volrathxp Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Ok question.... I am trying to build a bathtub (yes a bathtub) out of patch meshes. I am having a little trouble with it. I created two endcaps facing each other and i capped them. the deleted the top cap and left the bottom one. trouble is, how do i get the rounded edges to cap? i can't get it to do this. thanks in help for advance!!! volrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Is this a built-in bath tub, or an old-timey one that stands by itself? I'll tell you how to make it if I know what you're looking for, because I really don't understand what you're asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volrathxp Posted May 26, 2002 Author Share Posted May 26, 2002 what you no like the party map? i ended up making a really gay looking bathtub. i'll prolly go back and look at it again later and see what i can do. there's still a lot of work to be done in this map and seeing as how i just decided to add a flooded basement, there's even more! volrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volrathxp Posted May 26, 2002 Author Share Posted May 26, 2002 i actually ****ed up badly and scrapped the patch mesh one i was building. right now it's a boxy bathtub, but i'm gonna go back in and try and make a patch mesh one. volrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 If it's a built-in one, just build the outside walls w/ brushes, and leave a space in the middle. Put a simple patch mesh in there, flush w/ the top of the surrounding brushes, so that it all looks like one big brush. Then, just select the middle vertex, and pull it down till you get a nice curved shape. Or, put two endcaps end to end to get a circle, then flatten it out a bit to get a rectangular brush w/ rounded edges. Then, just curve the bottom row inward to get that nice curved bath-tub shape. If you're really having trouble, I might make one for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 heh... I didn't think you'd let me do it for you. That's good. Not just because it shows that you don't take the easy way out, but also because I'm really lazy, and don't need more projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniKorn Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Don't overdo the use of patches. From time to time it might be better to use models instead of patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 I dunno... my most recent duel map is 80% patches (endcaps, bevels, and simple meshes - around 50 of them) and r_speeds are never above 8000 at the most complex point of the map... They apparently don't hinder the engine too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
