bevel plugin

[jason1025]

Hi Folks

 

where can I find the bevel plugin?

[HomeSlice]

There was once a bevel plugin called Zevel by Marcel Bricman, but that was a long time ago. I don't even know if it works with the current version.

How do you install this plugin? Is there a tute or instructions on how to use it anywhere

?

[jason1025]

the zevel is a .hxt file

 

there is a HXT folder inside the main folder that AM lives in. Throw the .hxt file in there.

I have it in the HXT folder. Now, how do I access it in A:M, and how so I make it work?

By the Way, Thank You very Much, Jason

Read the instructions in the link below.

 

3 important tips.

 

select a spline using the , key aka the

right click without loosing the selection

select the zevel plugin from the plugins

set your distance and hit ok

 

1. immediately after using the plugin select your entire model this will get rid of the distortion.

2. I dont think the plugin works on splines with hooks.

3. If you have trouble try decreasing the distance value.

 

Fuchur has a great video tutorial about modeling that includes how to do this.

Have a look at my tank-tutorial on my website.

It is a videotutorial in several parts. I am using it a few times there...
