You can remove loops by selecting them and hitting Ctrl + Backspace. This removes the edges AND the vertices. Just hitting Backspace will remove the loops, but will leave the vertices. marq4porsche - Yeah, there is a Collapse tool in Max.
Thanks! @frell, I did place all of these by hand, but I kept wondering... there must be a more efficient way. I'm not sure though. @marq4porsche - I can remove edge loops by just selecting them and hitting Backspace, correct? Is there a way to lower the amount of loops without re-drawing the shape? As far as the shape of…
Your textures are looking great! For the model itself you can loose some of the unnecessary edge loops when you get higher up, it'll save you polys that can be used to add extra branches and such. You can make the trunk thinner as it rises as well because it looks too thick at medium height. Also don't be afraid to spread…
