SmoothSift

[Grey]

when I have two connecting polygons that connect at a hard angle, I use smooth shift as extrude doesn't keep the extrusions connected, whereas smooth shift does.

Not entirely truth. The main difference is that ShiftSmooth creates a 'bevel'.

Set the angle to 179 degrees for the Extrude Tool and all corner polygons keep connected.

Hey Bunks here ;)

YAY another one joining the Dark side : ) LOL

I know one really useful feature of the smoothshift tool. when you need to chamfer a really odd shaped object set it to 1-5 for both settings, and there you go dropiot into a hypernurbs and your set.

Thanks Kaiskai! Looks like you selected all polys and applied the smoothshift to them.

no actually, that would have made the whole thing blockier and chamfered, I select areas and used it with the sugggested sttings, and then to get rid of odd seam or bumps, I welded some of the shifted areas back in to get nice transitions
