Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Hey man, looking good.

If you've not deleted the history you can go into the attribute editor and find the poly smooth tab and unsmooth it.

P.S Stick your undo to infinate, in the preferences!

the text will become indented intime on the xbox, soon as i get round to texturing, a few more things to add on the front then onto getting the main shape perfected and onto the finer detail.

edges are way to sharp for a 360
they are very rounded

does your "xbox 360" text come out of the door, or is it pushed into it?

that's definitely not coming out. also, i think you're using the wrong font. you can find sites that comment on which font to use, etc. if you want to create text with a 'famous' font.

Accept no substitutions.
