and i was wondering how would u show "cracks" like where to plastic meet and form a indent (sorry cant explain what they are) thanks josh

showing details depends on the geometry your using as there are difference approaches to Polys than NURBS or Sub-D's

Amen to that! Sub d's will be easy to use to make good buttons, and you could add a movie texture for the screen, but that'll come later. Good luck!

so i should create a sub d and scale it in? (its a polygon cube) sorry if this is a really beginner question but i cdidnt understand how i would do it could i create 3 sets of divisions close and pull the middle one in? :blush:

ok update on the "cracks"

any comments welcome and any help even better lol

Pretty hard to give feedback when you have so much left. Get all the features (buttons, screen etc) on first and then see what you can improve :)

The only advice I could give you now is to continue shaping your cell, which is kind of obvious :P

yeh no problem if you got nothing to say i just like posting bit by bit up i hope you dont mind it makes me work harder at it for some reason and at the end i like looking through.

can i ask how would u sugest doing buttons? should i extrude sections or is there a better easier way?

Buttons shoud be seperate geometry, the screen an extrude.

thanks ok so create a new shape and combine them yeh do i merge vertices? btw thanks for the reply i cudnt think which to do

Dont merge or combine any of the buttons.

oh i thought u combine all things so it one object but ok thanks for the help ill get onto it straight away

what type of phone are you modeling?

looks like a sony ericsson :)

does too but you never know it may be a nokia :p

similar shape to my phone brick phone,

im so glad u guessed it is a sony erricson that made me happy thank you im glad im doing something rite its the t610 its my old phone my k750i broke :(
