Hi !
After watching Hard Surface Techniques DVD from Mike Jensen, I’ve tried to use the clip curve brush to get the same results as seen on this DVD. Unfortunately I often get theese anoying edges. Is there a way to get rid of them ?
I someone could help.
Regards
It’s all in the technique. If you clip (flatten) a section of geometry that overhangs or overlaps another, it will flatten into a little edge like youre getting there.
So the trick is to make sure the portion to be flattened does not overlap your inteded edge before clipping. Sometimes you can do with with a smooth brush to soften the geomtry beforehand, sometimes you provide a “preliminary” clip at a bit of an angle first to remove the ovelap, then you perform your intended flattening clip.
If all else fails, make use of the new curve slice tool with dynamesh to entirely remove the inconvenient geometry first.
There is no one solution. It just requires artistry.
I agree with Spyndel; you can also clip some of the offending edges by clipping them at an angle that is perpendicular to the overlap.
I have also had success remeshing the subtool; many times the offending edge, being removed in the remesh operation, will not return when you use Project ALL to match the remesh to the original.
