So The easiest way to test this (because your mesh is fairly simple)YMM said:Hello.I have something to ask, but in the case of the shape of the image below, where should I put the support edge?I plan to apply a subdivision surface to this mesh.I feel that the area marked with a red circle is particularly difficult.
Is by doubling the density.
So 8 sides, 16 sides and 32 sides. And see what happens with the mesh.
Now lets use the Mesh itself to automatically use it as a supporting edge.
So I start with a 24 sided mesh this time around, and make sure that my box mesh that intersect with it, Simply is between to edges so I automatically have support edges.
If you can, always try to use your existing geometry to support the mesh that will intersect.
PS! the higher the cylinders density is, the tighter the edge can be.

Re: i sometimes have trouble engaging with the community
we are all awkward kids who didnt fit in, some grew out of it, others didnt. i can assure you, nobody here is "cool" :P
just make cool art and don't be an asshole, you will fit right in.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (75)
Have some free time so like Skrupps I'm going to get some sculpting practice with the brazier. Thinking that I'll do a stylized and a realistic sculpt of it to get practice on both. For now though I've got the blockout done so I'm ready to sculpt tomorrow.

I'm making progress! Getting this whole scene done by the end of the year feels like a lot, but I'll be happy if I can get some of the major parts all the way through the pipe.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (75)
Am I the first one ? 
I've been blocking out the scene on my free time, still trying to figure out the shape/scale/placement of objects. Right now the two 'throne' like mesh are probably too small and not wide enough :c good thing is that most objects seems to be symmetrical, so only have to model once! I had problem figuring out some of the shape so I took some liberty with the design. btw when does the challenge 'end'? is there a date ?

Kanc3 said:Hi all to the master here, I'm pretty new to 3D and I was trying to model a halo battle rifle called BR85HB, and I faced some problem which I don't really know how the topology work at this section because there are like hole etc, wonder if anyone here know how it work for the topology?
So sometimes when i think something is to advanced, I usually tend to break it up to smaller parts right, Concentrate on on one and slowly work myself on the next piece. When I am done, I try to Merge them together. Try it that way?
Also, try to show your example before posting.
So I will use photoshop once again.
Two ways to go at least for me. If something is hard I can also use the technique to draw how the edgeflow would go.

In this case, this piece is rather flat, so should be easy to use ngons and tris everywhere without having issues.
You could either split this up in three pieces and work them out (without adding support loops). Then merge and add the supporting loops.
You can go with the bigger shape to smaller shape workflow.
Primary = Build the shape without adding the bevels, around the shape. KISS (Keep it simple stupid).
Secondary = Now I would add the bevels bigger cut-ins that I know would not work well with floats (or I need a denser shape before adding them). I could also add Support loops in this shape. So it holds when Subdividing once (turbo smoothing). 
Tertiary or floaters = With a denser cage, I can now either add my smaller details and merge them to the mesh Or use floaters.

Kaito_Mei said:can anyone tell me how to do the hinge here? I do not have a clue how to connect the panel with the hinge...
break down the shape in Photoshop/whatever floats the boat
1. Primary shapes, Without cuts. Just a box version of it.
2. Secondary shapes, cutouts, and so on.
(3). tertiary shapes (smallest shapes)
4. But I just wrote floaters here, Works fine to have floaters.
so.. yeah I was to lazy to finish it, but you can simply see the fast blockout here. And now for this drunken pirate, time to sleep.
Apparently I was drunk yesterday, but I did do more. But I just forgot to upload it. Apologize. Also a big fat Sorry To @FrankPolygon and @Perna ... For ruining the topology.
