Ahh, so what you're saying is that idealized curves provided by Turbosmooth are beneficial not because they have influence on the sides, but because they benefit the transitions above and below those sides (for example, into caps). To think about it, you are right, my method makes every chamfer follow the lowpoly sides…
Wow, thanks! That's an interesting lowpoly that's different from what I assumed to be correct. For example, I was not aware that you can use diagonal edges near convex corners as that would upset the corner of the chamfer - but it seems that it's working fine here. I suppose you are recommending turbosmooth to round the…
The support loops are there to improve the quality of the bake - they force projection angle to be perpendicular to the surface over the most of surface area (if I understood this explanation from EQ correctly): Believe me, I would love not to use any support loops like those - they are extremely irritating to deal with…
