Re: How can I obtain this type of topology?

if using max....

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/editor/xv/5tt1pzc7x1ox.jpg

it's the first shape mirrored and then rotated 120 degrees twice
the geometry is edit mesh on top of a spline shape which was created using edit spline booleans you need to then manually refine the spline to get the required geometry density then it's just mirror clone rotate
the base splines...

as you can see I could have been a bit more consistent with the refine, it's worth noting that you should be really sure that you have a copy of the shape before refinement as it's a bugger to edit after.

Re: How can I obtain this type of topology?

<10 minutes - started with a tube, offset and rotated the middle, same caveats as above regarding proportions
