help me with this edge loops...one under another

[Electrofirma]

This is just my thoughts, and obviously won't work in all situations...

First, I notice you are rounding the top of the bandage, and smoothing the bottom... I think this is a mistake, you want a nice hard edge where the bandage meets the surface below it.

This is how I would set up my edges. I hope you can make out which edges are hard, and which are soft.

Next I would pull these two vertices out of sight, to create the small gap that one would expect to find where the two cross.

[Electrofirma]

That brings us to here!

thank you for help. It's working but when I'm adding subd here what I get:

[Electrofirma]

After you do the SubD, go back and select those edges that were hard and do a 'SubDiv Surfaces>Full Crease Edge/Vertex'.

I don't think your going to get the effect your looking for without using hard edges, whether they are poly or SubD.

[Electrofirma]

Hey, I'm sorry... I was forgetting that your using 3DS. I don't know how to go about hardening those edges in Max.

Sorry again. Good Luck :)

[lukx]

No problem. It's almoust the same thing in 3dsmax...and it's working. Thanks agian.
