Modelling Help

Hi,

Looking to rebuild this awful STL file so I can use it for some nice product shots/animation. Any ideas on how to go about this in terms of the basic build, specifically these curves/bowls in the legs?
Image contains original STL (bottom) and my current iteration (top).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

If you have a modeling file, clean an existing modeling file, or
Or rebuild with Retology.

Thanks for the response.
Yeah I have an STL they sent me that is horrendous so i wanted to rebuild it by actually modelling it. Was hoping maybe someone had an answer in terms of a good technique or workflow to add the inward curves on the legs.

Thanks
Johnnie

Hi, it’s simple add loop edges and move vertices.

Just cut the edges and shape them.

Below is a video that you can refer to for topology modeling

Thanks.

Literally implemented this idea before you responded. Seems to be working so far, it’s really just trial and error in a few spots.

Thanks for the help dude!
