Re: Soccer Balls - revisited 2004-02-18 - By ccoles_avengers

Hi MDC,
Thanks for the info on the soccer ball and the AVI instruction file.
Two questions:
1) What is the "orient normals" feature supposed to do in this
example? I am still learning AMAPI and am not familiar with all of
the features and couldn't quite figure out what was being achieved on
the AVI file with this feature. I was able to use this tool on my
pentagons, but didn't see a noticeable difference on the screen.
2) I am having a little problem with extruding. It seems as though I
have extruded the polygons correctly because I see a gaps where the
seams are supposed to be (which seems to match your AVI file).
However, when I try to spherize the model, the gaps/seams disappear,
leaving only slight impressions where the seams should be.
Did you first extrude outward or inward before resizing inwards to
complete the faces?
Cheers.
