to all the 3d people
how do i add these lines to my model as shown below

with cinema 4d offcourse

[Stu]

theyre just grooves in the model... little pieces cut out and extruded inward

[Av-]

yeah but when i selct a line, i cant extrude it, its greyed out

[Ckristian]

How did you select a line? you mean edges?

Put up a screenshot

[BeaverElfeater]

dont extrude in edges, u wont get the result ur looking for, just extrude small groups of faces in, think of cracks in a wall

[Av-]

yeah i ment edges.
but i figured it out, thanks to the "cracks in a wall"
thanks guys

[Ckristian]

Mind telling me how you went about it? I usually just select the faces - subdivide then select the faces which I want to extrude and then do an extrude leads to lot of triangles

[Av-]

yeah thats the way i do it too...

[Ckristian]

Doing a inner extrude on the selection and then doing a negative extrusion works just as well and doesn't produce any triangles.

Just thought I'd mention that as I had used it in the mic i made
