Hi,

I really hope this is the right place to post, otherwise, big apologies.

Also, seeing how this is my first real post, hi to everybody, I'm really looking up to almost everybody in these forums, hoping to achieve the level of many great artist around here.

Well to get to the point of my post, I have a rather really annoying problem with my car model. I'm modeling a Mad Max Black Pursuit Special(or The Last V-8) and I've hit some problems that just won't go away. I've taken a couple of screenshots to show my problem:

The problem is in the last picture. Those ugly black polygon edges that curve over other polygons. I've tried many things, done the whole front end of the car from start to end and it still doesn't do it right(made triple sure it's a quad and nothing else), it still does the problem that occurs in the last pic, only worse. I don't know how to get rid of the problem, so I'm hoping somebody here might know. If you know, please please help.

Here are some quick old renders of the whole thing:

Much thanks in advance, TheOne aka MehMan(still need to change my internet persona here).

seems to me that you have problem with edge in the middle, it looks like its not part of edge a loop.

Hey the solution is pretty simple actually.. the problem is all the edges are merging into one vertex...

All u have to do is change the mesh flow like this..
