virtual nickel 4 yor carrara thoughts: the next level

Mistara

i'se newly enamored of the crystal shader,  ior fun stuff

mebbe can do like a funhouse mirror effect?

Stezza

copy and paste ... if what I think you're asking is right 

select your object go into the 'wrench room' select it and copy

 

exit

select the new object you want and go into the 'wrench room' and uselect any that may be selected and paste 

repeat as necessary

In the past I have selected them all and exported as an OBJ then reimported the OBJ. I forget which options I select, but if you pick the right ones it will put them all into a single OBJ that you can edit all together when you import it back to Carrara. 

Mistara

Thanks!

Mistara

when i select polys and click unfold, it doesnt do just the poys i selected, it does the whole mesh ??

Vyusur

To unwrap just a part you need to select it and choose projection type, than click apply. That's it.

thank you so much!!  

you inspire me not to give up on carrara uvmapping

Vyusur

My pleasure!

Mistara

if i dont bridge the walla together will prolly be light seepage.
if i do bridge the walls, will lose uvmapping.

Generally it'll map the whole mesh. One thing you can do is hide the bits you don't want to map, but that "creates stretch" marks between the old mesh and the new. So the next option is to Detach Polys, which splits a new mesh from your selection.. But that also can create gaps in your model if you use smoothing. Always it's a compromise!

Mistara

after a detach polys  haz ta unselect it all then reselect the detached polys

 

Mistara

thinkin, whats a reasonable poly count vs size

so if a ceiling is 30x30 ft, 1ft polys?

for a floor, cloth sims need verts to collide against, so, more polys for a floor?

never checked if cloth sims collide against replicated surfaces, like floor tiles

Mistara

oh woww, the fenric duplicate tree is frikkin awesome!!!

I think for collisions, more polys are better, but I couldn't really say how many. For a general scene, the minimum number of polys you can get away with on a ceiling is . . . . . 1.

prolly no one would drop a cloth sim on a ceiling 
 

Mistara

clothsims collide against the infinite plane

i dont understand.  i read the softbody sim needed vertices to collide against.  puzzling

Mistara

made rombas shaped rivvets

fractal noise doesnt seem to work as a bump map

Mistara

adding a cork and juice prop for the skooma bottle

thinkin make it 3 separate props and then group them.  wouldnt rig such a thing?

and move the group hot point so bottle could tip over

Mistara

gahh juice not a perfect fit against the inner bottle.might h give up on all quads for this

back to the  spanner  room

 

set it to render subd lvl 3 

 

 

how to pour it ?  metaballs?

Works for me - here's a snapshot of my settings if that helps?

Selina

 

Thanks Selina.  screenshot looks good. 

Mistara

thnk i remember now, it was the softbody that had to be a vertex obj with lots of verts for collision,

Mistara

wush i could drag to add my prefabbed vertex stuff like quad circle to the spanner room straight from my browser tray

Mistara

i'se supposed to elevate my feets higher than my heart.
makes sitting at my computer awkward.
sitting sideways dont feel good for my spine
eeks  good golly miss molly
i dont know anybody named molly.  who is molly

Misty,

Someone made a chair with you in mind. http://vitalityweb.com/backstore/Human-Touch-Perfect-Chair-PC-Laptop-Computer-Table.htm Doesn't look comfortable!

sigh

need cake to free my mind and think creatively

Mistara

thinking champagn glass next 

dont need thickness in the stem

question to investigate, will add thickness to selected verts or will it do the whole glass, in which case i should do stem separate

hmm separate stem be better could use it as base to start different shape martini glasses
