Adapting to 3ds Max from SketchUp Help
-
So, I love SketchUp because of its ease of use, however, I know that it isn't the best at creating meshes, as the screenshot shows. After trying so many different tutorials, guides, and forums to fix this, I haven't found a solution.
On a side note: I'm making models to use with Cryengine, and they need to be as efficient as possible.
So, I've finally decided to switch to 3ds Max for my game creation purposes, everything else I still plan on using Sketchup for though. However, I need some with simple things like separating objects into sections, creating holes for windows or door in the mesh, and just general ease of use. (Or, if you can help me fix my polygon problem otherwise, fantastic!)
So here are the 3D Programs, I currently use:
- Google Sketchup 8
- Meshlab 64-bit
- CryEngine 3.5.4
- MakeHuman
- Daz 3D Studio
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
