how to create shart rond edges

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

nonononono! not crease edges!

2 edges close by eachother in polys makes a sharp edge.

Or 2 isoparms in nurbs by eachother.

with crease edges you can't specify the hardness of the crease. You can either do a partial crease or a full crease, and nothing in between.

oh, I didn't know that. Still I (I personally) prefer the polygonal method.

first step
for polygon surfaces this is what it looks like, from here you can go to sub d or just smooth
