I was modeling a chess set. Bishop was my biggest problem. The slice looks ok without a subsurf. Add a subsurf of 2 and ugliness happens. enter image description here I went to just practicing on a cylinder. looks ok, but I'm still get creases/folds. I get the slice by beveling a flat cube and booleaning.

So far this is the best I can get.

Thanks for any help or suggestions. Just another noob wading neck deep in blender water.

Not sure if my solution is a perfect as I would like, but here is what I ended up with.enter image description here enter image description here I removed the edges inside the slice and allowed the Subsurf to create the curve. That eliminated the mega ngons that was being created.

Here's one way I would approach it:

  • Select the faces to create the indentation, and Inset with tweak enabled. I while holding Ctrl . (If desired, you may change you transform orientaion to normal, and rotate the faces to suit your object better.)
  • Crease the edges that border the hole with Shift+E
  • Bevel the creased edges with Ctrl+B

Final result:
