Blender has this feature where if your dropdown menu grow too long, it will became vertically scrollable. Problem is, it's quite easy to scroll pass an item and Blender has another feature where the highlight loop back to the top of menu. I want to prevent that looping, is it possible? (For example, if I scroll further in…
In the past I've relied on duplicating the loops 1 cycle before and after in order to get correct tangents in/out of the loop end points. are there better/ more efficient ways to do this? Is my best option the TCB panel?
I want to have more edge loops in some areas, while having less in other areas. How to you go about that while maintaining good topology? For example, here is a car I'm modeling. I only need to have about 5 edge loops for the hood, but I want more for the fender. The font of the car also requires alo't of edge loops, but I…
When I try using panel loops with the default settings I end up with a gigantic mess. I start with a dynmeshed object, use the slice curve to define a few poly groups, then hit panel loops. What can I do to fix this?
Happy New Year! To start off the year why don't we do a looping fight similar to Stephen Vyas' looping animations Eg. http://gfycat.com/EverlastingLinearAtlanticsharpnosepuffer Maybe spend a couple of weeks on this? Or suggest another idea that we could do?
Apologies I can't remember the actual term for it. A lot of modelling tutorials seem to tell you that you should be creating edge loops around the whole object (i.e. if I select a face it'll go around the whole object). Is it bad practice to not do so? For example I'm modelling this sword and have made the loop go the…
Also assign shortcuts to Edge Loop, Edge Ring and Connect. I have it on Ctrl+1 = Select Edge Loop, Ctrl+2 = Select Edge Ring and I use space key for Connect. And swift loop is awesome! I have it on Ctrl+Space which activates it and then I can I just hold Shift to make the new edge loop follow the polygon flow. Definitely…
If I create a poleless sphere in max using spherify (on a subdivided cube) and then turbosmooth I get tight shading around the four quadrants that the sphere is composed of (caused by where the edge loops are closest together). Changing smoothing groups doesn't seem to prevent this. I'm basically making a bowling ball with…
When using SwiftLoop, one thing you can do is insert the loop and then ALT+DRAG the loop afterwards. Depending on which side you drag towards, the loop edges will align to the edges on that side of the loop. Err, that sound confusing but it's super intuitive when you get used to it. Give it a shot...
Hi! Did you create manual lightmap UVs? Doing so, you could add another loop in the flat area and then lightmap UV the whole opening as a straightened strip. You could probably ditch the bevel and let the baked lighting do the edge smoothing. The other way would be to simply increase lightmap resolution. Share the mesh if…
