Alright, model a human hand with good topology. Fair bit more complex but you should be able to pull it off.

For the life of me I can't figure out how to split this into two parts for the mouth

Ok there it is

trying a capybara instead

paws and legs still look like shit, but i think i'll stop here...

Only reason to subject yourself to boxmodeling a hand is to perform an exercisein topology and possibly creating the blue print of your primary forms, if that's how you choose to go about it. Otherwise these organic volumes should be sculpted, unless you want to start making faces hyper autistically by pulling out vertices on the z axis from a 2d face mesh.

Which is what I wanted him to do. It's a good thing to model early to gain an understanding of establishing core loops and correct topology that's suitable for animation. You learn the fundamentals there, next time you retopo a hand or hell even a face you sculpted, you'll know what to do.

>from topo horse thread
You have a few paths you can go down for topo.
>1
stop what you're doing now and fix all of the topo. Make every limb continuous and flow into the torso. Trace out folds and muscle tissue. Might be had to do on a capybara because theyre so furry. If you're going to use a fur sim then model a naked capy. IF you're modelling fur then you have like another dozen decisions to make. anyways, after fixing all topo, progress refining the shape and when you hit smooth it will look good.
>2
load what you have into zbrush/ect, refine it's shape to completion and then use its retopo tools. Then do fine details on your retopo'd mesh.
>3
Keep going extruding shaping until you're at you final shape, toplogy be damned. Then go back and fix the topology all at once. If you are rain man levels autistic you might like doing it, and that's about the only reason I can give to do it this way. It is the most work.

If he has a working topology. What’s the impediment of treating the wire mesh as a sculpt? Wouldn’t that be faster than joining shapes in zbrush? Cause I find it that way. Isn’t that the principle of a base mesh? I’ve always treated zbrush as the last step in modeling. A finishing pass to get the high density detail. You gotta build from simple to complex, but if you work the other way around good for you.
