Its a free edge pluging that allows you to split, merge, and collapse edges. The split works just like the maya and xsi add edges tool. No more addpoints!!!!!

you are either a little warez monkey, an employee of a studio that started a project with 7 and cannot upgrade until its over, or a legit owner who isn't savvy enough with the LW scene to know that 7b is a FREE upgrade that is downloadable from Newteks site.

I'm bettin' on #1.

I'm not smart enough to figure out how to use this! Mike_RB, any way to give a quick translation of how this plugin works? sometimes shift seems to do something sometimes it doesn't... hmm...

This plug-in rocks! It should be a standard feature with the next release.

You guys know what else rocks? Mike's comments to warez monkey :)


Thanks for the info Mike

"I'm not smart enough to figure out how to use this!"

How can you not figure out how to use this--it's so simple!? I had it going in a second without trying to make sense of of the Japenese docs.

I'm excited!

Does this mean that I will eventually start modeling like Bay Raitt?...

Nah...just wishful thinking...but I can always dream, can't I?

floca: No big deal man, if thats the case you probably fit into somthing like category #2. Keep the questions coming but just be aware that the reason for most people not using a free upgrade is that they are thieves.

If they let you install plugins give it a shot, no harm done if it dosent work on 7.0

The method I used to build this head is pretty much a complete rip-off of the technique Bay Raitt (the guy who modeled the cave troll in LOTR) used in a timelapse video done with Mirai. Having an edge tool makes modeling like this actually quite easy and fun.

Nope. Still doesn't work. The network is screwed up or something--I keep getting errors. Try posting it somewhere else.

D-STORM ROCKS!!!!

They coulda charged for this or MagicBevel and I woulda shelled out dough.

I wonder what they do to stay afloat? The only thing I see on their site is some CG hostess?!??!

Great vid.

I would sit through it and give some audio commentary if I were you. Just highlighting what tool you use when
Mike RB
03-07-2002, 04:42 AM
thats almost pointless,

I used 90% of the time drag points with point radial falloff.

the rest is a bit of merge polys, bandsaw, edgetool

The only kind of confusing thing is i have a script to remove the right side of objects and another script to mirror the left onto the right and merge.....

Thats it.

I get it. But I've done some face modeling tuts before. Maybe the newbie doesn't get it. That was my point. But awesome avi and well worth the download.
