hi there,
got these few questions i'v been wondering about but never found a decent tutorial ;)

1. is there a way for max to weld overlapping vertices auto. ? (for example when you use bolean, then you get alot of those..) (i never use bolean, i'm useing it just to get the idea ;) )
i also get them when i extrude an "edge" in a few verteces, now i check every vertex manually, but i guess this can be done auto. ?

2. how does one make pipe turns ? i'm guessing shape tools, a circle + path, but i never really found the exact way to do so ? :/ (and is there an easy way to animate tubes between 2 ofjects, hydrolics etc..) (or is it the same as 3. ?)

3. a nice "new" animation rigging tutorial that's up to date to today's standards (how HL² models will be animated) (my guess is CS 4.2 rigging?) (but i need a tutorial :p)

i have alot more questions probbly, but these are the most important once that come to mind :)

hope someone can help me out just a tiny bit, thanks!
 
well, for #1...

a) try and avoice using boolenas in LPM.....it makes evryhting messy.
b) select all your vertices you think need to be wleed...set the distance to .02, and hit the weld button.
