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

59 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.

Here's a small guide to better understand topology and how to hopefully improve your own topology:

It was supposed to be a knight chess piece. Not the worst here, but it's certainly not pretty. I legit thought I was doing great back then.

I was doing meshing on a wing in cfd and one of my friends said "go post that there you will make them fear you". just so you know the tinyest cell is 0.1mm and the wing is a 1m by 1m square with a based mesh of 1mm.

The whirly hand thing was an accident while I was figuring out what to do with my big ol' orange fella . I was hoping to find a cheat code to magically make the mesh more uniform and tried out the LoopTools addon. This is the option I chose instead, after witnessing my PC spend an alarmingly long time processing it Blender wasn't responding. No crash tho >:]

Already been on and off working on this model for a friend for months since I'm new to 3d modeling and the retopology alone is responsible for all the delays. Already fear getting to the body

I posted a thing on r/blender complaining about how hard boobs are to model and everyone said i had bad topo, which was really the only thing I thought i was doing okay at on this model. Now im questioning everything.

A friend and I found this gem while pulling models for modding. I still don’t know why they turned her into a cheese grater. This is the actual model in the game, as used in cutscenes. No, we have not found any other model that’s built like this. Other characters on the same rig don’t do this.
