Nice jacks. I just realized how long it's been since I've seen jacks or any reference. Do girls still play with thems somewhere in the world? Great lamps too!

For the line view, you have to activate "view -> hidden geometry". Export an image and combine it with a rendered version of your model with an image editor (e.g. gimp). (max. dimension 1600px!)
You can add this image and the model as attachments to your post.

Thanks for the help

here is my first try :

Thanks Cotty. Fur makes it all wonderful, haha.

Great tutorial showing real-time subdivision modelling of a car:

[Rich O Brien]

You should run Split Donut on the n-gons. It will give smoother results with less geometry.

I changed the model accordingly (V2)...

[Rich O Brien]

You should measure the poly count between the v1 & v2.

I don't use Artisan to sub-d but have noticed that quad based meshes have lower face counts than those with Ngons present.

Obviously the catmull Clark algo doesn't know how to efficiently divide an Ngon. Which creates lots of unnecessary polys and noticeable pinching.

You should also run Quad Face detect poles to see where the pinching will happen and then tackle those.

But I love to follow this thread. One of the gems in a sea 'it won't load' topics.
