Re: SubD strategy question

Indeed! Thanks rray :) I am currently exploring the disconnected edges approach and I really like what it gives. I am able to get rid of many loops and it looks perfect except for that same part around the area that sticks out. Do you see any possible way to reduce the pinching through topology twea...

Re: SubD strategy question

Thank you rray for coming to the rescue! Even your general rule about subD is useful to me and something I had not realized. I orbit the camera a lot and I can see areas that are pinched, but I was not sure if it is solvable through topology tweaking (most of them are very subtle). I am familiar wit...

SubD strategy question & disconnect edges approach

Hey friends, To any seasoned SubD modelers out there, is there a strategy to not get pinches and creases when modeling a smooth spherical surface with an orthogonal extrusion? I tried to move the edge holding the sides so that it does not create a vertical pinch along the smooth area at the back but...

Re: Noob question (probably)

How can I reproduce the operator on another poly of the mesh, though? It seems to be bound to the specific poly it was originally applied to. Can I copy it to another poly or group of polys through the Scene Exp? In case of deformers (called from 'deform' menu, where 'deformer' here means ''no chan...

Re: Noob question (probably)

Operators like Bevel will appear on Scene defaults when used , to navigate there and tweek the default values open Explorer (8) Application (A)>Scene defaults>Operators Inset will NOT appear in that list because is same OP with Extrude, For repeated insets, you could tweek an Extrude Along Axis ins...

Re: Noob question (probably)

to create a polygon face with the same size I would extract and keep that face, move the pivot with alt I think (I don’t use default keys) and move with snapping to the point of the first polygon with Ctrl. Then merge them with my tool mCombine :P So I have a legendary add-on creator answering my q...

Re: Noob question (probably)

Wow...You are golden! So many directions to research now. Thank you for taking the time and giving me these pointers. I am committed to getting familiarized with SI, despite the fact that it has been discontinued. There is something about this software that has drawn me in (I am a 2D guy, doing conc...

Re: Noob question (probably)

Thank you Mathaeus very much for your answer. I really appreciate it! You can always create a preset and load it for every similar bevel (or other action) you want to perform, but that ends up being more clicks than just pasting the same value in the corresponding field. My only worry is only about ...

Noob question (probably)

Hey friends :) I am slowly trying to familiarize myself with sub-d modelling, but I have been hitting some walls in Softimage. I was wondering- Is there a way to repeat the last command but without having to re-enter the previous parameters in the Operator explorer? For instance, I have just inset a...
