Hi guys!

I can't bridge some polys the way I want.
The bridging operation , always occours "bad twisted" no-matter a CW selection , or flipping some polys or merging them.

Only the twisting field set to 4 seem to solve somethng? , but I'm indeed looking for other solutions!
Thanks guys :)

Not much you can do...thats why the twist function was put in.

Hopefully 201 has fixed the algorithm.

Cheers.

I used the twisting option to bridge the 12 polygons correctly (as you said) and a 6 steps radial array to copy the spoke , in a perfect circle

hi everyone...is that a tut can be made by modo ? :hmm:

Yes!

(since it is a polygonal tut!) Modo can easely reply everything , for rendering purposes ,however, better waiting V201 .

Modo's Fall-offs are very very handy to reach the tut shape .)

thanks james
but the thing is the tut's steps is by 3d max and i thought it is modo tut that can be easlly followed ...i am still wandering through modo ... :hmm:

but thank you anyway

You only need to know some Modo's tips .

For example the 3DSmax central cylinder , could be replaced by a Modo's capsule primitive

The external tube is nothing but a Modo cylinder whith 5sides and 2 insets made in the top face:)

that is what i meant i will try to follow the best i can through modo within your max tut

hope to try to make nice things

Ops sorry guy! (I did'nt understood very well):)

About nice things to do : I need a nice renderer (like everyone else)
so since I love Modo I'm waiting for v201 :)
