creating round holes easily

[SnaFuBAR]

Just something I saw illustrated elsewhere, so I thought I'd reiterate it for you guys.

The cylinder method was better!

[SnaFuBAR]

If you have an area already modeled and cannot start with a cylinder, this works well.

[Donut]

thanks again snaf. your little tips always help

with that in mind i really should get back into modeling

Same thing in Maya, except grab the new verts in step 3 there and scale them out. You won't get a PERFECT circle, but if it's going in a game... then usually perfect circles are boring anyhow :P

[SnaFuBAR]

holes don't necessarily always have to be round, but for things like holes machined into metal this works well

[Kalub]

What happened to the boolean method

[SnaFuBAR]

yeah that would create errors just an fyi

[ICEE]

Well I learned something

BLACK MAGIC!
