Ah I get it thanks

Gaieus

So how is it going? Let's see some interesting results (I always make boring vaults only although now there is also a sugar cane I made this way)

dominion

hohum not working, done it all but when i click restore uv it does nothing at all

Gaieus

Have you got the original (not-yet-bent) shape?

dominion

yea got it fine looks exactly as in your tut

Gaieus

You mean it looks like the one in the tut before you make the bend and the UV restore or you mean that you could do it finally?

dominion

i can do the bend its just the uv restore that does not work

If you open the Ruby Console - does it give you an error?

If not, any chance you can do a video capture`?

Gaieus

And any chance you can share the file, too? Beforeit's bent...

This is an old issue:

I read long time ago about the way to change the "avatar" (male figure in the SU default template).

I barley remember that you can use your own pic for this.

Q. After I build an avatar of myself, how can I make it face the camera all the time?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe Gaieus knows about this,since he's been working on clay bricks, and tiles for long.

There was an hexagonal clay floor tile in SU 6 very pretty and very realistic.

After I installed SU7 it went missing and instead a white hexagonal tile now appears.

I tried editing it to give it the natural, warm and lovely color and texture it use ti have,but it does not come out so:

when you select a reddish, clayey color it comes out with cherry-red spots and yellowish tint.

Is there a way to recover that lovely hexagonal clay tile?

Thanks fellows,

massimo

Maybe this one? Put it in your SU's materials-->tile folder.

Hi Reinaldo,

See below video for example.

thanks for the Tutorial...

...i am trying it out.....but have a question or two...

When you say Subdivide, do you mean Divide, as in Edge Divide...??....or is there something else i should be aware of..??
Do you Group the column at some point along the way...??....if so at what step..??

Thanks in advance,

Gareth

Gaieus

No, by subdividing I only meant that I copied the base rectangle along the (then still straight) "column". Otherwise Fredoscale cannot "bend" it. You make as many segments as you wish to eventually have in your arch - that's all.

And there is no need to group - Fredoscale will (at least temporarily?) group the whole thing. But you can group it of course (especially when working in an environment with other geometry).

Odlanier

Thanks Gaieus,

I almost didn't recognize you with this new avatar.

Cheers!

Gaieus

My eyes are the same!

Gareth

ahaaaaa.....thanks Gaieus......i get it now...!!

Cool tutorial, it also works for waving flags. I also use FredoScale for bending it in several directions and then apply the UV toolkit and it restores the texture correctly! Thank you very much!
