hi great tutorial
but i am having trouble when you create the lines across the mask it doesnt connect to the vertices that were made in the previous step

Well the helmet looks great but like many before me; I just cant get the surface function to work properly. My helmet just disapears and flipping formals dosent help either. I do not have any polygons exceeding four sides. As far as I can tell all of the vercities are welded together. Thanks

i have a bit of a problem with the tutorial. im using max 8, and in step 9, i create the vertex's with the connect box checked and i use refine. i hit create line then the undo button. after that i try to create the lines and weld the vertex's together, but nothing is working. what do you mean by magnet toggle? the magnets at the top of the screen won't let me put the vertex's on each other because they are not all on lines. i've tried using attach, highlighting them both and pushing weld, everything. what else can i do?

2007-05-18T17:17:00.000-07:00

What I would do is just select all of the vertices and then select weld. Then I would make sure that any shape created by the new lines, doesn't exceed 4 sides. I should make a surface tutorial pretty soon, for any one needing help

2007-05-18T16:36:00.000-07:00

I followed your tutorial (awesome stuff, by the way) but I've gotten stuck on the Surface Modifier part - I've checked and unchecked Flip Normals to see a difference but half of the helmet disappears, namely the nose and the tip. I think that I haven't welded them properly or something - the vertexes are white and yellow, a mixture of both. Any help?

I edited the tutorial after step 15 to incorporate the Bend modifier, but if you have anymore questions just ask.

2007-04-14T09:56:00.000-07:00

Thanks for telling me, I now know what happened ad I'm fixing it right now. What you do is use the Bend Modifier and bend the mask across the X axis, until your satisfied that its round.

Hy!

I'm having trouble with step 15.
When i moved the chamferred edges away from the mask, i don't get the 3rd picture. I only have the flat mask, not the rounded mask. Am i missed a step?
Sorry for my bad english :)

You have to use the magnet toggle to place the vertexes at the same exact location. And then select the two vertexes (drag over them) and go to Edit Poly and select Weld.

Hi, Im new to 3dsmax and im having problems trying to make lines between the vertexes. When i choose Create Line and click on a vertex, it only creates a new line and it doesnt connect to the vertex. What am i doing wrong?

Check or Uncheck the box that says Flip Normals. Also In order to create the surface, you can not have polygons with over 4 sides. So when you create the lines, look at how the picture is, there is not a single poly over 4 sides. Experiment and you'll get it.

Thanks for viewing my tutorial, I'll try to answer the best way I know how. By outline I mean take the line tool and make the left hand side of the mask. As for the pink line, its only a reference line and the color is not important.

Hi i'm looking forward doing a mod helmet (power ranger) and it need to be place over a composite video shot. The tracking system I will be using is After Effects 6.5 app. I having problems understand the first & second steps.

Dealing w/the reference lines:

[instruction]
Create another line and outline the left hand side of the mask?

[question]lost already, i do understand drawing another line but
the pic doesn't explain what you mean by "outline the left hand side of the mask"

If also doesn't explain how you made a pink line. Did you select a color pick thru the name and color modify section should the pink line have a name assign to it?

Back to the mask word if it the term mask is use shouldn't it be a small floating layer box showning?

Please explain farther of what you meant by masking the left hand side. If have something to do with building that side of helmet please correct the meaning for us novice. Thank for you for your valuable time. Livewire-
