What Meta released today is genuinely impressive. A solid step forward, even if it still needs work. Give it a year and this could evolve into a reliable daily assistant for any 3D artist.

AI Mesh generation is getting really insaneโimpossible to ignore anymore. I would argue that every artist SHOULD learn about it to future-proof their workflows.
๐ก Donโt be afraid of AIโitโs not here to replace us, but to accelerate our work and let us focus on the more important, creative aspects.

Interview with an artist : Irene Arnaiz Lopez
Interview with an artist : Irene Arnaiz Lopez | CGShares Can you tell us about your journey into 3D character modeling and howyou discovered your passion for digital art? I think specifically my interest in 3D sparked when I was on my second year of collage. I wanted to become an illustrator or a concept artist and I enrolled in video game development...

Good vs. Bad Topology: Why it Matters in 3D Modeling
When I started working with 3D models, topology felt like a mystery.
I made countless mistakes:
- Adding too many edge loops unnecessarily.
- Using too few edge loops on curved shapes.
- Breaking the smooth edge flow entirely.
But hereโs the truth:
Good topology isnโt just about โlooking clean.โ
Itโs about how your model behaves in rendering and animation.
This image shows the difference:
1. Good Topology:
- Proper edge loops maintain smooth curves.
- Clean edge flow ensures better shading and rendering.
2. Bad Topology (Too Many Loops):
- Overcomplicates the mesh.
- Leads to artifacts in curved surfaces.
3. Bad Topology (Too Few Loops):
- Fails to capture the curveโs shape.
- Creates jagged edges or uneven surfaces.
What Iโve learned:
- Keep edge loops balanced.
- Focus on smooth, continuous flow.
- Avoid unnecessary geometry.
Mastering topology isnโt just technicalโ
Itโs what makes your models shine in the final render.
How do you ensure good topology in your projects?
Letโs share tips in the comments!
