DeleD Community Edition

[Mr.Fletcher]

For creating more complex objects like I would do it in Milkshape, the polyline routine is rather limited.
Example:

I could do the same shape with DeleD, using Polyline:

But, as Jeroen said, I cannot decide myself where and how the triangles are located, which makes further modeling very difficult. And, I have no chance to bring in those vertices in the middle (the selected ones in the first picture).

Ah, thanks Fletcher! That's exactly what I was trying to say. One picture says more than a 1000 words, I guess.

I must be out to lunch, or my explanations are not good enough. Using Fletchers images as the perfect example.

In MS you laid down your vertices, then you go over them(1,2,3,1,2,3 etc...) and create your triangles. This is the correct method to do this and it works. In Deled instead of drawing 3 vertices for each triangle with a polyline, you outlined the whole shape, and then you get different results. These are correct results for the wrong method.

In MS you draw 3 points

However using the MS method you need only create a 4th vert after your first 3 to create a new tri as this new tri and others that follow share verts with previouse tri's ... much faster then making individual tri's and merging.

wow, I didn't mean to stirr up a firestorm. I just saw something in another modeler that I liked and thought it would make a great asset in deled. It's been an interesting read tho. Personally, it doesn't matter to me at all. I'm not an artist. and a modeler is an artist. I'm learning game programming and needed objects to add to the game to ensure my code works.
I like Deled becouse it's one of the few modelers that i can actually use.

Yes, you extrude several times to make the body of the car, then copy the one side and move it to the other to make a solid peice.
I'm a terrable modeler so can't tell you if it's more effective than just pushing a boxes vertices around.
