There are many ways to deal with this issue, but one way that may not be too obvious is to simply temporarily disable the effects of some modifiers in the 3D View.This works really well for modifiers that add geometry or objects to the scene, such as:http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blendernewbies/~3/_D9q5J6DfrA/disabling-modifiers-to-increase.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kernon Dillon)3<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=_D9q5J6DfrA:OE5Mtg_Fh5o:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=_D9q5J6DfrA:OE5Mtg_Fh5o:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=_D9q5J6DfrA:OE5Mtg_Fh5o:cTv1dNCI_Tc"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?d=cTv1dNCI_Tc" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=_D9q5J6DfrA:OE5Mtg_Fh5o:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?i=_D9q5J6DfrA:OE5Mtg_Fh5o:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blendernewbies/~4/_D9q5J6DfrA" height="1" width="1"/>http://blendernewbies.blogspot.com/2009/03/disabling-modifiers-to-increase.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31786777.post-4094105207343696255Mon, 02 Mar 2009 04:49:00 +00002009-05-21T06:51:16.934-04:00Level: BeginnerTexturingUV MappingQuick TipBy default, Blender will display uv-mapped textures on only one side of a face. To get them to be visible on both sides, do the following:Here we have a Plane object with an image texture mapped onto it.Here is the back side of the Plane with no texture visible.To make the texture visible on the back side, Tab into Edit mode and select the face.

It's really a very simple issue but, it does cause some confusion for beginning modelers. Let's take a look at some of the issues.First, let's make sure we understand the terms.A triangle, of course, is a polygon that consists of three sides. In 3D modeling, you also have to consider that those three sides (called http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blendernewbies/~3/JQd58dPQRyk/3d-mesh-topology-tip-quads-vs-triangles.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kernon Dillon)6<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=JQd58dPQRyk:PWilUbeVP_o:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=JQd58dPQRyk:PWilUbeVP_o:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=JQd58dPQRyk:PWilUbeVP_o:cTv1dNCI_Tc"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?d=cTv1dNCI_Tc" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=JQd58dPQRyk:PWilUbeVP_o:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?i=JQd58dPQRyk:PWilUbeVP_o:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blendernewbies/~4/JQd58dPQRyk" height="1" width="1"/>http://blendernewbies.blogspot.com/2008/11/3d-mesh-topology-tip-quads-vs-triangles.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31786777.post-5495067237670749910Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:42:00 +00002009-05-21T08:01:19.322-04:00Level: Beginner3D ModelingTime-Saving TipsHere's a familiar scenario:You're developing a 3D scene that includes several duplicated objects. At some point, you decide that you want/need to tweak some aspect of the duplicated objects and you want them all to be the same. The problem is that you created them as normal duplicates, instead of linked duplicates, because you thought you were done with editing the original object.What do you do?http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blendernewbies/~3/QBk2x_upIAI/how-to-convert-duplicated-objects-into.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Kernon Dillon)5<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=QBk2x_upIAI:rRiKTYKgSx4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=QBk2x_upIAI:rRiKTYKgSx4:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=QBk2x_upIAI:rRiKTYKgSx4:cTv1dNCI_Tc"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?d=cTv1dNCI_Tc" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?a=QBk2x_upIAI:rRiKTYKgSx4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/blendernewbies?i=QBk2x_upIAI:rRiKTYKgSx4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blendernewbies/~4/QBk2x_upIAI" height="1" width="1"/>http://blendernewbies.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-convert-duplicated-objects-into.html
