Chapter 11, Function, 1119_0000, Untriangulate
Function, Untriangulate Untriangulate is only the half of the description when you want to cover the whole function of this one. It can produce n-gons too, sometimes with complex results or it can eat the whole model. As usual, there is more consideration to be made when we use a function like this. |

Chapter 11, Function, 1124_1126, Disconnect, Explode, Split
Function, Disconnect, Explode, Split Three functions in one means they have something in common. You can change the shape that an object became in a hypernurbs object or just borrow some polygons from an object. Explode - for this tutorial, I’m only showing how to use it for polygons on a third-party object. THis affects the entire object. If you are lucky, there is a way to separate this. |

Chapter 11, Function, 1118_0000, Triangulate
Function, Triangulate Sometimes third-party applications will only accept triangulated objects. This function allows you to deliver it. However, to go from non-triangulated to triangulated objects is not just a step that should be done for fun. What’s behind some of the differences between 3- and 4-sided objects and why is the preview different from the rendering (rotate quads, helps sometimes too—>preferences)? |

Chapter 11, Function, 1117_0000, Subdivide
Function, Subdivide Subdivide does more than increase the polygon count of an object. It can also changing the whole object or just parts of it in a very “Hypernurbs” (sub-dvision serfaces) way. |

Chapter 11, Function, 1115_0000, Melt
Function, Melt This allows you to create a new polygon (N-gon)out of two or more selected Polygons. It works with point, edge or polygon selection. (To jump from point to edge to polygon with out losing the selection, you can use the shift key, but back again with shift produces a bigger selection sometimes. |

Chapter 11, Function, 1114_0000, Collapse
Function, Collapse All selected Points (even the ones included with pure Edge or Polygon selection) will Collapse in the middle point of the selection. That can be useful or produce some trouble. |

Chapter 11, Function, 1113_0000, Move Sequence
Function, Move Sequence The Polygons and Splines are based on point information. Very few points are needed to create Polygons or Splines (see structure). When you use Polygons or Splines in conjunction with other tools or functions, then you can get an undesirable result in the sequence. To change this - and so the result of our operation - you can use the Move Sequence |

Chapter 11, Function, 1111_0000, Align_Normals
Function, Align_Normals Sometimes you will have to deal with Normals facing the wrong direction. This is a typical problem, especially when you are using third-party models. The solution is explained here and in the the next tutorial. An example with a bump map will show what kind of problems can occur. |

Chapter 11, Function, 1110_0000, Reset System
Function, Reset System The function that will reset the axis system. Nothing more. The easiest way to explain this is to watch. The option to use the Model/Object tool is the key to avoid the need of this Function. |

Chapter 11, Function, 1105_0000, Current state to Object
Function, Current state to Object CTSO, is more than the luxury version of the Make Editable tool. When you need to have special situation in a new object, it does not take too much effort. And for Pose Mixer, it is more than a beloved function. |

Function, Make editable Nearly all about the term “editable”, maybe you will try all of these examples and my guess: you will find additional areas where it works as well. Have you tried it with an particle emitter? |

Chapter 11, Function, 1116_0000, Optimize
Function, Optimize Optimize is the tool used to delete double points or points that are too near each other. These circumstances create no new or valuable information but cause an unnecessarily more complex model. You can also use Optimize for polygons when two or more are inhabiting the same location. It can sometimes produce unexpected or unwanted results, so keep an eye on this! |
