Hey Thomas when I try to play your DVD? it will only play a few seconds then the display stops but the track keeps moving? I have tried different ones and also downloaded windows media 10 player again but still no luck- do you have any ideas?

Thomas · 10th March 2006, 06:47

use VLC (www.videolan.org)

"No, I don't think I'll do a video of a female character. I have some secrets I don't want to share ;)"

Shocking!

Thomas · 10th March 2006, 18:06

It's was on an humor tone Patrick..

Hi, Thomas. This is great but I can't get any file

please fix the serves

Thomas · 29th March 2006, 15:27

I just tested, all links are working. Try to do a right click->save link source as (or similar in your browser)

Patrick210 · 29th March 2006, 15:46

I just saw your reply Thomas. I was just kidding...... sorry!

TERRIFIC tutorial thomas.
Just gor hexagon 2 and I'll try to do a character helping miself with your tutorial.
thanks

jinraichi

P.S. Indeed, a tutorial for a 'REALISTIC' female character would be great. As you stated in the first post, that your mostly used to do female characters. Its great to learn from PRO's!!!!!

Thomas · 10th May 2006, 18:28

Perhaps i'll do one... one day (but it's a lot of work and not easy to fit this in 12-15 hours for a DVD ;)

soldatino · 11th May 2006, 15:16

hello guys, vhe videos are wonderful but a little too speedy (form me, of course). Please forgive my question but I'm a really new user of hexagon. My question is: after creating the first polygon with the "facet" tool I don't understand how Thomas continues and creates other polygons attached to various edges (he has an incredible velocity). Then, how can I activate the second line of tools in the toolbar?
Thank you, soldatino

Thomas · 11th May 2006, 16:21

Select one edge, on the side of the polygon, press CTRL(or command on Mac) and drag the edge : you will have a new polygon.

soldatino · 11th May 2006, 16:37

Hi Thomas, I have a Mac OSX and I tried many times to press some keys and drag the edge. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my Hex2 demo; luckily I discovered that if I press the "facet tool" again and "SHIFT" + drag, I can create another polygon attached to the edges of the original surface.

Thank you very much for your patience
soldatino

Thomas · 11th May 2006, 16:47

keep the apple key pressed before picking the edge, and then, move the edge with the manipulator, still with the shift key pressed.
And their is NO demo version of Hexagon yet...
For the shift key inside the polygon tool, it can only be used to snap, nothing else.

soldatino · 11th May 2006, 17:23

Ok, at the end "Je tiens l'affaire!" (it's perhaps the only french phrase I know). nIt's so simple that now I feel very stupid!
About the software, it doesn't work fully, it has "save" and other features disabled so I thought it's a demo version. I'm only testing it. I don't want to do something illegal. Do you think I have to delete it?

Thomas · 11th May 2006, 17:27

until you don't speak of "warez" stuff, you know what you do ;)

soldatino · 11th May 2006, 17:45

...only a last thing... Carrara Pro costs 549$ while Hexagon 2 costs 269$, but it hasn't rendering options. Which has the more powerful modeler? I have reade that Amapi 7.5 Pro is more powerful and it has rendering options, is it so?
Again, thanks for your help and patience, soldatino

jinraichi · 15th May 2006, 17:32

I have a bit of a problem just at the beginning of the tutorial.
Whe you do one half of the nose. than you klik on your clone icon and than you have the other half of the nose. than when you model one part the same change is made to the other half.
I don't understand the procedure of that proces you made could you tell it to me, Thomas?
I can make the other half of the nose hitting simmetri, but than I can't weld the two halves togather and the changes do not apply to both parts.
So could someone help me here out?

thanks

jinraichi

Thomas · 16th May 2006, 12:13

The symmetry with the clone function is useless if you weld both parts (the "clone" is destroyed). Or if you want to do that, then, you need to activate the Symmetry mode in the object property panel.
