Defining a door on a polygon model
This is my first attempt at a car, and I'm stuck because I'm, not sure how to definne the door without extruding the faces and making it look awful. Are there any good ways of doing it?
Thanks for any help
Simon

Then select the door panel and extract it. Then select one set of edges like for the front most part of the door and move them back just slightly to show a gap. Then on the same edges, extrude them in a tad to show "thickness". Do the same for both sides of the door (front and rear) as well as the sets of edges that you extracted away from.
Then in sub-d, select those same edges again (4 sets) and perform a couple creases on it to pop them into shape.
Car looks nice!
