Links to advanced topology tutorials

Although meanwhile I know the features of Blender well enough, the 3D editor, materials, phys sims, etc., I have to admit that my skills at low-poly modelling could be better. I know the basics about what good topology is, but I look for more advanced tutorials on the matter. The best I could find so far is this site:


It’s been interesting, but the content is very limited. This thread here must have been interesting, too:

But meanwhile all the links are broken. Anyone have suggestions for good tutorials or (still working) link collections?

Dont look for tutorials, look for artists that you admire. Watch their work, and try to break down how they did it.

It takes time to find them, and its not something that i would advice looking for. But be open minded, if you stumble across one you like, take note. Over time you will have a whole collection of idols.

Ha, yes. Doing it the hard way…

I’m just disappointed that obviously a few people did collect useful guides on topology, just that it was too long ago for the liked stuff to be still around.

Blender is both blessed, and cursed at the same time. There are SO many great artists out there who share their ways, and make great tutorials and content. But because blender is free, there is also an ocean of bad content you have to swim through to find the good stuff.

But once you find it, and start building a network of good artists, you will start to discover more, as a lot of them feature each other.

Lots of good stuff from those two links.

Oh, wow. Great. Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, a lot.
