Hi, I have to model and animate a screw. Sounds simple, but you haven't seen the screw's head. It's a sphere cout in many different way, two wholes with threads inside, complex fluting, … All this is not impossible to do. I used slice a lot and it worked, but edges are too hard. The real problem is: All edges have to be slightly rounded and manually adding faces to make the edge rounded is just too much work. So I need a way to create the rounded edges, but at the same time the shape of the whole object is very complex. Anyone any ideas? -David
