Sorry for the long download....I will make this split up into 3-4 images on my sml site once it is finished.

Will be updating the image so check back often.

I didn't really know what I was making at first but I was just showing you how I map in polyworks.
Of course I took a little more time to be extra neat, but hopefully this will help
you. This image should cover everything you need to know about polygon PLACEMENT (i think).

Once words are added it should be a little easier for you to understand.

Achieves: Uniform Stretching, Shading, Smoothing, coloring

Could you maybe explain how to go from one step to another? I find that in certain steps (specifically the splitting the four triangles into smaller ones) that I can't quite follow in PolyWorks.

my trial for psp ran out, however if somone would like to put in the text i could post the steps here.


In polyworks to split a polygon, select the center vertice and press control+l. Hope that helps. Hopefully I can finish this soon.
