      Loving how effective a few polygons are. Possibly this is a candidate for a little competition? 😄

        hmmmm !!!! these look so delicious - and what a great model idea

        Wow, how simple and yet it is complex idea. 😄

        thank you guys 👍
        actually is a useful trick that i use often, in particoular for food.. tracing a simple shape with a very "minimal" topology on the very same image i want to planar map to it.. then i do a first iteration, texture it with tru paint (and some manual tweaking) and collapse to simple mesh.. just to add a few vertices to work with VT.. i find that in this way the texture is more easily preserved from distortion.. after that i tweak it another little bit, i run subD for a couple of final iterations..
        i have to find a couple of italian salami & prosciutti i did with the same tecnique some time ago..
        i got the collapsed meshes, but i'm not managing to find the proxies animore 😒

          You Both are absolutely right - I am still impressed and gave this Croissant a quick test render and
          I am also impressed, how well such a very very small texture can work - Which again is effective 😉
          Marcello, thanks for posting and sharing! I love this contribution very much!
          Anyway I know what I'll have for breakfast tomorrow morning with lots of butter and strawberry jam...

            the fun fact is that the texture popped out from an architect's concept model for a bar/cafe, wich was filled with some wharehouse "gems" like this original croissant below..
            i ended up doing a massive cleanup of all this terrible stuff (all of this is intended for mid-distance render btw, not suitable for closeup HIMO) and as i noticed the low res (but nice) texture and it was like "ok, challenge accepted" 🤣

            BTW that 313 is super!! 😍

              Donald Duck´s “313”
              Besides all these many great modeled and rendered cars here and elsewhere in the web, this one should not be missed I think. (No joke, this Donald Duck´s “313” is my very first ever modeled "car" 😄 )
              enjoy!

              Except the numbers on the license plates, the entire model is done with SubD
              (proxys are attached as shown in picture No.4)

                Thanks for the breakdown, very generous, I am still struggling with quads and having a model like this to study is just the ticket.

                          same to me Barry - I´m also "still struggling" with the quads 😉 and without the examples here there would not be a "313" possible for sure. Meanwhile at least I succeed with simplifying some things. I add 3 little detailings below (to leave geometry as simple as possible), which can not be seen in the BreakDown above and I hope this will be useful for your works as well.

                            No... whenever I start working on it I end up writing an extension or enhancement to aid the modelling... facepalm

                                  Errm, that would be a white whale. But then you norgies eat whale. So maybe it's a lightly grilled whale.

                                    You know, I started modelling that car so many years ago - in 3dsmax. It's starting to become a haunting ghost. At some point I need to defeat this thing. My bluewhite whale.

                                            This is a great vehicle - This tank design look more nice than threatening. Great details - does one chain link(?) consist out of 2 single parts?
