hello modellers, this is a mini tut about joining 2 polys one with a lot of segs and one with very few. this is useful for join areas with a lot of details with another with few details like a hand and a fore arm for example. this is a lightwave tut but i think it works wwith any poly modeller. lets get started: 1- create a poly with i seg and another with 12.

2- now using the bevel tool(or smooth shift if u're doing it with 2 or more polys)subdivide the poly.

Neat trick. Thanks for posting it; I'll have to see if I can't adapt the technique to Carrara. --Terri
