I need help with my boat

MikeYork · 23-01-2005, 09:15 AM

I have built this boat and it is my first attempt ever at building a boat so Im a little sketchy. I am also new to 3d. But I need to know if anyone can help me with a problem I have. I started out with to many segments in my box when I made my boat and in the front of the boat where it comes to a point all my vertices are crossing all over the place its just a mess I tried cleaning it up but it still shows some errors when I render it here is what it looks like

If anyone can give me any pointers or ideas on how to fix the front of my boat please post it below or e-mail me at bayork1@comcast.net also any critque&comments are welcome

Can you post a wireframe of the trouble area so I can get a better idea what you mean?

How do u do that?? I know it sounds like a dumb question it probably is. But I dont know how to get a screen shot of that. Should I take a pic of my screen with my camera and show u it that way?

I have been working on trying to fix this all night lastnight and this morning but I think I may have it figured out I have been sorting out and un crossing vertices all morning thanx for the input though. Im gonna try some more tweaking on it if I can't get it I will post again that I still cant fix it :-)

YEAH BUDDIE :-) I fixed it! yeah all on my own. Man that took some fixing. I had vertices crossing all over the place I just deleted a bunch starting cutting new clean segments ect and now it looks very good but u tell me can u still see the bunched up mesh at the front of the boat or does it look more natural now?
