My reference is a bit different from the course. The spikes is much smaller ans it’s flat between them so I couldn’t use the same way as Michael did.

I did a subdevide on all the faces, did a loopselect on the middle line and desolved that. Giving me one edge between my previous edges. That I extruded, scaled to 0 then change so I was scaling pushing them out and then moved them down a bit.

Afterwards I thought that I maybe shouldn’t have scaled them to 0, so I would instead of a vertex on the top instead get an edge. But I’m not sure it would change al that much

Looks fine, though I am not sure the thinness of the crown and especially the points will look right rendered. Mind you metal might be that thin, so you could make the crowns gold coloured.

[joelnordh]

Yeah, that is what I thought too.

So if I where to add it back, how could I go about and do that?

I’m not at home now so can’t test. Could l extrude the verticie to get an edge and then fill in the faces?

[NP5]

It depends on the topology you have. It may be as simple as selecting the inner edge loop of the crown (that the points come up from) and scaling it a little inwards, smaller, adding thickness. If the points have been reduced to one vert, delete it and select the base four verts and extrude up a new one. Not reducing the thickness this time. Just side to side to make a point retaining its thickness.

[joelnordh]

Aah yes, thank you so much, wouldn’t have thought about those ways.

Will have to try it out when I get home tomorrow

I went back and redid the points. I ended up doing as @NP5 suggested and removed the reduced verticies filled it back in and extruded, and scaled them again
