UNGLAUBLICHUSA Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have tried deleting splines & re-adding them. This has solved a couple of the problem spots where I cannot make a 5 point patch. The others are stubborn...could I have some duplicate control points or something - if so how would I find them? Also, on four 5 point patches there are squiggly line artifacts even with porcelain. again - none of my attempts to fix have worked. Any suggestions?

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 6, 2011 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 6, 2011 I see one pair of patches that have dark corners but I dont' see the squiggly lines. Where are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNGLAUBLICHUSA Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I grouped them and made them yellow calling them Problem 2....maybe squiggly lines isn't the best choice but there are dark wave like lines curving away from the holes.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 6, 2011 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 6, 2011 5 point patches like to be fat and flat. Long, skinny ones with one tiny edge won't behave well. I added "Added Spline" to make the 5 pointers closer in proportion to a "regular pentagon" like on the 5-pointer button.

UNGLAUBLICHUSA Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 I needed to add more holes - so I re did the whole thing being VERY CAREFUL not to have 2 control points in the same location, Etc. Got the Outer layer perfect - great. Copied it - great - resized and flipped normal to make cylinder liner - closed up seams around holes - great. then normals started flipping and now I have 2 outer 5 pointers that just wont close up....damn. Is there anything different in Ver 1`5 from Ver 13 about 5 pointers? I never had so many headaches with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 11, 2011 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'd have to see it. I thought the "outer" was the original that you had all closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
