Is there a face me component tutorial thread?
-
Hello Sketchie Folks,
Im wondering if there is a thread here on how to make face me components. I used to download jpeg trees and trace each so I can make like a realistic or watercolored tree as a regular component for my personal library....
The problem is, it wouldnt act as a face me component. Its just there like a model (which it is) but i still have to rotate it whenever I chose a view to export it.
If there is a thread or tutorial, is everyone ok to pitch in components and make a library inside SCF? I know some would have to share hard earned talent but woulndt this do more good than harm?
If someone would teach or guide someone else how to do it, maybe we got a whole lot of quality components right for everyone to enjoy eh?
Id like to know everyones comments and reaction on this if it is possible. But bottomline if privacy, protection and property rights is someones concern, I do respect it in everyway.
Thanks again.

Well, FaceMe seemed to be dark art to me until I watched a couple of videos on Youtube on how to do them:

Remus has the same idea of creating a SCF component library... I hope the database masters find a way.

Thank you everyone.
That'll start me up having 2d collections. I almost lost hope on that.
