About dealing with edges

[diaoheyhey]

Awesome tutorial, I saw a different style of modeling which is a bit like combining small parts together piece by piece. And you used ‘edge split modifier’ to handle edges. My question is: What’s the advantage and disadvantage to use ‘edge split modifier’ compared to adding loop around edges?

Thanks!

Hey @diaoheyhey , it all depends on what the goal is! The edge split modifier will make edges razer sharp while edge loops will leave a bit of a bevel. It’s usually better to have a bit of a bevel since it’s more believable, so I rarely use edge split when working on detailed models.
