ok for those of you who use blender could you help me out? Alright currently I'm trying to make a head model and i'm using this tutorial and i need help on section 5. It says "In edit mode (TAB), delete half of the face (a). Select all the vertice (A-KEY), copy them (SHIFT+D) and mirror them (S-KEY, X-KEY). Then move the copied half-face (b). Now select all the vertice except those to join and press the Hide button. Select the vertice four by four with the B-KEY, and make face (F-KEY). Tip: to make things easier, you can turn on the Draw Faces button and rotate the 3D view while you make faces. Be sure to close all faces! (c1 and c2)". So i deleted half of the face then it says to select all vertices, then copy them using SHIFT+D. So I did that and now heres where i'm stuck. Right after that it says "mirror them (S-KEY, X-KEY)." does it mean press both at the same time? I tried that, it just widens them. But in the picture below that it shows them coming together. i can't figure out what to do!! Help me please! -Matt ------------------ [This message has been edited by mattiethomas (edited January 25, 2005).] |

Hello mattiethomas, I'm not to sure what it means about the 'S' and 'X' key, but if you only want to mirror then hit the 'M' key. ------------------ |

Yeah, i remember that tut... when i got to that part i got confused, so i just said "what the hell..." and just made it my way (basically hitting all the keys to figure out what they do, and then do what i wanted :P) And it WORKED!!! So, if you ever get stuck, bang all the keys, and see what happens  Conan ------------------ |

Select the vertice four by four with the B-KEY, and make face (F-KEY). Tip: to make things easier, you can turn on the Draw Faces button and rotate the 3D view while you make faces. Be sure to close all faces! (c1 and c2) whats it mean when it says "ect all the vertice except those to join and press the Hide button"d if you can could you tell me what the rest means? lect the vertice four by four with the B-KEY, and make face (F-KEY).
