I would bet that everyone here in this topic has tried to rotate a jpg with the middle mouse button?

Or with basic tools...

Dave taught me everything I know...

Me too! Thanks. I started as much a newb as is possible, and now I'm building models for others

Me too, no wonder with his 4 years ahead

There's a tapering option in JPP (with random function if needed)...

Maybe this plugin can be a start?

It's Spanish and I don't see the images too.

Nice (as always)!
You should add an Dörr image to the Tagesthemen

Nice!

(I think you should add a spot light source to get a more interesting lighting with more contrast in there.)

Or the Skatter plugin ($)...

Maybe the carve function of Fredos VisuHole can be a workaround?

BTW, I passed on your request for a table of contents. They thought it was a good suggestion so maybe we'll see it soon.

Great news!

Great making of video too...

I've tried this example with the plugin Flowify, it's a great alternative if the shape gets to complicated for the shapebender plugin...

Is there a table of contents as a preview for your new book available somewhere?

You should try to get comfortable with the tray, you shouldn't miss the improvements and new functions because of this...
