You know, Dan is quite the 3DSMax Master, maybe he could give you a few pointers.

Personally, I’ve never tried drawing anything 3D. Never had the programs and if I tried in Photoshop or anything it all would come out wonky…

“wonky”…?

Is that some sorta “british only” words? :P:P:P

hehe… like: “bugger”… :crazy:

First of all, Thanks you guys for clearing alot my question, now i know, where to head first, and i also know if i get stuck i can come and ask Kirupos villagers :D:D:d

Ok Maya peeps…

Why on earth are all my extruded polygon faces all crooked and sh*t??

What do you mean by “crooked”, exactly?

When you use the extrude command, the face shouldn’t change visibly at all. You’ll get a manipulator that looks like all three regular manipulators combined. Then you can pull out the extruded face to the distance you want, then scale it or rotate it.

If you can describe your problem in more detail or even post a screenshot of before and after, I’m sure I can help further.

Here:

I used the polygon tool, made a shape, and extruded it! What could go wrong?

It’s all crooked… and I tried basic scaling of the face, couldn’t make it fit properly…

And it does it EVERYtime I extrude something… :frowning:

Ok, first off, it’s not really good practice to have faces that have more than 4 edges. In fact, I think that’s what’s causing the problem here. I whipped this together, using your image as a template. I started with a simple cube and deformed it by pulling vertexes to form the “toe” (sorry it looks like a mecha foot to me :)). Then extruded and moved vertexes and so on. Notice how no polys have more than 4 sides.

I see yes…

hmm…

well, I followed this from a tut, and that person did it just like me…

Isn’t it odd it does that?

I’ve never seen MAX act like that…

hmm…
