Quark rounded surfaces?

#1 You can achieve what you want in quark. theres an arch tool you can use. itll place an object in the scene which looks like a bridge with a curved bottom. once youve placed the arch in the scene, analyze the object properties and set invert to true. this will make the object have a curved top with a straight bottom. you can also set the radius and number of divisions you want the curve to have. you could use two of these together to make a circular column.

#2 Yes, thank you. But I meant if it is posible to smooth out polygons as you do in any modeller. Looks like everything is made of straight planes. I can get a good looking smooth cilinder with a 8 sides section, just by setting it to smooth. Is there something similar in Quark? How can I build a smooth sphere for a map?

#3 Not really. theres big differences between regular modeling programs and brush-based editors. the only thing you can do which may be somewhat useful, is using the cut tool to divide faces. you can then move vertices and rotate faces, but beware, this can quickly lead to chaos because once the faces are cut, the vertices dont stay together like in modeling programs.

but to answer your question i dont think theres anything like that in quark. i dont know about cshop though.

#4 Dosnt quark use bezer serfices?

#5 I don't think so.

#6 Yes, but bezier surfaces are not supported in map2dif.

EDIT: Changed "included" to "supported".

#7 Im about 100% sure it does.
