    Subbed immediately. I like your clear style. I was hoping to uncover why all my objects keep coming in so small. I don't want them one inch big! I'm sure there was some way to alter all that that in preferences. Now I will look at your other videos.

    • @DIGITALMEAT
      @DIGITALMEAT  Před rokem

      That's great to hear! In regards to your issue, I'm guessing your not talking about opening .c4d files, but importing an .fbx or .obj?

      @@DIGITALMEAT Not really. When I begin a new scene, if I bring in, say, a sphere, and it’s set to millimetres, it’s size is about 10! Even the slightest increase in size (.01) or doing anything is enormous! I can’t think what I’ve done. This happens in all splines, and objects. Something in Preferences?

    Is there a way to make these cuts but have them be selectable splines? Say you're making a cutaway for a product demonstration. You won't be cutting from a simple cube.
    So is there a way so that the cut area can be hot selected for further manipulation?

    • @BEEFDOCTOR
      @BEEFDOCTOR Před 2 lety

      Yes, select the polygons of the cut area, you can probably do this with the "fill select"

    Doesn't this technique mess with the object's topology ? (i mean getting Ngones) I'm asking , because i m new to C4D ( was working on 3ds max) @DIGITAL MEAT

    • @DIGITALMEAT
      @DIGITALMEAT  Před 2 lety

      It depends on your use case, but yes it does create N-gons, and you can make cuts to terminate edges and points if you wish.

    Too bad you didn't have "Show nGons" turned on so we could see the horrible non-quad geometry this process creates!

    • @DIGITALMEAT
      @DIGITALMEAT  Před 2 lety

      Of course! You can obviously do clean up afterwards, or make your cuts on a more divided surface and shift / weld points after. I didn't really want to get into that as this video is a "Quick Tip"
