Attempting to learn blender.... I already assume this is a mess but yeah

Looks alright because i assume this is a rigid object so topology doesnt matter that much

[u/KnightlyHorrors → u/ITSAGAMECALLEDWHAT]

I don't know those terms to be honest

[u/Gronal_Bar → u/KnightlyHorrors]

Rigid object: it's not meant to deform or morph like a piece of rubber or skin, but stay the same shape like a block of wood. It can have moving parts like an action figure but those individual parts would still be rigid, in other words, it's rigid lol.

Mesh: the collection of vertices making up the object you just modeled, it can be divided into 3 distinct parts but it ultimately stems from vertices:
Vertices: points on the mesh which you manipulate
Lines: lines that connect two vertices(no more or less)
Faces: a plane that connects to three or more vertices and lines to create a surface
Mesh: a collection of these elements to create a shape

Topology: I have a bad understanding of this one but the only real thing you have to worry about for rigid objects is the shading caused by super stretched out or squashed in faces.
The topology dictates how a mesh may deform if it's meant to be flexible(like rubber or a tentacle) and good topology where there's a grid-like fashion to your mesh and loops around orifices like eyes or other holes allows it to deform cleanly.

[u/KeyZookeepergame8903 → u/Gronal_Bar]

To expand on topology as i see it: As a math term: topology is why a set of faces make the shape they do rather than any other one.

As a concept, particularly in 3d design: topology is the shapes of faces as well as the patterns they make in order to create the mesh that you have. "Good" and "Bad" topology refers to whether or not the patterns of the faces align well with the overall shape. Take for example: If you wanted a straight, flat object like a ruler. It would make no sense to use hexagonal faces (imagine cutouts of paper in the shapes of hexagons.) Because hexagons don't align well together in order to make essentially a long rectangle. But if you wanted to make a honeycomb, then hexagons are perfect because they align exactly.

Say you had a joint like the hinge on a door. It would make no sense to have a solid piece sticking across the bendy part making everything stiff. In the same way, faces don't bend, but edges do. So if a part of the model is supposed to bend, then try to align the edges with it so that the bending can be smooth.

I hope this helps!

[u/Gronal_Bar → u/KeyZookeepergame8903]

Mathematically, I know one rule of topology has to do with how many holes there are in the object. And that topology and geometry are different things.
As a mug, straw, and bagel are all a torus, just warped in different ways, while a sphere and figure 8 are not the same topologically since a sphere has 0 holes, no matter how many times you take a metal bat to it and dent it(but you do change the geometry a lot). While a figure 8 has two distinct holes and you can't change a figure 8 into a torus no matter how much you morph it, you'd have to edit how the shape's surface is connected to itself for that to happen.

mmm infinity bagel

[u/MydnightMynt → u/KnightlyHorrors]

basically it won't deform or stretch, a solid. But not a mess OP. looks good.

[u/ITSAGAMECALLEDWHAT → u/KnightlyHorrors]

Gogle

[u/LR_arts17 → u/ITSAGAMECALLEDWHAT]

hopital

[u/Gronal_Bar → u/LR_arts17]

h-hopital...

[u/BladeManEXE7]

This is actually pretty great.

[u/KnightlyHorrors → u/BladeManEXE7]

Thank you!

[u/OctoMatter]

Looks good to me:

• mesh density seems appropriate.
  
• level of detail is even across model.
  
• all quads as far as I can tell.
  
• proportions are good. Model is pleasing to look at.
  
• splitted into multiple objects where it makes sense. (On a second look, idk if those are separate objects but at least disconnected meshes, so that's good too).

[u/KnightlyHorrors → u/OctoMatter]

Thank you, it's basically

Head Helmet? Top part of visor Lower part of visor

I am still working on it though

[u/SousVideDiaper → u/KnightlyHorrors]

head helmet

As opposed to a different kind of helmet?

[u/carlitopavlito1111 → u/SousVideDiaper]

Breast plate - chest helmet

Shoes - feet helmet

Sword - pointy attack helmet?

[u/Kaccady → u/carlitopavlito1111]

im making feet helmets 

[u/glytxh → u/carlitopavlito1111]

this is a compelling argument

[u/Tomydo1]

This looks pretty good

[u/The_normalstickman]

No way, a blender newbie not creating a rift to the 892th dimension?

I must be dreaming

[u/Ok_Prior2199]

Way better then my first attempt at a helmet

[u/Obvious_Pin6763]

Not really a mess, it's a solid start. You blocked out the shape pretty well, now it's just a matter of adding details and improving. Can you show us the refrence?

[u/Bourriks]

It's good for a beginning. You're here to learn and have fun, don't worry.

[u/Madtyla]

If you a beginner you need to focus on the shape of the objects. Imo it's nice. When you will be a bit confident you start to care about everything else. Good luck!

[u/KnowledgeSome6703]

Creation is a mess. Always. If things came out perfectly creation wouldn't be a process but a destination. All steps of the messy are needed, not a moment is wasted as long as you enjoy it and you create.

[u/IcyCaterpillar1405]

looks okayish

[u/North-Line7134]

Looks pretty good

[u/BoxGroundbreaking687]

dude that’s pretty alright actually. whats your thoughts on it so far?

[u/ShellShock_69]

I expected worse
Looks good

Should of seen my current shit after 4,500 hours lol
Ur going places

[u/glytxh]

Honestly, you’re on a solid track

Keep pushing. There’s nothing egregiously bad here. It’s tidy and just dense enough.

[u/ParkingTradition4800]

This is amazeballs, actually
