this has come up before but i've yet to find a solid solution so i'm bumping the request. anybody know of an automated / scripted solution to extrude / inset a face with a circle of N edges ? or. chamfer a vertex to similar result ? maya specific. thanks
The inset edge is crossing over itself. Try a different font that has more uniform widths within each character (the 5 in this font gets very thin right there). Or choose a smaller inset value. Or use Bevel and extrude outwards instead of inwards. There's also an option to prevent crossing triangles, but it rarely works in…
Hi i need to know how to cut a hole or inset into a mesh without using booleans. I was told not to use booleans coz it gives an un-needed poly rise, and also stuffs up textures. I found this out first hand, when yesterday, i applied a stone texture to a wall with an arch cut into it using booleans. The texture was skewed…
Hi, my name is Catalin and I'm new to 3ds max. The problem I am confronting at the moment is easy to overcome, but because off my worthless familiarity off this program I need your help. In the first picture you will find the model that I want to make and a failed attempt from the start. Second picture contains my…
Hello all, a fine day to get some work done isn't it? I'm working on a scene which involves large, flat surfaces that are perfect for BSP. The problem is that I'd like to be able to 'puncture' these surfaces with inset geometry such as damage and small windows and things. So now I'm stuck trying to figure out how exactly…
Hello, I am pretty new to maya and I am trying to figure out a quick way of capping the back of an extruded inset plane without manually aligning edge loops. By that I mean I know you can do fill hole with the edges at the back but you would have to multicut and merge the aligned edges. Another idea is bridging the back…
Hi all,I have a model (Blender) that ultimately needs to be inserted into a couple of backgrounds. The model is of an aircraft - I will need to insert into a sky background (in flight) as well as sitting on a tarmac.The insertion into the sky won't be that hard, I don't think, but trying to match the angle of the plane…

Subdivision sketch: Hotdog. This is a hotdog on a bun. It's very easy to make using basic subdivision modeling. Here's how to create one of your own: -Insert a cylinder capped with a quad hemisphere and mirror the mesh. -Add loop cuts to evenly space the decorative slices. -Randomize the decorative slices with a series of…
