That's modo if I'm not wrong, well, i suppose it will the same as arrimus 3d.

long story short, git gud.

i have seen many people, including from this board that make guns,cars and even robots in regular subD modeling.

>>578185

Yes!, I mean, in blender with hard ops i can do something, like that, just using bevels, but the thing is that it doesn't feel right, what i need is a workflow, after watching lots of videos they just make low poly shit and then poof hard edges n shit.

you might want to get a masterclass lesson.
its basically a lesson that goes through something that is supposed to be really hard to test your skills and improve
in blender, for example. you have this

https://cgmasters.net/training-courses/complete-vehicle-production-in-blender/
or in 3ds max you would have something like this

you can probably pirate some of these but, support the devs.

>>578180
Are you beveling? You need to bevel pretty much everything

>>578196

Yeah, but is beveling the proper method? Or is just a situation of preference between bevel and subsurface/smooth?

Also is it okay to start with low poly elements and then add detail?

>>578197
use the bevel shader like Tor does mate

>>578197
Blender doesn't have a bevel shader built in (I believe there's some script that approximates it) but yes you want to bevel (with the modifier, imo) and then bake from a high poly to a low poly (if it's for a game or animation or a really intensive render where that optimization is worth it)

>>578180
try fusion 360 its awesome

>>578208

Thanks for the advice but no, i already learned enough shit basic shit for each program, i would prefer to get the basic workflow.

>>578206

But doesn't the subsurf modifier destroy it?

>>578211

I mean the bevel.

>>578213
No? It depends on the stack order:

Bevel Modifier ( Bevel Weights )
Subdivision

Use the Edge Bevel Weight (Ctrl E, you can bind a key to it if you like) to control what edges look smooth or sharp. The power of Hard-Ops is that it very quickly does all the stuff you'd be doing by hand with subdivision, bevel modifier, mirror modifier, and booleans

>>578217

Wow, it really works!, Do you think this would work in maya as well? (Obvious tools are different, but with the smooth thingy)

>>578180
>subsurface method in blender plus edge loops looks like shit
then you're doing it wrong.
i've literally never had a problem.

>>578217
This is great man, appreciate the tip.

>>578245

You're probably right, but for example when making an ak stock it works flawlessly, but when making the receiver i don't know what to do to make the edges sharp without making the mesh round.
