Since no one steps up with the explanation of inflate cylindrical here's a very short screenshot series: This is after you start deform inflate cylindrical with RMB. From the left: center axis, center point, radius. Drag to 100% or type in the TAB input box. then proceed with extrusion. bevel the edges slightly to give them definition or make them hard or whatever you want to define the sharp connection. This should give you the most distortion free connection... mostly free, because it will not be as perfect as the NURBS one would be.

Now, who else remembers how to get something similar sans circularize and inflate-cylindrical... But it is a lot easier these days. (And no, I didn't do it the old fashioned way in the above example.)

(05/29/09 14:11:17) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Certainly is hardest, but not impossible. I'll try later to do it again, but starting at a denser sphere. At the moment, i could just eliminate the hard edges, and increase the octogon borders density, but - i am sure - i must start again from a denser sphere: some artifacts appeared and they are not easy (maybe impossible) to correct. Commands i used: - Extrude edges (just RMB) - Slide (to distribute edges at the surface where they are not necessaire to crease borders) - and even a "strange" combination of Scale Uniform edges + Tweak Relax them (to "eliminate/disfarce" those artifacts)* i'll try again... * To do this, i couldnt avoid to think about a plugin that could make Edge Rings segments equidistants ...

(05/29/09 17:49:19) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I tried again, and again starting with a low dense sphere. I construct a rude octogon using basically - MMB (vertex) Scale Axis to construct some oct sides - Inset (face) Average To chamfer the oct corners i preferred to use (edge) Bevel and not (edge) Extrude: maybe i am wrong but it seems to be easier to correct artifacts by this way. A hard way, as you can see at video, because it was necessary to eliminate the two small end triangles at each corner (after Bevel those line of edges)* and: - there is no way to select the "outer" sides of each pair of triangles by Similar or any other way (just manually) - after select those sides and Collapse them, sometimes you have to "complete" the operation by welding an "rebeld" vertex that remain At the 4min annoying video below (no editions...) i didnt ended the entire construction of all corners just to allow a comparision between two differents areas (one with just beveled edges, the other one beveled too but without those initial triangles) *(to construct another pair of triangles, but with less tension over neighbour surface, by creating a 5-pole) Please, caution: i really suggest anyone go to do something more inteligent during the next 4 minutes.......

Now to something completely different aka My brain hurts: How do you record your Wings videos? How do you edit them afterwards (when having the time)? Is it possible to place stops? What do you think of Wink? Best regards

I dont know Wink.

(05/30/09 17:39:26) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	But at another situation, where i slide some verts along horizontal edges, i tried mmb and rmb circularise and couldnt reach the result i would like: am i missing something?
