splines will be patched with four new
polygons. Deselect the splines. Figure
14-74 shows the results of this new
patch.
3. Continue patching the edge loop
around the eye.
If, as you select your splines, you happen to
select a few polygons from one of your
patches, don't worry. The Make Spline
Patch tool will ignore
any non-spline objects.
If you get a “Curves Do
Not Cross” error at this
point, there are several
things you should do:
a.
b. Make sure that you've selected your
splines in a clockwise or counterclock-
wise order.
c. Double-check that the points of each
spline are welded together.
If this doesn't resolve the problem, see Tip
#4 above.
The results of patching this area are
shown in Figure 14-75.
Make sure that you
have four splines
selected (press
