this is what i mean and it seems unbalanced. how do i fix that? Everytime i move a vertex it only moves one part of it

edit: why won't the pic come out?

hmm, I didnt finish that tutorial myself... but I dont really know what your talking about sorry. I personally just used faces or vertices when needed to distort spheres, which by the way, he uses a damn lot user added image

Keep going with the tutorial, finished dog looks funny and cool.

cheers, bobalie

sorry but i still dont get ya


yeh and also i rekon once u fully do this tutorial with good results u could model any animal

o i think i get ya now O.o

are u usin nurbs or polys

this tutorial is a nurbs


coz when u move a single poly it juss moves that one vert

and nurbs moves the surrounding area

if that not it it could be

that ur refering that u want both sides to do the same

when u grab both verticies DONT MOVE THEM coz they will juss move em to one side

like lets say u grab both and then move them right it will move the right side out further and the left on into the face is u want them to fatten out evenly use the scale instead

if that not it explain more lol user added image
