Edge Loops?

[flingster]

when i did this tut...a while ago now...i can't remember what i used but it was either saw or cutter plugin.
check in plugins section of resources sticky thread at top of this forum. just selected the polys then used cutter i think..which worked fine.

(however i recently went out and bought deepcutliner plugin which absolutely kicks ass...so its up to you).

:shrug:

also worth reading..outside of your issue.

Thanks for the help you guys, the plugins work great. But I have a question totally unrelated to this thread which is-Can you use materials from Bryce 5 in cinema 4d? Because I love my old bryce premade mats lol, but thought it would be pretty handy if you could use it in c4d somehow, i know its a long shot though..*Crosses his fingers*

[Emberghost]

Ill take the no answer as a no then

AFAIK, there's no way to use Bryce materials directly. I think the best you can do is export the flat layers and reassemble in Cinema using flat projection.

If you like this type of modelling I could really recomend wings3d(www.wings3d.com) it's free and I think it works excellent as a complement to cinemas modelling tools atleast for me that still only have xl7.
The modelling is extremly fast in wings and then just export as .obj file that you could impot in to cinema.
Just make sure you got rid of the n-gons before.
