hi
just want to know how to make triangles on Gmax. I'm making Toby and I want to make the triangle bits on his front.

Go to Shapes - Line. Go to Top view and draw a triangle shape to your liking, then go into the modify tab with the triangle selected, press the "Extrude" button, then right click in the selection window (where 'Extrude' came up) and hit "Collapse All".

If it's not the correct size, you can either scale it or alter the vertexes.

You really want to make Toby? Only we have him made just the textures to go.

well hes is really good for begginers like me. SuperD, which top screen is it?

Ive drawn my triangle but it comes flat and I dont know how to do the 3d bit.

Got a screen shot?

You could also, as it is now a mesh, go to the modify tab and collapse the "Editable Mesh" field. Click on "Polygon" and then click on the triangle. Using the directional arrows on screen will render it in 3D.

This is a screen shot of what I have been doing. I am just trying it out for the first time so nothing is in scale.

Right use side view than draw a triangle using line. Make sure you join the two ends of the line up then extrude it you should the get a solid triangle from one side to the other you can adjust the depth of the extrude to suit

thanks Andy, your the best.
