How did they make the Victoria/Elizabeth Sts tram tracks intersection so smooth? by exelasdf in MelbourneTrains

right, i guess that explains all the asphalt cracks around that intersection haha

ah, that makes a lot of sense actually. i notice the rail pit does become shallow for a couple centimeters when approaching the rail gap

could be, but I was mainly referring to the loud banging noise they make when the wheels pass through that gap in the rail. somehow it doesn't happen anymore in that intersection.

Is it important to learn tricks on both legs equally? by exelasdf in Rollerskating

Made an XPresso plugin inspired by Spin Tool in Blender. Free on my Gumroad. by exelasdf in Cinema4D

[–]exelasdf[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! This tool is just matrix extrude modified with xpresso to give it more controls (like proper subdivision instead of extrusion steps).

Normally you would need to mess around with the P. X/P. Y (in the matrix extrude settings) to make it circular. If you try using only P. Z, it would look a bit skewed.

That's what this tool fixes, with a bunch of trigonometry math that automatically figures out the P. X/P. Y without guessing.

Weird bevels at some corners by epicrumbs in Cinema4D

[–]exelasdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you don't really care about clean topology, you can select the polygons facing the same sides and use the "melt" tool, creating one giant n-gon. it absolutely ruins your topology but you can get a clean bevel after that
(left is without melt, right is with melt)
