      Is there a walk through some place or a video tutorial, I'd really like to learn this and another thing, say I have a shape created in meta modeling and convert it to regular mesh will this process work with it?

      A video tut?
      Oliver Villar did a tutorial based on this. It explains only the basics though. There is much more potential on this method.

        I must admit i did not really go for tutorials when i first started learning blender.

        Even if this modelling time lapse isn't what you want to model in Blender i think it says more about modelling, approaches to modelling and retopology (after the z brush bit) than quite a few of the tutorials i have subsequently watched.

        If in doubt just start modelling a hand in mid air and end up with the right number of edges to join to the arm! Using the sculpt brushes to shape the low poly mesh e.t.c.

        it was definitely, mind blowing.

        Regards

              we should still keep in mind how rapidly Cycles renderer is developing, right?

                      Looks like a nice evolution. Not sure Oli that it'll necessarily make Blender easier to learn. From what I could tell it doesn't fundamentally change anything about the UI, just makes it a bit easier to navigate.

                                    Happy 20th Birthday to Blender.

                                    I had version 1.6 at one point but wasn't until 2.4 that I started to get my head around it.

                                          Many ways to skin a cat Pilou.
                                          I would try a different and simpler way for the job.

                                          I wonder, what we could do for a cornice on the ceiling.
                                          Extrude following a path somehow?
                                          It can be done.
                                          But not quite creative.
                                          What about using the inset tool of blender?

                                          What I'm trying to say. Different apps, different workarounds.
