[Tutorial > Modeling] Hidden Seam Tutorial

[Edson]

great answer to a problem that is not complex but very annoying.

by the way, your signature reminds me of indian chiefs depicted in westerns with names that were descriptive of some of their main traits of personality (like "one who rises with the sun" and the like).

I did this one last night for a friend. Thought I'd post it as another example of this method.

Hi folks.

Good stuff Boofredlay.

If, for any reason, you want to retain the offending internal face that is showing trough the sides, you may hide it instead of deleting it.

Just ideas.

Good tip, Jean, John has also been thinking like you just one post above:

Great Tips! Thanks!

Great tip.

I've been using this method for a while. However, I can never be sure (anticipate) if I'll need those surfaces later if a change to the model is needed. So I create My Hidden Edges and/or My Hidden Surfaces layers and then turn their visibility off and move the geometry to them (I try not to use the "hide" function). At end of modeling, getting rid of the hidden faces is as easy as deleting My Hidden Surfaces layer.
