    Better Modeling with Meta/Pep/P.N – Tutorial 1: Introduction

    Use the extrude from the menu - not from the command panel. The extrude shifts the faces in the direction of the normals and creates faces from the old position to the new, basically it thickens it but you loose the original face positions. Ie a square extruded creates a cube with a missing...

    Pepakura tutorial

    I think the texture problem doesn't come down to just software, skill or attitude, great textures can't be made without a full understanding of the subject matter. I couldn't draw 3D pencil sketches very well until i started using 3D cad, i have learnt to visualize in 3D. The same goes for...

    Pepakura tutorial

    Yes, you will get weird aliasing errors, suppose you do vertical wood slats for the door and you make them all the same size, the output from pepakura will usually make the wood slats to slightly different sizes because it 'HAS' to re-render the bitmap. It's really only noticable on small bitmap...

    Anyone any good with 3DS?

    Have you tied selecting the mesh and pressing 'M' for the materials editor? If your mesh is grey it means there isn't a color applied to it. On some file conversions you might find the emissive, ambiant, specular and diffuse settings have not been converted properly. They either make the...

    Upcoming cardmodel of the SATURN V / Apollo 11 launching equipment

    Maybe a personalised cd version? so you couldn't sell copies. Batch pdf creation using watermarks maybe. Thing about selling kits is that parts can go missing, which isn't too much of a problem, but what if you make a mistake and totally mess a part up. On a model with that many parts your...
