It's all about breaking it down to simple shapes. Thanks.

To be more accurate, it's about breaking things into simple forms, and understanding how they fit together in 3D space. Shapes are two dimensional, forms are three dimensional.

Ahh. Thanks for the clarity.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for sarcasm, but indicating it defeats its purpose.

You'd think the name of the sarcasm police bot would be sarcastic... but you'd be wrong

You /s uck.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. If you're human and reading this, you can help by reporting or banning u/The-Worst-Bot. I will be turned off when this stupidity ends, thank you for your patience in dealing with this spam.

PS: Have a good quip or quote you want repeatedly hurled at this dumb robot? PM it to me and it might get added!

The way the teeth are drawn still makes it look flat, or am I alone in this?

Well you've gotten a few upvotes, so it seems some people do agree with you. I admittedly did rush through the demo, so the teeth are a touch sloppy. How do you feel about the little example along the left there, with the two forms connecting to the simple sausage? Does the one with the check mark feel more 3D to you, or are you not able to buy into the illusion?

The sausage part of the arm looks fine, it's the ends of the claw with the teeth that look flat.

Here lookie

Ahhh, I see your point. I thought you were talking about the teeth themselves, but yes, you're definitely right on your call that the claw could definitely be made to look more 3D by further fleshing out the planes of the inside of the claw.
