creating a flat shape with curves and angled edges
1 Attachment(s)
Hi, I'm trying to create a flat shape, I simply want to trace the outline of one i've created in illustrator (and placed on a plane in Maya to use as the template), it has angled edges aswell as curved .
Will I have to make two seperate objects, one with the curves and one with the angled edges or can can I draw/model it as one shape? Thanks for any help people. * in the pic the shape I want to draw is the filled box surrounding the text. |
anyone..?
...just worried i'm not makin any sense if not just say and i'll try to explain it another way. Cheers, sorry for the hassle. |
draw it all as one shape, use three or more cvs close together at the point where you want a hard edge. That should work.

Thanx for the feedback guys..
I'm using the create polygon tool I can draw all the angled/flat edges fine, it's just when I come to a section with a corner i want to curve ( i.e the top right piece ) how do I change the tool so it will draw that curve and continue on from it to finish the rest of the shape? e.g straight line > angled line > curved line - straight line... etc |
by adjusting the number of points in the polygon. When you smooth a poly will try to round it's self off. If you have lots of cuts and verts then it will hold it's edge
