Although appreciated, making basic shapes isn't what this topic is about. :)

Nice job Deepthought. The front fender seems like it should be turned around or extended at bit more in the back.
It certainly looks old and beat up.

Well...this is an interesting topic. I believe I said that in my previous post.
We are all correct in one way or another.

Sphere divisions in Anim8or I just realized are limited to 32x16, so overall dimensions
read perfect, but the surface won't be smooth.

Geodesic divisions are limited to only 6, so no luck here.

The Dodecahedron  primitive leaves an uneven surface as well, as far as I tell.

Subdivision on any of these leaves a non spherical surface.

The sphere below is visually perfectly smooth and absolutely spherical by measurements.
Unfortunately it was made using 256 x 256 divisions ( in another program) and weighs in at a
hefty 3.5 megs.


Is there a way to make a visually smooth sphere with perfect dimensions in Anim8or ?

cooldude234 I think you mean arctic caps. lol

ronaldefarmer It definitely shows up after subdivision. Even my imported sphere had a slight variation but not
as bad as the default sphere. The sphere itself is perfect though. Creating one with 48 x 24 divisions still shows perfect
and the more divisions the more accurate the subdivision. Think we just have to live with it.  :)

Yup. It's height is greater for me too. Imported one from  V97 and same. Imported one
from a different program and it was perfect all sides. So the ruler is accurate at least.

I'm at about a 30% chance of getting the "unable to connect screen'. It's getting hard
to just navigate the forum once you finally log in.

It's OK it doesn't bother me though.

Glad it helped. I forgot that you can also select the edges you want to cut and use the Edit > Loop Cut.
I almost always use the faces method because it's more visual and forget about that one.

Either way the results are the same. :)

Hmmm. Maybe there is a script or different method but, I would do it as I explained.
You have to fill in the open ends after detaching.

Oh, Okay. Just select all the 'faces' of the part you want to separate and press Edit>Detach faces.
I hope this what you mean. :)

Hey Blick, the cut tool is used to arbitrarily cut through a face, adding a new edge and vertices.
You can then select any unwanted edges or faces and delete those as you normally would.
It's not meant to actually remove anything as a tool.

The heart with a bite out of it has happened to me a few times lol.
I've been catching up on some outside painting myself the past few days.
I hate it when work gets in the way of modelling.
