Hi Karl, I'l take a look at it. I'm not terribly optimistic about making it though. I've got a long list of rubies to make/fix already. But I'll check it out, thanks for the heads up! Chris

Do hoscht du awwer ganz rescht!

Thanks guys. Actually, with little information on the subject, I decided in the end to import from Zbrush. having the hands sculpted for the product ended up being much more realistic in the end (I think anyway). And, though still curious... it is not pressing as it was. So, again... thank you.

Cool! I believe there should be a way to import the materials from .3ds file into SU. Seems like there was a thread around here about it. I don't often work that route, so I'm not sure. Anyone else know? Chris

Hi Erin, could you upload the model your working and maybe with a qwuick explanation of how its supposed to work? We could take a look at it and see if we can figure out here its going wrong. Chris

ok i didn't know that we could have hidden edges, but for tiny bits, it is strange because I had green markers for placing my line that means that I am at an end point... Good advices for me that mean that I need to be rigorous. So I m going to check all tiny bits

Thanks for that tutorial on 3D Warehouse Gaieus. I have several models of stairs that revolve around a central wood column and I could never get that quite right - your tutorial solved the problem. Now I want to experiment with the method on the front bullnose edge of a stair tread which can get kind of messy when textured.

If you have anything uploaded,on the top left (right above the model window) there's a "Share" button where you can set share functions even after the upload. This model must apparently have been "unshared" ever since.

quite useful. Thanks!

Thanks Gaieus!!! Hmm I don't think I explained my problem correctly. I will think about how to re-word and try again, in the mean time I will go thru the posts. Cheers! Sean

Yes a great videos site about SU ! Some are on Youtube also and very funny [image: index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1622.0;attach=3097;image] here the funny video [flash=480,385:jwo3gr53]http://www.youtube.com/v/PO6vMQIusQI&hl=fr&fs=1[/flash:jwo3gr53]

I think I might have to accept that I haven't got the experience yet. Could I ask anyone to have a go? Thanks for your help Chris

@jean lemire said: I am just curious about one thing: why does SU takes 15 seconds to load at first time and 5 seconds on subsequent loads ? This is on a PC with Windows XP-Pro. There is probably a cache memory involved but I am curious. Yes, the first time it reads it from the disk, which is really slow. Then the second time it just reads from the memory.

With SU 6, there were some problems with certain images inserted in Mac not showing up on PC (this was due some RGB channel and EXIF info issue) but even those didn't crash the app just the images didn't show (I think it's been fixed in SU 7). Other than that, I haven't had experiences with such behaviour either (although you never know).

You have a pipes ruby here

but if u want a free render engine try kerkythea,, it a good render

HiPhil, Do you have any plugins installed? I ma quick search and I don't have this ruby (Olmage.rb) on my HD. Also, there's no kml exporter in my exporters folder of SU 7 so I could imagine that this is a plugin that would require a kml exporter. Now if I'm not mistaken, there used to be (???) kml export from older versions of SU (maybe v.5?) so this could even be an old plugin that would like to use that function (but I'm not sure about that since it was some three years ago). I also made quick Google search for "Olmage.rb" but it didn't return any useful.

I think this is the same thing: https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=JHS_PowerBar_2015
