[edit] Useful?

If you're new to the Blender, do you find this exercise useful? Please let me know, thank you. --Spiderworm 14:20, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I thought your explanation was clear and concise. --marytee

I found it useful, helps understanding of what's going on with mesh modelling :) --rushton

Very useful piece, made the differences between edge/face/vertex quite clear. --adam

[edit] Important difference in who you want to reach

Okay, I must say that I found this very interesting. I can accept that some people won't get the explenation because there aren't any images with it. You might put a few images as a reference, at then end or the beginning of this document. Only there, I believe it would interfere with this perfectly written text otherwise.

What I also think, is that you ask your question a little bit vague. I am a semi-n00b to rendering, I'm a student in architecture, so I know programs like sketchup etc. And out of personal interest I too, know programs like Cinema4D, VectorWorks & some Bentley systems programs (just basic introductions to them, I have had).

It is boring as hell for those who know it, and rather difficult to understand for those who know nothing about it, they don't have time to put in their heads ;-).

But, I must say, that is written very well, and for me, it was plain old perfect :-D

thank for the tut btw

--I've been rendering for a good few years in 3ds max now, and I'm looking at Blender to teach as a free alternative. I think your explanation is excellent, I'll probably be using it to demonstrate principles to students some time soon. --Will S

++I think that this exercise is useful for remembering how a model is built up it is quite helpful - even if I already knew some of it!

Thanks for the excellent Tutorial.

[edit] Simple and concise

This is a good concise explaination of Mesh Modeling

[edit] Great Tutorial

Very easy to follow.

[edit] Plural of vertex

While the Webster certainly knows vertices as plural of vertex, it also (and firstly) mentions vertexes.

---

The commonly used mathematical term for the plural of vertex is vertices.

--Ummon

[edit] 3 dots 'roughly in the shape of a triangle'

What does this mean? Unless they are colinear, 3 dots define a non-degenerate triangle. Does it mean equilateral triangle?

--Ummon

It is most likely there to make sure no one puts the dots in a straight line.
