Patch Mesh

Post by **CrinklyArse** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 2:09 pm

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

Why not just use extended brush primatives with reversed UVs?

why make a cube out of a mesh?

had a go in quark and you can make a cube with two meshes (not one because you have to fold it over itself) - but can't see a reason for doing it when you could use a brush and q3map's celshading stuff.
