Hey guys
Well im a plank as i was working this mesh i never added any polygroups its 6 mill points at the moment,what is the best way to add polygroups to this mesh also as you can see i added an alpha to the top part is there a way to add a alpha and make the edges softer thanks in advance
regards
Mask areas you want to be groups and Create from Masked in the Polygroup palette (or Ctrl + W). Or maybe reconstruct subdivision, possibly a couple times. Planning the steps/stages before slinging polys can be helpful
