So I was wondering how do you cut specific areas of a polygon BUT keep the rest of the polygons attached (not make a huge hole where you deleted the other polygons)
In short: If u wanted to cut of a rhino’s legs but still keep it’s complete body shape - like an amputated rhino - how would you do it? I tried smoothing, flattening… regular brushes arent just working. Please help, thank you.
Following with rhino’s legs… I would mask the area around it and use flaten or smooth on the low subd level.
Oh, and the move brush ofcourse.
Tried ~that but I end up with this teeny tiny almost impossible to see leg thats squished agaisnt the other polygons :S
It’s where move brush comes for. Well, I recorded how I did this.
Move/Smooth/Flatten combination. Hope this will help.

Hey Rhino’s have feelings too, you know?!
Nicely done 
What was that blueish tint on the tip of the leg, that looked like a mask?
Rhino didn’t like that leg 
That bule part is just a poly group. Different groups have different colour in the wireframe view.
