Ooh thats nice. Well done

Hey guys.

Just wanted to let you all know about my new blog which showcases all the work I've done using SU & Podium. I will get round to getting a proper website set up but for the moment the blog will suffice.

Hope you all come and take a look, leave comments, praise etc

Thanks!

These are really good Allen.

Which style did you use?

These are all great Andri. Thanks so much for all your hard work!

I don't see any images either Pete

$10,000??? OMG

Think I'll stick with Podium thanks.

What is your video card?

Its an Nvidia Geforce 9800 GX2. Is this one that severely affects the bug? All my drivers are up to date.

You could also try turning off (unticking) Fast Feedback from the Preferences>OpenGL pane.

I'll check on this one and see if its ticked or not.

I appreciate everyones help.

Its not that either Chris as this can happen with anything I try to move. I've tried to deliberately make it happen but haven't managed it yet so I've no idea what I do that sets it off.

Hi Bep,

Yes I've got that ticked already.

Since I got my new computer a couple of weeks ago my inferencing seems to have gone crazy. I've been using SU for some years and have always found inferencing very helpful. However since changing over to my Vista 64 bit computer I'm finding that my tools are inferencing in ways they never have before. For example, I want to move a group so I zoom in, use my move tool to grab a point on the group then zoom out, find the point I want to snap too, zoom in and try to click on the new point. But I can't because somehow the group is inferenced on one of the red/green/blues axis and will only move in that direction. So I have to cancel the move and try it all over again. Does that make sense? I've never encountered this before and its a real pain. Is it a vista issue?

Hey Coen, great tutorial. I didn't even know about projected textures so was an eye-opener.

It looks as though there is a part 2. Have you got the link to it?

Cheers

It must just be me but I can't see any of the images and I can't even get the external links to work

You're all very welcome. I'm glad that you found it helpful

I've already downloaded Majid's maquette materials but I don't have the particular wood material that you have used

Do you mind posting just that one in your model?

I like this. I prefer the cropped image as I think the cigarette and the mug let it down slightly but its a really good render.

Would you mind sharing your wood material?

These are nice, Jason. I prefer the last option.

Is it native SU output or have you tweaked it in photoshop?

You just beat me to it Dan. Yes, I see whats causing the problem now. Its an old model than I'm tinkering with and I must've scaled it down.

Top marks

I tried redrawing the wall within the group that contained the rescaled material and it came out exactly the same. I then redrew the wall outside of the group and it was fine. So somehow its the group that is causing the material to scale differently.

I haven't tried resclaing the material. However I did try repainting the faces with a completely different texture and the same thing happened. Its almost as if the face itself has been set to a particular scale. Could that be possible? I've never heard of it being done before.

I have two faces which both have the same material applied but they appear at different scales. They are just single faces, not reversed and I don't understand why they should be different scales.

Its probably something really simple. Here is the .skp if anyone would like to take a look for me.

Thanks very much.
