      Is there a better/best way to subdiv model this?:

      These are my attempts, but I feel like they’re pretty messy and I’m just mentally missing a cleaner way of doing things:

        I’d probably do something like this:

          Yep as Martin did it, you need those holding edges. But you can also opt for not subdividing the model and working with the auto smooth/bevel/creasing technique. I think the Press Start course is the one that mostly uses those? Linking up:

            So weird I found this – I was thinking about this EXACT problem. It seems simple, but there’s an elegance to the solution. Anyway, thanks – this cleared up some things.
