Here's something I did just now. I needed to make this corner sharper but didn't want to add another edge loop (would have meant more work), so what do I do? #ngon to the rescue, of course. It smooths *really* nicely too. Alt text for more info.

Problem topology. Two edge loops, one supporting the outside rim, the other the left inside rim. Needed an additional loop to support the right inside rim.Solution topology. I repurposed the outside rim to also flow into left inside rim. Ngons allow for more than two poly flows, enabling a greater degree of control.Smoothed (subdivided) result of solution topology.

I cant unfortunately post the vertical video here since it’s over 60 seconds and even if I reduce it, it’s over 50mb 😭 But anyhow, here’s two solutions to last weeks modelling challenge: youtu.be/j0eUxNKtEAQ?... #Blender3D #B3D #3DModelling

🚨 Modelling Challenge! 🚨 🧊 How would you approach modelling this shape that strikes an odd resemblance to a #SpaceMarine shoulder? 🤔 No wrong answers—I am just curious to see your approach! Share your solution with a repost or in the comments! 👇 #Blender #B3D #3DModeling

In this Blender beginner tutorial, we’ll tackle curved surfaces and use shrinkwrap modifiers to keep our shape & topology clean. It’s a bit trickier since we’re working with a curved inset on a cylinder, but you’ll pick up some handy modelling tricks. 💪 #Blender3D #B3D

Wow, 5K subscribers over on YouTube is absolutely insane! 🤯 Thank you all so much for the support and I’ll be looking forward to having new tutorial content up for you all in the new year. 😄
