Figure 12-25:
The straps
I wasn't quite happy with the connection between the neck
armor and the back armor, so I selected the following edges
and used the Split feature in the Edit Edges rollout of Editable
Poly.
Figure 12-26: The
edges to split
Once you've split these edges, you can immediately see the
difference if you go back to the top of your stack. It's like mak-
ing another plate. The Shell modifier is a beautiful thing if you
work below it in your stack. It takes all of these simple little
low-detail polygons and turns them into nice high-poly sheets
of metal with thickness.
