  1. Hello Greg, Yes, I am using the latest beta version. Also, the steps I took was simply to import a specific .obj file into the Splines tab. However, I've been unable to reproduce the problem and it appears that turning on Beta options fixed it. It was probably a fluke. I forgot to attach the file in the last post. Here it is. Thank you for your reply. segment-spline2.OBJ
  2. This is odd. I was reading another post and decided to enable Beta Tools to test them out, and it fixed the curves problem.
  3. Hello, I imported an obj into the splines profile and the curves tool stopped working for me. It now behaves as though its a brush and it will not create curve points. It was a simple cylindrical obj that I was attempting to use to create a segmented tail. I tried reinstalling 3D Coat but the functionality hasn't returned. I've attached the .obj I used if that helps. Also, I use a Mac. Thanks for any assistance.
  4. Thank you, kay_Eva. I just used a base colour (sampled from a photo) and painted it pretty roughly on one layer. I don't really know how to do much beyond that at the moment, but I'll get there.

    Self WIP

    Thanks. I think I could do better now that I've stumbled upon the notion of using a base mesh, but glad you like it. Maybe I'll do a new one and stick it in my sketchbook thread.
  6. A rough colouring of McKellen.
  7. Thanks, digman. I'm trying to do a lot of them over a short period of time, not really polishing them too much. Just a disclaimer: I start by importing a basic human mesh, so they're not entirely from scratch. Here's Ian McKellen with caricature proportions.
  8. Here's a WIP of myself.
  9. Great video, I learned quite a bit. Also, you have the best narration voice of any tutorial I've ever watched. Are you a professional voice over?
  10. Thanks, I understand that, but I'd like to be able to make hide/show to a hotkey. Is that possible? I tried mapping it but it does not seem to work.
  11. Is there any way to set up shortcut for this? I can't seem to do it in a conventional way. I would love to be able to set the '/' key for this, like in Artrage (toggles tracing image off/on).
  12. Hello, This is not a big deal, but would it be possible to make it so that you can load separate front and back image plane photos? Right now the front view shares the back view background image.
  13. I sent a Blender Mesh I was working on through AUTOPO, without any adjustments, and it produced a nearly perfect result. Big thanks for pointing me in that direction. I almost feel like I know what I'm doing.
  14. They're selected. Here's the image again with an indicator (red arrow) of where the selection starts. http://cl.ly/2k161x0U3G250m3b3O43/Image_2011.09.13_12_07_42_PM.png Here's the before-posing image, with the objects selected. http://cl.ly/13110w0Q0r2z403b2v0V/Image_2011.09.13_12_09_24_PM.png
  15. Thank you for reporting it. Here's a visual of what is happening, just as an example. http://cl.ly/3S1s3Z1I20270u442M1f/Image_2011.09.13_11_38_03_AM.png
  16. Thank you for the response, sir. I think I did not quite make my dilemma clear, however. I am aware of the through-all-volumes feature, but when I try to pose something and there are separate objects (like an arm with a bracer/glove), the objects fly off each other. They move in the same direction, but they become grossly misaligned, as if they are following different points on the same arc. Perhaps I am not using the tool correctly.
  17. Scenario: A character is in a T position. There is a layer for his body, and layers for his gloves/bracers. Is it possible to pose the arms so that the gloves and bracers stay aligned?
  18. I have it, but I haven't tried to learn how to use it properly. I guess it's time to start.
  19. Thank you, Daniel, it looks great. Regarding your suggestion that I thicken it in a 3D modeller, I don't have one outside of 3DC. If I could, I would work entirely in voxels, since I'm only doing it for art. Here's another example of a wonky auto retop. It gets split down the middle and filled with garbage polygons, making it unusable. Otherwise it would be a fine job for an auto retop. Argh. http://cl.ly/341L2A3T3A0R1U0i3W2P/Image_2011.09.12_3_43_24_PM.png
  20. I have points/faces selected and the dots do turn white when I hover over them, but they do not disappear when I hit delete.
