Mind me asking what those are? Because if I ever run into those, I'd like to be able to get it done faster with boolean.

Cool, I've been wondering how to do this correctly :)

E: Nvm, I remember'd you dont model much. :p

I'm positive there's an easier way to do this. However, I can't think of what it is.

a sealed form is just something that has no open edges :p

and by clean mesh i mean something that isn't a clusterfuck of triangles and all close together.

Good tutorial, helped me out, thanks.

I like this method :D. As a point of interest, if you use vertex snaps when you quick slice along the planes edge you shouldn't have to adjust any vertex positions. They should be perfectly in line.

Snaf, you need to make a weekly tutorial release, if not just for the sake of getting the beginners and intermediates to stop asking the same questions, and in the long run to have a nice archive of helpful tips and reminders. Also, more people need to learn to spline model, where the basis is "If you can draw it, you can model it."

^^ amen.

Its these key techniques that help people excel in modelling and help save a ton of time. People sharing different techniques of how they tackle a situation would really help out. I get stuck on modelling alot, I have an idea how I want something to turn out but lack the knowledge of how to pull it off, and make it efficient.

oh the vertexes did make a perfect line, my quickslice was off by maybe a quarter of a degree or less.

I'm actually considering releasing more tutorials. Maybe not on a weekly basis, but maybe more of what's requested or something.
