CrinklyArse Holy Fucking Shit Joined: 18 Feb 2005 Posts: 2162	Posted: 08-17-2005 06:09 AM                  A friend of mine is into level editing, but because he's busy, i'm doing him a favour by asking for him, just incase you were wondering why i was posting a level editing question . Anyway, here is the message, 'How can i make a cube out of a Patch Mesh without using like 6 different parts for 1 cube? Example: The aim is to make it look like cellshading without using 6 different "simple patch mesh" parts. Using 6 "simple patch mesh" parts is allot of work and when i want to make another shape i need even more "simple patch mesh" parts. But there has to be a way to make this a lot easier. This is what i thought of: Expanding the original shape then convert it to Patch Mesh (but how do i then add the texture?)' Hope this makes sense to you guys, and thanks a lot from me and him _________________
