Hi there!
I have to model these details, but I’m unsure how to procede. Do these require scultping (which I have basically 0 knowledge)?
Any help is appreciated!
you fake it with a texture map, or just use the knife cut feature to cut out a general shape and extrude it
When you talk about faking it with a texture map, you’re saying that I could crop the detail in Photoshop and apply it in the right coordinates, right?
About the knife tool, wouldn’t it create a mess out of the topology?
It might be easy to model it yourself.
Because this modeling is a repetition of a pattern, you can create a part of the pattern and replicate it.
You might start with a cylinder matching you repeative motiv. Then only use one part; maybe even mirroring it and then array by object offset ( circular array) on an empty and model away…
I would also just hand model it. I did some quick test not exactly the same but with the similar technique I am sure you can get it exactly the same.

It should not require sign in. I changed the permission afterward. Hope it works. The forum allows only 5mb video files.
