Like in every other… do a rough model and then add subdivision; re-edit the rough one to meet the form better and maybe add some edge loops (or cuts)… in blender there is also grease edges…

I had a question concerning my panel-creation techniques. I posted some screenshots in my sketchbook (post 606) but decided to create a new post here for further exploration. (I’m avoiding unrelated posts there mostly, other than my art.) If you have any questions concerning it, please post them here.
or adding some “paneled” detail like so:
Hello!

Then I put the surrounding geometry into a vertex group:

I seperated some faces from the basemesh and created a high poly guidemesh of it. (5 sub-divisions is pr…
