Yeah, I am also useing all the tools and seeing what they do.

good way to explore programs :) but sometimes some tools only work in some circumstances... that's when other tutorials come in handy :D

Yep, totally agree. I just cant figure out what is Smooth Bevel is. I know how to work it, but what does it do.

i'm guessing it's a well... smooth bevel?

people say it is the most powerful tool, I dont see why it is.

I'm not sure if you're talking about LightWave, as there is no operation called "Smooth Bevel". However, there IS a "Smooth Shift" operation, which DOES bevel polygons smoothly, so I guess that's what you were referring to. And yes, it's a great tool.

Generally, you can select multiple polygons, activate Smooth Shift to duplicate them, and then drag them out easily.

Yeah Smooth Shift, opps :P... I tried useing it, but it just seems liek bevel to me :P

so what does it exactly do?

Im not sure, I been trying to figure it out. The answer is infront of me, but I cant see it :P. I think it is just a good Bevel for multi Polys

ADDED: Well I found out how to use it, for some reason my LW was all messed up and I reinstalled, it takes multi Polys and bevels them as it they were 1 polygon but still keeping them their own polygon.

ah... like unified bevel almost :) cool

yes, very useful for molding as I learned :)

try to spell at least ;P modeling

No no, I mean Molding, like as in clay ;P

really? you do real life molding? take a picture of your work and post it :D

I did when I was younger, but now I just lost interest in it :P

i never did any sculpting :P although i wanted to but working with dirt wasn't my liking :D

I used this clay, it was rough and wasnt dirty at all. It didnt rub of on my hands much either.

hrm... what did you make?

Mainly Cars and Heads.

ah :D any full body sculptures?

I tried, but I didnt use much clay, so my guys werent detailed or/and big. I mainly would make a Head, then make an arm out of same clay. The clay never dried, so I could make new stuff with it all the time. I shouldnt of given up that hobby.

lol i've always wanted to do that stuff :D damn cool :)

yeah, it was something to do when I was bored. That was before I moved to a place that actually had kids, so then I got into sports and the hobby dropped.

nod... i wonder if i can pic up that hobby sounds amazingly fun :)

It was a great time passing Hobby.

ya i bet it's really time consuming carving away all the little details ;)

yeah, I mainly tried and used my hands, and what ever I couldnt get, I used this tool(forgot name :p)

a knife? :D

Pretty nice... this piece of art is pretty impressive. You should implent some of your art in zelaron... =/.

don't you go rippin now :D

I am thinking of getting some clay, so if I am ever on the road going somewhere I can start warming up on it.

lol way to go getting the car all messy ;)

lol, it isnt that kind of clay. I forgot what it is called. It dosent really rub off :0)

it doesn't rub off? doesn't that just makes it even more dirty? :D

That Picture was cool.

what do you mean? the blueness? :D

It makes my hands feel dirty but it dosent rub off like make stains.

Yes the picture *is* cool, but why?

ya ppl need to explain their posts :D

Yeah, he made another post that was simple and dry :( Anyways

probably just trying to rake up the post count :)
