this isn’t much of a tutorial.. if it was a tutorial he shud be speaking with hes own voice and explain every singel step.. wich wud make a video of about 10-15 minutes, that’s a real tutorial… but besides from that i thought this was really cool, just a sham ethat beginners cant learn so much from it =/

thats cool

It does – thank you very much for your reply!

@AururaB maybe the right description is “component”. by clicking some activated paths with the right mousebutton u find the option to create a component (or hit G on your keyboard.

components can be used more often. u drag and drop them from your libary into your szcene. thats all.

i copied and flipped the components (arms, legs, etc). so i can make changes (e.g. on one arm) and they will appear on both sides of the model.

hope that helps.

Quick question: When you say “create elements”, what exactly do you mean? I assumed that the parts you shaped were the elements..

I love this technique! Thank you!

you can flip objects along the red, blue and green line. check out the right-mouse-menu for this mirror-function.

How do you invert the objects? :(

About andrefritz’s comment, what is the best program for games? =)
