Talk:Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Aligning Vertices with a Guide Image

This was split from Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro/Modeling_a_Fox_from_Guide_Images

make a prymaid
with versions 2.46 of Blender and later, you just have to select merge at center after the merge vertices step to create a pyramid, the last 3 steps aren't needed.

you can do this easier by making the top vertices closer to each other (SKEY) and then use Remove Double (in editing buttons/Mesh tools tab)

Noob needs context.
As a total Noob just reading the whole book from front to back, I was completely lost when I reached this tutorial. I now think that the "guide image" approach is an advanced technique that uses the "background image" feature in a novel way. (This is really neat, by the way.) However, this is the very first place I found in the whole book that mentions background images.

I feel that the concept of background images and their normal use needed to be explained before we tell users how to use them in an unorthodox manner, and I have done so. However, I'm a Noob, so my change needs to be reviewed. -Arch dude (talk) 08:57, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
