View Full Version : Creating Points in R10?

I'm following a head modelling tutorial

http://www.creativecow.net/articles/labelle_jannis/head_ee/index.html

And it's telling me to add points to a blank Polygon object. However, I can't just add points for whatever reason. Has this been changed in R10 or am I doing it the wrong way?

convert your object to editable mesh and go to menue : structure: add points and click on the edge of the polygon not more is needed here :)

CTRL Click anywhere with the move/scale/rotate tool active to make new points, these days though i'd just use the make polygon tool, it's much faster.

I know how to add them, but it's saying to add them when there isn't too much of a polygon. I tihnk I figure out another way to do it, though.

Thanks Fr33k. I'm such a newb it sucks.

Keeping at it.

Maybe you were using the wrong polygon object? There are two, the parametric object and the normal polygon object. The parametric object won't work for you.
If it already shows some geometry when you create it, it's the wrong one.

I guess you're talking about eyelids. Why not create a spline, project it on the eyeball-sphere*, extrude nurbs it (negative value in all normal setups), make the Enurbs editable and then use edge extrude?
For a nose start in profile.

Much easier and you have all the advantages and fun of point-modeling

* project: see that your splineis fully covered by the eyeball behind it (it should visibly be smaller left and right that the width of the sphere) and then project view. Immediately your points are on the eyeball and it saves you lots of work adjusting them.
