Mug Tutorial

From K-3D

"I also had another problem when I tried to model a mug. I wanted to add a handle to the mug so I extruded some faces of the mug. How do I make a connection between those two bars, so that it works with subdivision?"

This can be achieved using a few more steps: the experimental BridgeFaces plugin does what you're looking for. Currently, it only bridges single faces so you have to Dissolve the neighbouring ones first ...

Step 1: Starting point	Step 2: Select faces	Step 3: Apply Dissolve	Step 4: Apply BridgeFaces
Voila!
