Office Hours – Jonathan’s Office – Thursdays 11am (Pacific Time)

[sheila5]

I’m having an issue with my pothead file Jonathan. I wasn’t aware of it until I started the unwrapping of the head, but I got a cluster of vertices that I can’t untangle anymore. I don’t know how to unravel the problem. I’ve uploaded it to drive. The bottoms of the head are hidden so the issue is better visible

perhaps in your open office hours you can show me how to proceed? Hope I’m in time for it

[Jonathan Lampel]

@sheila5 Sure thing! I don’t have office hours tomorrow though, so it would be next week. Or Martin or Omar can check it out for you if you’re hoping to work on it sooner. 

[sheila5]

ah thanks @jlampel, also for reminding me that tomorrow is no office hours

[Omar Domenech]

We can hop into a Discord call if you want Sheila, show it to us there.

[sheila5]

Thanks Omar. I’ve been working at it this morning and I got it sorted out eventually. Just had to be very patient

[Omar Domenech]

Wow if you unmade that mega mess, then I grant you the CG Cookie Poly Re-Structuring and Maintenance Congressional Medal of Honor. Along with the CG Cookie Watching Cookies Bake Patiently Award. On top of that I hereby declare you Leveled up by winning a boss battle and acquiring new powerful skills and items as loot. You’ve been on a roll lately Sheila.

Lol Omar 

ps I’ve deleted the file on drive now. next step is getting the same result as Jonathan does with the head 

[Martin Bergwerf]

I definitely agree with Omar @sheila5 , that is quite an achievement; I saw the mess you made and thought: if Omar can’t help, I’ll have a go, but I’ve made messes like that myself (usually moving Verts around in one area and not realising that there still are other Vertices selected (out of view)) and they can be really hard to repair.

Well done!

[sheila5]

Thanks Martin, Omar tried to help but discord did everything to prevent it. No sound at first  then no image and finally a slideshow with a minute in between the still frames so I missed all the steps 😂

I used the hide method to try to isolate the affected area as much as possible.

Hey everyone, 

This is the last week for Office Hours. 

For the past few months, CG Cookie’s team of instructors has made themselves available to have an open mic to answer questions from our community, and it’s been a lot of fun. So many exciting projects and questions from the community. ❤️

As this experiment ends this week, please join me in a massive thank you to the instructors for making themselves available, sometimes at odd hours, to help elevate those in the community. If they were helpful to you, please let it be known below. 

We’re passionate about helping you make cool stuff with Blender and will continue to innovate and evolve ways we can mentor and help those also looking to wield the power of Blender. 

If you did participate in Office Hours, we’d love to hear from you either below or by answering a few quick questions below. 

Submit your Office Hours feedback – https://form.typeform.com/to/kr1dzrgQ 

Thanks again and happy Blending!
