Sub-D and Cylinder

Benton · Jan 2013

Hey guys,

I am working on a sub-d project, and being a complete noob at sub-d modeling, I have run into a problem fairly quickly.

You can see the flat areas from the top, and its because of the extra edges running through the face. If I add supporting edges for the box at the bottom, it gets even worse.

Should the box be separated, or is there a way to fix this?

It would be the best to use more segments for the whole cylinder. If you only want to bake this down you can crank up the polycount much higher.

What wiki said would be my solution to it, or separating the mesh from one another so you don't have to do that. Or if you were in a different circumstantial, the last option I know would be to terminate edge loops before they get to the part of mesh that they would un-wantedly make a change.
