[Tutorial > Modeling] coin edge ribs??

[3eighty]

Anybody have a way to put ridges on the edge of a coin...?I know you can select an edge and then right click to "divide" but that doesn't show the lines that you could extrude..

Thank you

i would have thought the best way to do it would be to specify the number of edges on the coin as the number of ridges. You could then draw in one ridge and use the rotational array tool (holding ctrl when you rotate, then entering x20, or however many times you want the rotation to repeat.) to get riges all the way round the circle. thne just push/pull the whole thing into a coin.

hope that makes sense,

Why not just use an image, scale it to look like ridges? Use one of the sketchy edges. This way your poly count is low which is a good thing if you are going to copy it a bunch of times.
