Hello...

I'm trying to model a head using 'secondreality' tutorial.

And I stuck up. How can I make step 5 from this tutorial ?
I can't split the polygon ... which tool should I use ?

Here's link for that tutorial... http://www.secondreality.ch/tutorials/modelling/head2.html

Thanks in advice.

HI. If you need the red line in 5 you select the polygons you need to cut in the case of # 5 you can then Extrude Inner. Make sure in the active tool palette Preserve groups is checked. HTH.

U can get a similar result with the extrude inner, them tweacking the points!
What i mean is Select the polys that u needed to cut in STEP 5, then select inner extrude with "preserve groups" turned on and see the result!
if it doesn't work I suggest u to try a plugin that's called "cutter" i don't remember where i get it. It is simple and accurate!

yep inner extrude does 5 and 6 together really. there are other ways in R8, first you can use Samir's DP linecut plugin, or you can simply select the edges that are being cut and use edge cutter.

thanks.

I used inner extrude and it helped. Also, you can use knife, but it's really hardcore fun.....
