<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Original_Reference|oDDity|3473}}<br /> <br /> Here&#039;s a quick video on on the using bandsaw to retain the shape of objects in subpatch mode and how to add detail in such a way that it remains sharp and smooth in subpatches.<br /> <br /> THe main point is to use quads at all times, and don&#039;t use level editor type tools like boolean subtraction, since it just leaves a huge mess in subpatch objects. You have to model the detail in, there are no short cuts.<br /> <br /> As for joining things up in subpatches, since you&#039;re makign this stuff for normal maps, you really dont&#039; need to make things a continuous mesh. model the parts separately.<br /> Heh, I managed to squeeze a 800x600 5 minute video down to 2.8 mb.<br /> <br /> http://208.49.149.118/TheDarkMod/Files/subpatch_tut.rar<br /> <br /> [[Category:Editing]]<br /> [[Category:Tutorial]]</div>
