Sergio Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hi all! I am recreating some furniture elements, peaces are quite square, but ther are little bit rounded on the edges. I used box modeling approach, my idea was to round edges using Smooth or meshsmooth modifier. A got a wierd image with "too smooth" edges. There is wire frame of the "starting" image: I presume, that I did not start model correctly, so final image can not be good. Can anybody help please . Regards Sergio!

Sergio Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Thax Strat on very fast answer! I was looking for chamfer modifier and I am bit confused. Is chamfer modify on mesh level or in spline level? If it is on the spline level, that will make modeling quite lenghty... Regards Sergio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 either, but predominantly on mesh edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Looks like I found modifier. As far as I understand chamfer modifier doesn't give radius, just slushes the edge?, like on my test: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 but now mesh smooth just the edges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Ramsay Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 You dont have to use a modifier... convert your object to an editable poly, select the edges you want to round, use the chamfer tool twice or three times on the selected edges to round them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 sorry m8, thats exactly what i meant. there is no chamfer modifier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Thanx Strat!!!, Thanx Craig!!! I finally figured up. It is quite tricky selecting edges, takes some time, unless there is a tool to select outside edges Because selections, seems much easyer Craigs idea of selecting and applying few times(while using the same selection). Guys thank you very much, that was very good! Regards Sergio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
