Quote from OLya instead of slice u connect so you get a straight linealtho i was looking at the screen part it still applies, just a tidbit of knowledge for a fledgeling modeler
i still dont see what you mean, because everything on that model is a straight line, and everything is connected... ?
Quote from OLyou shouldnt use the slice tool for that monitor, instead connect the edges. (select both and connect tool in edit poly)much faster and more exact
or even inset for that matter
what in the world are you talking about?
i used the slice tool at the very beginning of the model (sliced the bottom thing in two, and extruded it up to make the back supporting stuff..)
here i took use in the stuff i just learned, creating something of my own (offcourse this object har probably been created countless of times before me, perhaps also in the exact same dimensions 
)

EDIT:
i actually tried making a stupid mug just now, the problem was the handle.. i just couldnt figure out how to weld two edges properly 
Quote from OLmake a face and shift drag edgesthats about it

And here is a video tutorial I made how to import a custom model in Hammer (which doesn't work the normal way strangely enough, probably a bug)
The first link didnt work, only file in the smd/ folder was this one:

crapfaggot (not you)
then i have to wait for my VISA (which i ordered a few days ago, so i could get hl2 in time... guess i was too late )
Quote from TequilaTrue!
But there is no good tutorials for us mappers, its like hard to learn how to model... I think some super wise mapcorian guy should make like 2-3 tutorials, made especially for ol' mappers such as us, written so we understand it... with some basic tips and hints.. "how to make a chair" "how to make a pipe" etc...
and we could put it into a new section called guides, where posts that also has guide-like stuff in them goes...
I want a guide forum :D:D (every decent design communties got one)
were you allowed to use that piano-scientist?
i think you just have to get close to the piano... (btw, dont forget the song which he is playing)
