TBee Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I am modelling a sailboat and can't for the life of me work out how to fill a space between vertices that don't sare the same plane. Please find a picture of my 3D model at: http://dl.dropbox.co...g%20Problem.gif The red shows the boundaries of a foredeck I'd like to fill. But I can't join A to B or any other vertices that don't share an existing plane. Should I be intersecting a plane with the hull and subtracting somehow? Any help or pointers would be gratefully received ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmardigan409 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I can't seem to get the link to work. I'm a little rusty but I've used 3ds max for messing about with armor. If you're using blender, sorry but I couldn't help you. Try using google to search for 3d modeling tutorials, there are quite a few excellent ones out there for Maya, 3DS Max, blender, Z-Brush or whatever program you're using. It's been a year or so but I recall there were quite a few 3D Modeling tutorials for blender and Oblivion floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorpony Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) The link is cut off so I can't see your example either, but in Blender you can select 3 or more vertices and press 'F' to create a face. Depending on how big your model is that could take a while doing it one face at a time. I usually use the Extrude tool when I'm modeling objects. You make one section then extrude it, or pull it like taffy. It creates the faces as you go. -Razorpony (Edit) I just realized you posted Wings 3D in the title. If that's another program then I don't know how it works, sorry. Edited March 17, 2011 by razorpony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
