ok...i got a project. i want to model the energy sword of the Covenant in the Xbox game Halo. i included a (very) rough pic of the basic shape i want. i got C2.1 and am using the vertex room. my problem is no matter what i try, i cant seem to get the inner curve to show up when i smooth the model. there's always this angled corner on the right that always shows up even if i try repositioning the vertecies. after i draw the vertices i extrude to .1 and then smooth the model to 4. please help. ive had C2.1 sitting on my HD for quite a while but never realy used it to model anything "serious," and so i know i'm not doing something right. please help. thanks very much for any tips.
