Say delete a portion of your mesh and the grid fill, How do you know where, when and how many edge loops to add to the grid fill area. I'm learning to make clothing for my character.
Is it bad to have vertices or edges that don’t continue throughout the entire mesh? Like having one side of a mesh be dense while the other side is simplified? Like the front of a face being dense to get the details but having a few quads for places like the top of the head? Thanks!
It depends on the situation - in hard surface modeling, you can have many N-gons because the surface doesn't deform. With characters, "good" (quad-based) topology becomes more important because the characters need to deform. You can go from dense to simple with quads though, if you follow some tricks: th-cam.com/video/0qIxrMSRlPA/w-d-xo.html
These are great tips, I'd love more of these topology videos!
Thanks!
Indeed, good topology is super important and tips/tricks to make it better are rare. Please more topology tips and tricks.
@@RWLuckyLuc Thanks! I'll see if I can think of some more.
the first 9 seconds showed me how so solve a problem I've been stuck on for days
you are a brilliant professor. i'm from another country, i don't know you, yet i still learned to use blender from you. 2020 bitches.
On the internet, we're all from another country aren't we? :-) Glad to hear you're learning Blender from me! Thanks
Спасибо! Очень полезная информация!
Thank you!

Hah, I didn't realise you were commenting on an old video - which I then recommended to you. Yeah...
I just thought, you could have a hidden plane (which doesn't get rendered) to dump all your mistakes!
