Read this if you use Milkshape 3D!

Ok, Laheen found this out in Ms3d.
Ever had problems with selecting a specific line of vertexen which you couldnt select in the back front or any other viewpoint.
have you ever dreamed of beeing able to select vertexen in a the 3d viewport??!!
well now you can, click your 3D viewport hold ALT and the select vertexes with your mouse.
the only problem is that you cant see the line you are selecting vertexes with.
Hope this solves a lot of problems.

lol, thx for the info dude, but i already new that

its good info for people who are starting modeling

o yea, u dont need 1.7.0 for it lol, i got 1.6.4 and i can do it

yeh ok, and if you want a better render go to www.sio2soft.btinternet.co.uk/, you have to buy it though, it comes with a 21 day trial, but it supports anti anilising which is good , it also has vertex shaders, cartoon shaders etc. have fun

I found this out 30 mins after I first started milkshape.
Since that was years ago, go figure how old this is.

ppl seriously did not know this?

 

[Sadner]

Nope, well i didnt

 

[D.C. Darkling]

another hint, might not be know alot to.
if you select vertexes who are ALREADY snapped you can massively weld them.

so if it says "reweld your vertexes" 90% is already snapped, so you can weld 90% without doing them one by one.

the 90% is fictional and might differ

that one is pretty useless, maybe this should be stickified

The 3-D Window select thing is even aprt of the ms3d manual.....

 

[D.C. Darkling]

I do not think its useless.
I used this once for my vegeta. Saved me hours.

 

[solidus]

cool, i didnt know about that, allthough i dont ever remember reading the manual... I generally try to keep the model tidy enough so that i can select what i want or select what i cant get to by other methods, but this is nice to know, im sure it will come in very handy. Cheers m8.

 

[Sadner]

C, it really helps people.!
Stickify!!
