I have, what I thought, was a pretty simple topology. These are the feet of a character. The right toe should be pointing up.
I inserted an edge either side of the centre so I can separate them.
When I click OK the topology complexity increases by quite allot.
Is this bad? Should I be doing something different?
you have the insert mode set to "exact". This mode will preserve the existing geometry exactly, but the cost is this added complexity to the model. If you choose "simple" for the insert mode, the complexity will be much less, but this can introduce geometry changes
The reason fo the increase in topology is that you have committed the ultimate T-Spline sacrilege when woking with triangles. You should avoid all triangles in T-Splines. Works with quad faces only. A polygon with 5 vertices is OK as well, but not more than that.
