How the fuck am I supposed to model this area?

>> No.612739

model the hard area first

>> No.612741

>>612739

That's what I did and I'm still stuck.

>> No.612745

model hard area, model barrel, then bridge edge loops and smooth

Yep it did the trick. It wasn't that complicated, I was just too dumb to find the right way to do it. Thanks.

Boolean. Model the cut out.

>> No.612804

It's 2018 op

>> No.614986

just add more geometry there at firtst to get the shape right and then start to clean it up

>> No.615000

Create a horn / trumpet shape. Then use flat plane to cut out.

I did this in sketchup, just repeat step 4 to step 6 in different angles

Sketchup is all booleans. It'll probably look like shit when exported, especially if it has to be subdivided.

I had no idea how to do that when I tried blender and I gave up and never touched the model again

OP here, that's what I came up with. I used the knife tool to carve in the shape, followed by smoothing. The model is far from finished though, it's just for training purposes.

Tried it out for kicks, the method I ended up using was just subtracting bits off a plain box up with boolean shapes, pretty much the way you'd mill an actual metal block into shape, cleaned up and then threw on support loops.
I wasn't working from reference so it looks rather crap, but I didn't really want to waste time on it either, so whatever. Pretty complex shape tho.

>> No.615799

>>612736
If it were me, I would use polygons, and place them where they would logically go to achieve the desired shape.
All that is required is actually understanding how subdivision modelling works.
Alternatively, you could highpoly the shape in zbrush or something then retopo it, or bake it onto a normal map.
It is a bitch of an edge, yes, but its more than possible.
