The Electric State
My 7 part training series is available now on Boris FX to watch for free. You can also download the project files! Training Series | Boris FX
TopoTalk 38
In this session we look at sharpening curved geometry under subdivision. NotesBlender version 4.2Thanks to relic.xyzfor the question and model.
The Electric State - Title Modeling
Here's another exclusive peek at my Electric State trailer title creation series. The series is done and all 7 tutorials will be available for free, including project files. I'll post a link when available.
02 Key Tools - 05 Shrinkwrapping
Key tools and concepts to save time, model correctly and create seemingly complex meshes with ease. I've skipped parts 1-4 as they are older C4D tools. This section covers projecting a mesh using Shrinkwrap, which is a vital technique for subsurface 3D modeling. NotesIncludes C4D and Blender work files.
The Electric State
My upcoming 7-part series I've created for Boris FX, shows how to recreated the Electric State trailer logo resolve using Illustrator, Blender, Rizom UV, Substance Painter and After Effects. This is an exclusive peek at Part 1.
01 Geometry Basics - 05 Diamonds
Important, fundamental geometry concepts that are the foundation to correct modeling. This section covers using diamond quads to split edge flow and control edge count.

01 Geometry Basics - 04 Normals
Important, fundamental geometry concepts that are the foundation to correct modeling. This section covers the importance of surface and vertex normals to modeling, materials, and rendering.
01 Geometry Basics - 03 Edge Loops
Important, fundamental geometry concepts that are the foundation to correct modeling. This section covers the importance of loops in edge flow, adding and encapsulating detail.
01 Geometry Basics - 02 Redirecting Flow
Important, fundamental geometry concepts that are the foundation to correct modeling. This section covers tools and techniques for redirecting edge flow.
01 Geometry Basics - 01 Directing Flow
Important, fundamental geometry concepts that are the foundation to correct modeling. This section covers quad workflow and its importance in maintaining predictable edge flow.

How to Model Suggestions
Okay so I'm not modeling a suggestion 😁... but I would like your suggestions for everyday things that aren't too complex but you're wondering how to approach them.

Bolt and Screw Head Library
Here's a library of screw and bolt heads I've put together. I've included the renders which you can use if you decide to add it to your own Asset Browser as I have.

Porcelain Pin Insulator
1. I started with a quad sphere, cut the bottom off then extruded down to follow the guide.2. Working in a Mirror object and cut the saddle shape in, reworking the geometry to remove triangles and keep edge flow.3. So the bottom part of the saddle is pretty hard, especially without any indication on the blueprint. Thin...
Clevis Thimble Model
I created this in response to a request. The blender file includes the guide images and my working if you'd like to break it down.
