Cylinder/Bool/SetFlow and Pinches

mobpapst

Hey guys,

i wanted to make this shape right here. its a kind of scope up on a cylinder:




So i created a cylinder and booled the shapes out:





But as you can see i got some real bad pinching. here you can see other pictures with turbomsooth and so on. its even not round at all after the bool. i tryed to fix it by setting the loops with set flow up.





Has anyone an idea how to fix this or model this shape to have a round result?

There's a huge sticky thread dedicated to exactly these sorts of issues...

Try starting with a cylinder with like 40 sides or more, that'll give you enough topology to be able to keep some hardness in the cutout without effecting the shape of the cylinder.

EDIT: Yeah, also check out that thread.
