I stoped counting techniques I considered as possible some time ago. It is like that - I sit and think how I can bite the thing. I try it first on paper. Sketch propable curves network and so on. I assume it costs me more time than modeling itself.
Ussualy I start new part each time I have better - different idea to handle some cases. Taking this I end up with tons of models which are very similar to each other.
However it is good then, while I see each step of improvement or fail I made during whole process.
Jacek, thanks for sharing the file. I will gladly save it and take a look through it at some point. Its great being able to see how other achieve things.
jeff for some reasons we ride the same bike - no AAX, BMX, ISDX, etc. Same I have guaranty I open models from You.
Hence, I`ve closed this subject just right now. I took some extra investigations after I uploaded model. Might be right direction to follow in future, but not now, not today.
Take a look specialy on top surf made by BB, and side one. I hope there is usefull way to bite them with VSS. I decided to choose BB, while I like to construct new elemets using existing geom, which often provides quite good curve - last group for Buttons.
Lately I got rid of almost all feats which built mouse model. I took some extra investigations to handle final top surf and the side ones without any sketched or created via points curves.
Hence, it appeared to be possible and what more - it delivered much better effects than original approach.
So what first is visible most is lack of extra patches and sh*ty edges I obtained in the previous approach
The core idea behind my new modeling approach was to base mostly on Boundary Blend surfaces which finaly provide required curves.
This, probably looks like I got crazy, but in the end it appeared that BB gives much more control over edges with curvatures on both side rather than ordinary Curves through points
