By zcknff13 4 years agoSo im trying to make a tree house/type map and its not real complicated its just for fun, not to look good
so i have my sphere, and or cylinder, or whatever it might be
is there any way to cut segments out of the shape like "Carving" it maybe... idk
and i also am wondering how to make more corners on a sphere or cylinder cause its too jagged
There's a thread around here that explains carving in 3dsMax, if that's the program you're using.
You cannot carve spheres. Use vertex manipulation instead.
Ehhh im not convinced... theres gotta be a way
KatFish is well known here, I'm sure he/she knows what he/she is talking about.
You should NEVER use carve for anything, much less a complicated shape like a sphere. Basically, the carving tool does a HORRIBLE job at figuring out how the divide the brush being carved in to parts. This leads to big problems with VIS.
Here's an example:
^^ Carved hole. ^^ ------------------------------------------------- ^^ Hole made with the clipping tool. ^^
Looks good, and yea i tried to use the carve tool and all it does is freeze up hammer and i have to close it, luckily i save often
and yea i will try to find the"clipping" tool and figure that out
thanks sheep, thumbs.
Ok sorry for the double, how do you cut the end off of a cylinder, and this clipping tool is really confusing

Lol i hate asking so many questions because i always spend like 20 minutes trying to figure it out on my own, then i fonally break down and ask, and then about 30 seconds after i ask it seems to just click in my head and i figure it out
