      Greetings;
      I'm trying to figure out the best CD4 (ver R21) tool to cleanly modify an existing polygon mesh.
      In my example, I'm trying to modify a character to look pregnant, like pushing a sphere from the inside. Since it will be used for a morph, the polygon indexes must stay the same. I tried using the brush tools but I get a "lumpy" mess. If I could start with a simple sphere, I could smooth it into shape.

      Bruce.

        Hi Bruce,

        Please have a look here:

        Besides that, the typical modeling way would be to use a soft selection in Point Mode. Then pull and scale the points in the direction you like to have.

        The Softselection:
