Poly Modelling Problem

playford

Hi All,

I've been out of 3D for a while and am getting back into modelling again but i'm very rusty.

I have a rounded corner that I want to cut a hole in but I cant remember how to do it without it pinching. I've attached a picture to highlight my problem.



Thanks
Mark

Jet_Pilot

your getting the pinching because you reinforced the vertical edge loops. I would say add some centered edge loops vertically around the corner so you have more sides instead of your two sided corner. That might help a little bit

Relax the vertices of the edges added to tighten the corners in the local axis except the ones which are too close to the hole.. like the ones here:



I think :P

Thanks for your replies.

I've been looking at this again and I decided the best way to go like Jet_Pilot said is to have more detail in the corners.

Thanks to all and a blindingly quick response from this forum. I definately be coming back here again.
