|Now as with the chest, there was a lot of selecting boards, separating them, soloing, and filling in missing edges
If you select all the ‘vertical’ edge loops (in edge select mode), you can press ‘V’ to get all the planks separated at once.
Make sure you have the F2 addon enabled. Now select one plank (with ‘L’, for instance) and the press ‘F’. Now both side of the plank are filled. No need for soloing out the planks. Saves a lot of time!
|On my first pass I didn’t select vertices in wireframe mode, so it only plumped out the front. Then I accidentally only scaled along the x axis. Eventually it all came together, though. Learning!
That has happened to me soo often;)
You can select an edge loop easily with ALT click. And in cases like this, proportional editing is a life saver!
