Another My first experience with 3dsm

[Spellbinder]

Its not done for long or anything. Also im not really showing it to get critism or help or anything at this stage. Im just so happy i actually have come this far so i had to show it off Also i know it is way to many tris and faces but im following a tutorial and im just trying to get use to all the different tools at this stage. First some number i guess:

Mesh Totals:

Verts: 4214

Faces: 8376

O btw if it doesnt show it is gonna end up as a office chair.

[Bic-B@ll]

i'd sit on it

[Skjalg]

This looks very nice spelly, keep it up

I followed the same tutorial for that office chair when I first started out with 3D modeling, it wins.

Chair is looking good so far.

Yeah? Then maybe you can help me out here. I am stuck at the moment. At number 76) it says and i quote "To fix this, go back to Editable Poly root and create some aditional edges to sustain MeshSmooth interations" endquote. I cant find anywhere to create some aditional edges?? I must have missed something. I searched the internets and only thing i found was a post a guy did and he never got any reply on it Here's the link if you want to get into it more: http://www.3dtotal.com/team/tutorials/hugechair/chair3_02.asp

Ok so i got stuck at that point and haven't yet figured out wth he is talking about. But MutatedJellyFish come up with a plan, skip that step and go on to next step. So i thought i would do that and fired up 3dsm again. But then i was like damn it i want to do this and started again, and failed, so i thought what if i do this instead, and ended up to do it way different then the tutorial. And here is the result:

lookin' comfy.

[Zacker]

Quite nice for a first model.

[Skiant]

Very nice mesh, very clean, which is the most difficult thing to obtain when you're starting modelling. Good job.

[mjens]

very nice!

my first 3D model (in 3dstudio4) was a car created with boxes

[KIIIA]

Did that tut years ago too spellbinder! It`s pretty usefull to get to know several general methods that aren`t that common but very usefull sometimes (Like Loft or Arrays).....

[Spellbinder]

So how did you solve the number 76)? First off the picture of the seat in the tutorial has this wireframe with lots of squares, mine doesn't. Second only thing i could find about adding additional edges was in user reference and it said i could do it with cut, so thats what i tried. But it become something that was way to hard to shape. The way i did it made the shape almost at once. If i only had made it a bit thicker it would have looked exactly the same aswell.
