the hand-
I am trying to really exaggerate the fingers by making the nail area’s larger than the should be —to give them more of a cartoon-y look

adldesigner question-

hey Ad' you stated

"The seam in the middle normally get´s solved at th end of modelling.
When you combine the two halves, check for normals direction on both -flip the offending one if needed-, and finally Merge Vertices on the whole object with a 0,0001 tolerance.

If the middle edge isn´t that pronounced, then this should take care of it, if it still doesn´t suit you then you´ll have to tweak manually those middle vertices.

Hope this helps,"

Can I do this with subD objects? I cant seem to figure out how to do it! I have tried using poly-proxy mode as well as the normal mode. do you have a set work-flow process I could borrow? user added image

Also... how do I deal with UV's after flipping and merging? I am really confused...

thanks man, you rock!

p.s. that animated gif of your flower modeling project was really cool. You know your stuff man!!

maybe convert the half of the head back to polys using level 0 verts. go down where the join is to be and snap all the verts to the y axis - then mirror geometry and merge any verts that need merging - then you can convert back to subds if required.

cheers

cb8rwh-

I just tried what you suggested and it worked perfectly!

convert->subD to Poly-> flip+merge-> convert to subd again.

also- it fixed what ever UV problems I was having with the sub-d mesh. and came out smoother than a babys bottom!

thanks again!
H.

You should REALLY compete under the "Normal" category, you got the modelling skills, that's for sure. user added image

Looking nice btw, good job.

But can you do anything about the seem in the middle of the model?

GreyFox... thanks-

apparently the seem will go away at the end of the modeling process, after I merge the halves. right now they are instances of each other. This way I only have to model half and sit back and watch as the other half updates itself.

How do I change the post to Normal? and get rid of the silly icon I chose?

Ah, it's still in halves, ok then user added image

You can change your avatar in your options, in your Control Panel.
And I think you can edit your first post to change the title.
