How does he rotate the snout at 5:33?

posted to: Basic Blockout

At 5:33 he rotates the snout as he finishes extruding it with the snake hook brush.  Whenever I try that, it looks like this:

    Kent doesn't rotate the snout around that timestamp,  he just rotates the view.

    I guess I should have put the timestamp a few seconds earlier.  You can see in my image that the initial chunk I extruded is facing the same way it used to, even though I used snake hook.  In the video, the tip of the extrusion actually rotates to follow the brush.

    Doesn't that happen automatically?

  • William Miller(williamatics) replied

    Not for me.

    williamatics Honestly it looks like your brush stroke is doing that "follow / leave behind" behavior...I can see the flow pattern in the topology.

  • William Miller(williamatics) replied

    But the tip is pointing forward, not upward.

  • Kent Trammell replied

    It appears that you ended your stroke pointing down. So you went left, up, then down.

    If you're definitely ending the stroke in an upward direction but the result is pointing down, that's an issue for sure. A funky one.

    Maybe you messed up some (Brush or other) settings. Try File > Defaults > Load Factory Settings.

    Ahh ok, it looks like you must have turned the Rake setting off for the Snakehook Brush at some point williamatics:
