Phaser Modelling ..Help..

[AdmiralSherwood]

hiya

i know im probably a pest with requesting, asking for help and all but i av followed cpt. hooker's phaser tutorial and av encountered a problem.

i av achieved the bevel section [Image 1] but when i inset the phaser model i creates extra polys [Image 2] and if i delete or move a poly the phasers ends up wider
[Image 3]

if any1 can help me correct this problem i will appreciate the help

Ctp Hookers Tut is included

Thanks

It looks like you chamfered both ends of the array to make them appear more rounded. Try using the inset modifier before you do that.

I started using this tutorial as well when I tried mine, but it only works on flat surfaces.  I found a different way to accomplish the same feat, but using splines instead.  Seems to work better on angled surfaces.

for the rounded edges is just added an extra vertex at each end then repositioned them like the tutorial told me i touch the chamfer tool at all but thanks for your reply creative inc.

locke im kinda new to this modding and modeling lark as i once knew how to do all this until i started college so i aving to relearn everything. how did u accomplish this for the same feat then, if u dont mind me asking

Of course you can.  You just have to modify the ends.

You could also stop using "netspeak" since most folks around here don't use it . . . ;)
