3dsmax corner pinching

riklopes

Hey guys, i wonder if someone could help me with some hardsuface modeling problems..

Im trying to make the topology as clean as possible so there is no pinching.

Here are the problems im having.
I would apreciate some guidance on this, as im pulling my hair already

Yep, you are modeling too low poly. You need more subdivisions over the surface if you want to have sharper details and soft curves.

Yea he needs more geometry but not that much more, ha.

That was an old example for something totally unrelated, it was the closest thing I had without cooking up something specific for this post.

He should use a bit more but I agree don't just throw polys at it hoping it works out ok because it will be a nightmare to work on.
