Anyone know why this happened using the nonpatch method?

3ds Max 8:


BrawlBox:

Has anyone found a solution to this yet?! It seems that the body verts don't cooperate properly. ;-; I continued editing and here's what happened.

converted and put on mdl0: http://ioj.com/v/55tn5
3ds: http://ioj.com/v/k0tsm

Please, how do I fix this?! By the way, I worked on vertexing this polygon for 2 days!

Same problem I've been having and fixed last night. I'm making a video tutorial later today, just wait.

If i accedntally pressed the scale ais button, how would i unscale it?

[ChaosRune]

You can't.

[StarWaffle]

=[

so my model is ruined? ;-;

[StarWaffle]

its not true! there must be a way to reverse it ;-;

[ChaosRune]

I'm sorry to say this, but only if you can re-write the script or make a new one.

[StarWaffle]

dosnt the script just tell it how much to scale by? i looked through it and i could only find the number 2.54 =[  so i scaled it by 25.4% it was close but it didnt work D:

[ChaosRune]

It probably means the whole model is scaled by 254% when you use it.

[Yoshiboshi3]

Just morph it anyway...when I accidentally scale, it doesn't mess anything up for me.

On another note, I finished the tutorial, it's compressing now and then I'll upload it.

Okay, I was following your tutorial and Yoshiboshi's pretty fine until I got to the point after you make the patch once you are happy with your changes I get totally lost. Also, for some reason, when I imported the model it messes up when I got to Edit Poly so I can't use the Relax tool that you were using. Please help me out here.

Anyways, I'm working on Pimple (from Battletoads) over Donkey Kong, and here is what I have so far:


And here's the 3ds file up to before I "Patch Model" if anyone wants to tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Patching is obsolite, use the morphing meathod :)

Okay, I got the problem with not being able to export it fixed thanks to Das Donkey Box 2. I'm still having a big problem that when I switch to edit polygon, most of his face disappears. I need to use that so I can use the relax tool that Mariokart64n was using in his Mewtwo videos. It would really help me smooth out things like Donkey Kong's ears and the crease it makes in his head by pushing his pointy hair down.

My question is, why did you switch to edit polygon?

And sorry guys, my mic is screwed up and none of the audio in my tutorial recorded (Ironic isn't it) so it will probably wait until tomorrow, unless someone wants me to just subtitle it?
