    Would you model this with SubD??

        Nice one Rich.

        Did you do some work on easter island some time back?

            Dave, yours looks like an option in a Japanese Gentleman's club. Possibly coin operated.

            Rich I was serious by the way. Nice job.
            I've just had a go and it is rather complex.

              My wife doesn't let me go to that sort of place so I wouldn't know.

              Rich, you did do a great job on it.

                Ok, so here's my version of the top half with screen, with a cable. Mainly just to show that a bent screen with sharp edges can be part of a SUbD structure. All of course very random.
                Andrew's original on the left, mine in the middle and flipped for the right.

                  Gee, thanks for your feedback guys!

                  @box - yes I'd only really need it to fill a render scene but I guess detail may be required if I needed it closer in the scene.

                  @Rich - I need to get inside your brain [could be dangerous I know]. Seems breaking the image down to components is the key to building this thing up.

                  @Dave - thats the first thing I thought when I saw it too!! πŸ˜†

                  Can you guys point me in the right direction re workflow? I assume Vertex tools / quad tools go hand in hand with setting up a model before using SubD. Am I right? Anything others?

                  Cheers again, fellas. Really appreciate your input.

                    Difficulty of SubD modeling is that you must imagine how your basic form must to be

                      For me, it was a trace in 2D exercise to get the topology correct...

                      https://i.imgur.com/xcdr2RD.png

                      Then manipulate the verts to give it form.

                      I started at the charging handle because I knew it would dictate the geometry density in that area.

                        Thanks mate, makes a lot of sense.

                          Thanks Pilou, I'll certainly print these out and have a read through them... applying textures is another question I had so I'll see if I can get through the first stage then work that out after....

                          Cheers!!
