FIG. 5.91
Cut around the back of the foot, using the new vertices to remove the n-gon.
FIG. 5.92
S p l it the n-gon above the pinkie toe.
To remove the n-gon on the outside of her foot, we have to add an extra edge
loop around the back of the foot. This will give us the extra vertices we need
to remove the n-gon, and add some extra dei nition to her heel.
●
Select the four vertical edges around the back of the foot, and the one
opposite our n-gon ( Figure 5.91a ).
●
Press
Ctrl
X
to cut them (Figure 5.91b).
●
Now, using the
Cut tool
, make a cut across the n-gon behind the pinkie
toe, connecting the two vertices (Figure 5.91c).
Move to the top of the foot next, just above her pinkie toe.
●
As in Figure 5.92, add a cut across the n-gon above the pinkie toe. This will
give us a quad, and a triangle to deal with.
We now have two issues remaining: the triangle above the pinkie, and an
n-gon on the inside of the foot, a side ef ect to our earlier cut around the back
of the foot.
We can eliminate both at the same time.
●
Select the edge ring starting from the inside of the foot, just below our
n-gon ( Figure 5.93a ).
●
Follow this underneath to the outer foot, turning the selection to the edge
to which the triangle is connected (Figure 5.93b).
●
Press
Alt
X
to split the edges.
