Boonie hat

[Sgt.Crocodile 0]

All you modders know this piece below. The Island Thunder Boonie hat.

The number 1 (in red) is the ring of vertices that form thr outter of the brim.

The number 2 (in blue) is the ring of vertices that form the inner of the brim and base for the head piece (cover).

For the idea i have, i need a new ring of vertices between blue and red (in the green area).

Now....HOW DA HELL DO I DO IT? Is it possible?

Please...step by step in a gentle way..... (with pics if possible )

Thanks in advance....

If someone knows how to do it - could you please perhaps consider modelling an Aussie style bush hat - we wear our a bit differently to the Yanks...

Just select the polys and use slice and place your slice plane where you want it to slice. Slice is in the standard edit mesh modifier I believe.

*you may want to move the red vertices down a little first then just move them back up after you slice

You could try convert to editable patch, then select the brim polys and subdivide. But this nearly triples the number of polys for the hat.

Easiest way to me would just be to take the boonie as it is, go into sublevel-edge and use the "cut" tool. Just walk along the edges where you want the new vertices to be and make a cut. Would have to do this both from the top and bottom though.

2 minutes of work using this way.

Does take the polygon count up to around 196 polygons though, from 92 for the original boonie
