As a side question, should we keep updating the original post, or is it fine to keep replying to the original post when we have new models?
Like I said.. the bigger issue was the indentation not being wide enough for the cup :D
Great cookie!
Found 2 left over 6-sided Poles. The great thing about this logo, is that it's mostly flat, so you can get away with quite a bit, but if you want to try this again, get rid of them (they are worse than Triangles in Subdiv modeling).
Also, those pointy bits, could be done the same way as the top corner:
Aww man! I thought I had all of them. Bummer.
Is there an easy/reliable way to hunt down poles? I imagine on bigger models it would get really difficult to find them.
Thank you! I can't believe I didn't catch that. Going to make my life wayyy easier going forward.
06/13/2026 - Low poly room! (Block out!)
I spent the last day-ish blocking out my low poly room. It's based on a room I was staying in while in college, so that was a liiiittle bit stressful. It looks like I definitely blew past the "30-50 items" requirement, even accounting for duplicates, so that's great! I'm planning on tackling this from outside -> inside and from biggest -> smallest. I'll likely make exceptions for things that are simpler to model, (markers, books, etc), to give myself quick wins interspersed with everything else to keep myself motivated.
I opted for a perspective view instead of an ortho view. I ended up just liking how it shaped up a bit more.
I also took excruciating notes on every single object and aggressively organized everything into zones. So there's that.
And yes, I did check against the human base mesh. Everything seems to check out! If anything I might need to bring the ceiling down to make the ceiling fan accessible, but that should be easy and I can adjust it after I've finished modeling it.
