As shown in Figure 7.1, select the edges starting just above the knee and
work your way up to the groin.

Finally, adjust the area so the muscles can be seen on her inner thigh
( Figure 7.1 d).
●
Next, create a new edge loop around the thigh as shown in Figure 7.2. This
will allow us to adjust the thigh further, to give it a much better shape.
Moving on, let's look at her knee. Now, we have very little to work with, so i rst
we need to update the topology.
●
First, hover over the front vertical edge and press

Cuts
around the knee area ( Figure 7.3 b). This gives
us eight quads instead of two, which should be a perfect starting point.
●
Now we need to isolate the knee a little, and enclose it in its own edge
ring. Select the edges around the eight middle quads (Figure 7.3c), and
perform a
Bevel
operation ( Figure 7.3 d).
FIG. 7.1
Add in extra edge loops so we can include the thigh muscles.
FIG. 7.2
Add an extra edge loop to help dei ne the thigh.
