Vertices

[dvornik]

Try to get the basic shape first (use polys). Then add more edges when you need details.

Install MeshTools and csPolyTools plugins - they will help you be more systematic and think in terms of volume rather than vertices. You'll need to use edgeloops, edgerings, move vertices along normals and stuff like that.

Watch all the screengrab videos you can get, especially from Mirai people like Bay Raitt and Martin Kroll ("ambient-whisper") - try to apply the same principles.

Thanks for the video links. Is there any plugins that u recommend to use for character modeling?

the Meshtools & CS Polytools are probably two of the best (they are scripts) it makes any kind of poly modelling a thousand times better... :)

Call me an idiot or newbie, but I dun know where to access these tools. Is it a passive thing or wat? Is there a toolbar or something like that? :hmm:

There's a readme file in the zip file. Either in a toolbar or in a quad menu. Or both. You know, customise ui > toolbars > make new.

I make a new toolbar called meshtools. but where do i find the buttons? Under main ui? they said meshtools but i can't find it...
