Subdivision Surfaces: Artifacts

The topology or mesh pattern of a model can drastically affect the smoothing of a model. Here Greg Petchkovski demonstrates how to avoid smoothing artifacts. A must watch for anyone modelling with subdivision surfaces.

This videos are extremely well produced.

Great video, at the end u mention that the hand has too many edges and u make the edges 'flow back' to reduce too much detail but how would u do that? i mean did you use the split polygon tool to make them flow back or the insert edge loop tool? If you used the insert edge loop how would you make it go in that direction?

That was ENORMOUSLY educational. THANK YOU!

This is a good guide for the character model that I am working on right now. I am having a lot of similar issues with my topology, and this video explains how to resolve them very well. You guys at GuerrillaCG are awesome!

What can I say that hasn't already been said? I'm subbing.
