Rounding out plane

John Crean

Hi, I am currently working on a model in 3ds max studio but I seem to have hid a rock :P. My problem is I have no idea how to round of the planes I have made for the facial features. I was told I could do it with soft selection but I can seem to find a decent tutorial on how it works.

Notice how the nose and mouth section is round and in front of the face it self. I am seeking that effect. If anyone can help me I would be grateful

in max you have the bevel button, use it on the polygon doing many iterations, while changing the amount of bevel

Thank you for the help ^^

Ok so this did not really help as the geometry sort of collapses on itself after like 3 iterations :S. Anyone else have any advice?

Just move the verticles

Yeah just weld some of the verts together on each level of the bevel.

Alternativly, it may be easier to create the muzzle starting with a 3d object rather than a plane. Like two squashed spheres that you can join in the middle. Then just move verts as needed.
