Hello,

Part of the issue may be that the edges and surfaces are causing more trouble due to the control point organization and complexity. After doing a few tests I've found you can get better surfaces by having less points that are placed well than more. It also may be harder since you are trying to create the entire surface in one piece. Perhaps some model planning would help so that you can create several smaller surfaces that exhibit good control point placement rather than trying to deal with one large surface. I don't think loft is going to get you where you want to be in this instance if you are looking for something past G1. Getting to at least G2 and having a nicely planned model should get alleviate some of the smoothing issues.
