Part of creating good topology for subdividable models is to avoid T-vertices (T-verts) in your work. A T-vertex is a convergence of an edge in T formation, and the practice of using T-verts should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary for the flow of a model’s shape. If you use T-verts incorrectly, they will halt edge flow of your model and cause poor subdivision.
You should consider any vertex with only three edges to be a T-vertex even if the crossbar of the T is not a horizontal line. You can use T-Verts when there’s no better solution, but it is best to avoid them as much as possible. Below, we’ll look at both acceptable and unacceptable T-vert uses.
