I am currently getting started with Houdini and I set myself "building a chess set" as first project. While getting used to modelling, I am not at a point at which I am not sure how to proceed correctly.
If you think of a bishop chess piece, those always have this indentation in their head. I'd like to add that to mine as well, to have it look authentic, but I am unsure what's the correct approach. I've tried a boolean operation with a box, but this cuts out the geometry and leaves me with a hole, that I tried to fix with polybridges, but the result was very broken geo.
There's probably some smarter why to do this, but as I don't know all nodes yet, I am a bit lost on what way to use. Maybe somebody can point me into the right direction (maybe even a documentation or tutorial video URL).
Any help is highly appreciated!
