Topology workbook. Volume 01

Summary: You will learn the fundamentals of good topology and multiple modeling techniques in this book. Anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of creating, editing and working with the topology of 3D meshes can obtain valuable information in this book. A mesh's topology can affect many areas of production including modeling, UV'ing, rigging animating and rendering. With that in mind, information covered in this book is not limited to digital modelers. This resourced guide is focused on manually creating the topology of a mesh, but the techniques shared can also aid in cleaning up the results of autotopology. While topology also plays a role in both polygonal and subdivision surface models, this book is primarily focused on subdivision surface meshes.
