Long time listener first time caller... I am using 3ds Max 5 and trying to build this Bugatti Veyron from blueprints i found, I found that extruding edges works best for me however, when I try to throw on a mesh smooth it ends up looking like this...(pics) what am i doing wrong, and what is the best way to A) build anything (box, etc) and how do i fix it, or do i have to start over.
Thanks...COOOBRAAAAA

Gotmilk 228 posts23 Dec 2005i am not an expert. But have u tried to chamfer the edges a little bit. -
23 Dec 2005Hmm you seems to have a dirty mesh, could you post a wire ?
Try to avoid triangles to keep a good smoothing -
Cobra_Commander 9 posts23 Dec 2005Wireframe many triangles, thanks for that. How do i avoid that?
-
23 Dec 2005Two triangles consecutives make a rectangles, by using this rules to clean your mesh, you will surely remove 70% of the triangles..
For the others, try to get them out by merging some vertex or refine..Depends of the situation

23 Dec 2005I suppose its an unclean mesh, try using weld vertics to reduce vertics who are doubled!

Cobra_Commander 9 posts27 Dec 2005Yeah, I checked out the tutorials, and followed the advice, and I now have a much better understanding.
