I answer in a seperate post because searching for tips and tricks will become more difficult if we first have to wade through all replies /)

I was just wondering have you written any books?.........I found your Messie tutes excellent,except when I lost the plot in some places and couldnt work out how you had gone from one step to the next,but that was no fault of your tutes

No I haven't and I don't think I should. Writing is not my metier. I'm glad the meissie tutorial had some use. However it is an ancient tutorial by now. Written in a pre Edge Extrude and Cutter area. I wouldn't apprach building a human now in the way I descriped in the tutorial. Partly because I've learned as well, partly due the tools. Still, some parts of the tutorial are OK. ...And once you've done it you will know pretty much everything there is to know about working with Cinema's model tools for polygons. So in a way it still serves a purpose =)

don't know what I'm doing wrong - can't use the exellent bridge technique..

If it doesn't work the row of polgons weren't closed, like in a cilinder. So it doesn't work on a plane.
I'll add some pics how to do it with object that are in a symmetry object.

Cheers,

bunk

YOU WROTE MEISSIE????

You RAWK!

I would be interested in seeing what kind of changes you'd make to Meissie. The only part that truly lost me was the Ear.

I know of the ones at the maxon main site, but is there a way to get all of the Meissie tuts in a single pdf instead of seperate ones? I never thought about that loop divide before... ...I almost hate you. :)

looping and the bridging is a great trick, I see that everyone will truly get something out of this. Thanks bunk, and I can see a few posts in the thread already, I wll ad some tips when I have time to make them clear with images and such.

Great stuff, and still waiting to hear if I can be amod too, but if not are youinterestedin helping Rick out. For some reason I think Rick is going to be a tad busy to totally keep up with ths by himself, and it is always handy to have to mods

that would be one HELL of a huge file.

Also, the PDF images are very low quality compared to the ones on the web pages. I found myself going back there because of it.

uh YOU wrote the meisje-tutorial. i just want to say that this tutorial taught me really much, i had never seen a good approach to character-modelling before. well thanks, also on behalf of all the other c4d-users i know who found this tut very encourageing and helpful. and btw i have been using the bridge tool in the way you describe for years now, just since i worked through the tut :)
