Im having a problem with proboolean subtraction. I had a primitive box,did some subtractions,I need the same box the same scale just taller

so I made it an editable mesh, extruded the top poly and attempted to once against subtract from the extruded part. But its not subtracting

I tried collapsing the stack, but that didnt help

Hey Rory

Yo. glad your on

got any ideas?

I can post a screen shot if that might help

but i dont know how to do that

You'd so fail in the exam Wagner is applying to his students

Hmmm collapsing the stack shoud've worked... post a screen shot to see if I can help

this shows where i clicked one cylinder and it did not subtract. they are supposed to be equidistant

From what I can see, everything looks fine, it should work... try the "IT Crowd Approach": save your file, close max and open again

dang didnt think of that

also Wanger, do you know much about baking normals? im just jumping into it.

oops, mixed up your 'n' and 'g'

Baking normals? I know the theory of baking textures, but never got it to work properly

I might have got ahead of myself. I don't really know how to bake textures, its probably similar.

Normals Maps are used to give the appearance of a high poly model on a low poly object.

I guess somewhat similar to what a bump map does for bumps

cg.tutsplus.com/tutorial...

good website

tons of free tutorials on advanced modeling

Oh, I have read about it once, but never tried. I have one normal map ready to use, though... they're WAY BETTER than bump maps

You know what... I think I found a software that creates normal bump maps from jpgs once...

I'm watching the video now... very cool

rory said you can hear the guys stomach growling during the video

I thought it was MY stomach the first time, because I watched the video before lunch and I was hungry.

By the second time, I realized the sound came from the video

ewww

awesome. Downloaded it.
