How do you model?

Just curious, what type of modelling do you guys mostely use?

i voted box because thats how i start out, but i use some of it all while putting it all together, some of the ways work better for what your doing

S-D and Box, in 3dsMax it is easier to Box model than spline model, because, often, spline modelling takes you over the poly limit

IMO, box are for mech's / space stuff. BoxModelling are sharped edges, unless you box modeled a character, and you smoothed it.

I picked sub division.

All.

i model with boxes which when in max turns them into triangles...
thats the way blizzard does theirs so thats the way i do mine

Can you explain it more detailed?

I usually use boxes, but then again I don't do alot of moddeling. mostly I just edit models

detailed? what else is there to say IMO? haha

Box, thats how you are suppose to make Low poly models.
If you look closer, all (or maybe most) models in WC3 are boxy in some way.

I use box for WC3, but I use other methods for different games. I've used all these techniques at least once

see thats what i mean...totally agree with ya man..

Box modeling is the smartest thing for all games, just box model the body, and if u have a huge amount of polys to spare, model each article of clothing. It's not smart to model every single part of the body seperatly, because that's only good for hi-res stuff. I guess spline modeling is ok, as long as your limit is over 1500 polys.... but for GAMES, box model all the way, i even use it for hi-res stuff

i usually just start out with an idea of what i want and use a basic shape that looks like wut i want like a box or sphere or somethin and then convert to editable poly or mesh and customiz the $*** outta it to make it look like wut i want.
