This made me laugh. Simple boolean operation goes wrong...


I'm sure other modelers have had some of these things happen to them. Share any screens if you have them.

I made this scene one time, from a file that someone else had opened, made nothing, and saved. and I kept getting angrier and angrier that there was no "view cube" (a 3ds max 11 feature)

I dug for a good 15 minutes through all of the options, making quadruple sure it was enabled, and looking up problems why it wouldn't show, before I realized I was viewing through a camera.

The mecha i've been working on, I was happily extruding out the mesh and working it over when i noticed a wierd seam on what should be a flat face. So i drag out the edge vert, and theres about 50 polies all wrapped around each other in what should be a flat surface

Turns the bridge tool had made inside polies which must have been caught when i was extruding around, causing a black hole of mesh inside it. You could'nt see it unless you 'dragged open' the verts. Kind of strange.

one thing i always used to forget to do when using a mirror modifier was turn on clipping... when i would apply the modifier and... err say i wanted to smooth something it would create a big whole in the mesh... not a biggy but it was always frustrating to have to go fix something that should have been ready a few steps ago.. these days i usually 'test pull' vertices in spots that i might have missed...

lol i use cinema 4D. and i was made a guy. as i was adding clothing to him. i used the symmetry function to make it symmetrical. well there is a cloth function that will collide and make it fit like clothing. well it doesn't work while its a symmetry object. so i made it editable and added the cloth tag and collider tags. and had it fit to the object. only find out that the i didn't make sure the seam was closed down the center of the object and got to watch as the cloak thing i made slide in half and fell off. it was rather hilarious at the time.

Bone rigging a face, setting position and look-at-constraints up, wondering why the hell there were 200 lines all around the mesh. I'd forgotten to uncheck 'viewline length absolute'

Josh you started using TrueSpace, or it's just for animating ?

I've always used truespace. Before that gamespace. Only program I've used since 3ds Max in the college days.

betcha figured it out...but it prob had to do with verts being assigned to the wrong group. In blender i like to maually select verts for each group. Not too hard if your mesh is clean... This is even more important if you export to dx too... all verts need to be assigned to a bone group. If not you get weird results. Some of the other methods are so good at this... at least from this point of view...
