thanks man but how do i specifially hide the front faces?

#4

See Working With Polygroups.

#5

is there a better way for me then to mask > polygroup > delete inside faces?

#6

What is your thickness setting when doing the extract? :wink:

#7

mostly 0.01 sometimes lower :smiley:

#8

You don’t have to mask anything. Whenever you do an Extract, it automatically assigns separate polygroups to the front, back and edge.

#9

Does a garment not have thickness and both inner and outer faces? :slight_smile:

#10

im doing the cloth/armor for a game so the less faces the better :slight_smile:

#11

So, are you exporting 1 mesh or subtools? Thinking outside the box is sometimes necessary :wink:

#12

i suppose i will just export the subtool after extraction?

i start with the body imported then masking a belt shape for example which i wanna extract, but it has those stupid backfaces :slight_smile:

#13

Did you not glean anything from post #'s 2, 4 and 8?

#14

I barely understand english so please excuse me not understanding it right away :slight_smile:

i didnt realised till yet that polygroups are created right away Thank you everybody :slight_smile:

That is quite understandable. I thought your English was good. :+1:

I will try to explain it a little better in the following 2 images. Hope it helps.
