need some help

[Brakelight]

sorry for this question, I know it's a dumb question but i really want to know it ops:

I just started with 3ds max and i know some of the tools.... I'm working now 2 years with zmodeler and im pretty good at it but i want more.... i reach a limit of 10.000 poly's and i don't like that. I made a plane in 3ds max and i know how to move the poly's, but now comes the problem... i need te make poly's.... I've got a plane of 4 by 4 poly's but i want to make more of them. And i don't want an extra row but just make poly's where i want them to be by clicking with the mouse. I know its a really dumb question but can please someone help me with this :roll:

Thx, Brakelight

Personnaly I convert the object to editable poly, then I turn poly level on and use the command create (edit geometry) to create a poly by clicking on 4 points ( one a each corner :lol: ) but I don't think it's a good solution.

i think you are looking for the cut tool.

its under edit poly properties

hi guys, i really apreciate your help, but it hasn't worked yet ops: Maybe i can't even explain my question. I have attached an image with a plane, the plane is EM, and i want to create more blue vertice, or polys. Wich tool do i need?? i tried Create polygons, but i only can make triangles and if i click outside a poly it doesn't do anything. I've someone cuold answer this it would be great

Sorry for my bumd question and bad english

PS, i attache also some image from the spyker im working on in zmod.

Could you post some wires of that Spyker?

[Brakelight]

yeah sure, here they are.... just let me know what ya think
It are 14500 faces... there is also my point, after i reached the 10.000 polys zmod is going slow... thats why i want to learn to model in 3ds

But that isn't an answer

Well, no awnser, I'm a LW user, no Max for me :mrgreen:
Just wanted to know things.. Your model looks good btw, though not really accurate.... Nice to see someone other than me tried to make this beauty

Why don't you use the standard max tutorials, I'm sure that they'll be very helpful to you. If you don't have them maybe I can get them for you

[Brakelight]

that would be great, i don't have them do you have a link?? or something usefull
