Hmm... well I don't really think there is a correct answer to this apart from "Whatever looks right"...
.. well, generally you'll find that regular polygons will give you better response times in modeller/layout, so if you can get away with using them, great. You'll also find modelling to an exact shape probably easier with polys too. However, that said - subpatches are great if you need to do organic modelling, or really need that ultra-smooth finish to a surface to add that final level of realism... |
