Help with 3dsmax6

[Jugo]

Another one of these help threads, anyway. I need to know how to weld the vertexes to each other, i mean i made one side of the model copied it and mirrored, now i dont know how to weld it

 

[Mr. Phonso]

im not sure if this works on version 6 of 3dmax but it works on version 5 for me.

okay so heres what you do

1. line up the 2 vertices over eachother
2. select both verticies
3. scroll down on the side menue untill you find weld, click it
4. repeat all steps for each vertex

oh and can you please post a pic of your model

or you can alway ctrl+w, i think i like target welding alot better though, right click on the viewport and click target weld then click the first vertex, then click the other one where you want the first one to be welded to, i only use normal weld when i import models and all the vertices are screwy and needed to be welded

hey im still kinda a noob at 3d max, and that target weld is really a nice way to weld things, thx toast

unless youve just mirrored your object and want to weld them, in which case target welding sucks, just select ALL the verticies you want welded in one go, and click weld. your your mesh turns into a crumpled heap, it means the weld itteration is too high. it can be changed using the weld sub-options.

i can feel myself wanting to rid the forum of these topics by writing a tutorial >_<

[Mr. Phonso]

if you ever get around to writting a tuturial almighty gir i would like to see how to create a plane reference step by step, i would really appreciate that :]

also its funny how we see more new 3d max users now (like me)

also keep in mind that before welding, you need to attach the two objects first, under the edit geometry parameter (assuming your using edit poly to model) theres a button called attach, press that then press on the mirrored model and they should be attached to one group, make sure before attaching you have the 2 models alligned together, or it will be a ***** to weld up, also keep in mind that the mirrored object is a copy not instance, for some reason it wont let you attach if the mirrored copy was an instance
