Modelling in Blender

[+Nyghtfall]

Hey there,

for some time I'm trying to learn Blender to finally create own models one day. While some things are quite easy to achieve, others give me headache... So are there others around, that play around with Blender and try to be creative? ;) Maybe we can share our knowledge and help each other out with tips, hints and so on.

A first problem, that I'm fiddling with atm and that I don't really get:

Wing was smoothed and Autosmooth is set to 60°. After cutting the Slats out, the leading edge of the slat is still smoothed, while the wings leading edge isn't anymore. What can I do, to get rid of this?

maybe there is more than one vertex on both ends of that edge? 

not Blending myself but trying to help

I would like to learn Blender but above all time is missing ! 

Two years ago I bought a book (in french) about Blender...

Any Blender tutorials out there?

in 3ds max sometimes the mesh when cut \ detached loses the smooth values....try resmooth the wing...using same values also check that when you cut it ,sometimes it leaves vertices that werent original...match up vertices and if any stray ones...weld them to the one nearest which is in proper place

There is this.

Blender 3D: Noob to Pro on WikiBooks.

Thanks guys! I clean up everything regularly to remove leftover or double vertices - a very good hint in general!

The solution was simple - I moved the vertex on the red stripe a tiny bit aft and it was smoothed again and then I did the same with the vertex on slat to line everything up again.
