Blender Tipps

  • Use reference Images or sketches (Front, Top, Side)
  • Use symmetries - mirror your mesh
  • Add details very conservative (observe the total number of faces)
  • Don't smooth edges with acute angles - subdivide if you want it more round
  • Merge useless points at the end
  • Mesh → Scripts → Clean Meshes
  • Mesh → Scripts → Poly Reducer
  • Optimize your edge directions (needs illustration)

Check your mesh for…

  • Holes
  • Inverted face normals
  • Doubled edges and faces
  • Faces and pionts inside your mesh
  • Overlapping faces in your mesh
