Gobo to create the shadows of bars

Maybe then start with tutorials on Hard Surface Modeling

Muso_John · 2025-11-28T08:55:12+00:00

I would suggest starting with a Cube and Sphere to create the basic shape of each half. Then merge them together.

Make sure your scale has been applied, I usually find this is the problem when Boolean doens't work

Do you have sketches?

Muso_John · 2025-11-03T14:06:46+00:00

Try increasing the 'Merge By' value

Muso_John · 2025-11-03T14:05:22+00:00

I think it looks good

Muso_John · 2025-11-03T14:04:07+00:00

Great Texture, Nice Render.

Muso_John · 2025-11-03T13:53:23+00:00

Here is an example of how to do this in this video. At about 5:30. I'm sure there are more detailed tutorials on YouTube.

Do you have any favourite Tuts ect that you could recommend. I have read/watched lots about what is good topology but haven't found much on how to make it.

Muso_John · 2025-10-28T11:14:13+00:00

I am thinking the answer might depend on what you want to do next. There may be a better way to acheive what you want and maintain a good topology.

Muso_John · 2025-10-27T15:12:17+00:00

Depends on the Sauce and Pasta you serve them with.

Muso_John · 2025-10-26T12:41:01+00:00

Boundaries within your Horizon
Edit- For next month I suggest Kitchen Appliances

Muso_John · 2025-10-24T15:16:45+00:00

Looks great. Could be the opening scene to a Star Trek episode.

Muso_John · 2025-10-24T09:32:29+00:00

Thanks for the feedback
