I have some trouble when I convert my model from poly to



To mesh I got this result. not very cool

I have 50 windows like this in my model

I have see some model in gmax whit out edge relying the windows,

How to made windows whit out edge ?

Is this possible ?

Does somebody know how to resolve this ?

There are several issues here.

Being a minimalist modeller myself, my first question would be - do you actually NEED to cut all those holes?  Could you get by with creative texturing of the holes instead?

For that many portholes, I would suggest using shape merge instead.  That way, you "project" a shadow of the holes onto the hull.  (caveat:  I can see some slight deformation of the hole as the shape is projected along the curve of the hull, but if it's minimal, it may "pass inspection")

Finally, if you absolutely have to do the boolean, I prefere to the the boolean operation on an e-poly (editable poly) rather than an e-mesh...  I feel that the operation on an e-poly is "cleaner".

The problem you're seeing, however, may be due to the additional points/vertices created during the boolean cut.  You should inspect the cuts and weld carefully extra vertices.  Alternatively, as the poster above suggests, you may have to rework some of the edge triangulation (do it in e-poly mode) to "clean up" the visual.  This is one of those instances where "no good deed goes unpunished".

Travis - you're sounding like an FSDS luddite!  a modeller with a touch of masochism!

I like you!
