Video : do braids - Polyloop

dalboris · 27th May 2006, 20:22

Hello all !

Here is a video showing how to create braids in Hexagon.

the video is in realtime, 800*600, the compression quality isn't very good, but not -too- bad I think. The advantage is that you haven't to wait to see the video, because the download transfert is faster than the play speed (for ADSL..)

If you prefer a better quality (but more download...) for the next time, say it me please

Hope it could help some of you

I though of another way-but lost my memory! Will look it up and come back

dalboris · 28th May 2006, 13:08

Yes, very good method

but it's difficult when you don't remember exactly the method.

My method is more "manual" : you see the result in real time, and can find the organisation of the braid.

this new method is more "mathematics", you have to well-know how a braid is construct, before begin the modelisation. Anyway, the braid is more perfect

Dalboris? Are you still around?, the link to your video doesnot work. Anyways to get an upadted video link?

Can that be bend? like made into a snake like shape?

dalboris · 19th April 2007, 19:39

mayito : there is no problem here, I can download it without any problem.

Maybe you should try another time, and if it still don't work, i'm afraid I can't do anything, sorry...

behzad : yes, it is possible to bend it, with the same called tool. (see my old thread "rikku" : http://forums.polyloop.net/attachmen...6&d=1148591729 )

however, this tool has a big limitation, it is that it can't be used in 3d. I mean : it is necessary, for a good result, that the "bend line" (the "guide for bending") is in a plane. So for a 3d result, we should use some trick, as bending twice the object, but this trick can't work for all the situations, and it is sometimes very boring...

mayito7777 · 19th April 2007, 19:46

Sorry, I managed to downloaded it, it took me a while because the server seems very slow, and it works fine. Thanks.

mayito7777 · 19th April 2007, 19:50

Can this tutorial be done in Amapi?

dalboris · 21st April 2007, 01:31

Mayito : Yes, I see no tool which didn't exist in Amapi.

Behzad : I didn't remember yesterday, but viewing the video today, I realize that there is the demonstration of the bending tool in the video ;)

Thank you. As a new kid to the group, this is the sort of help I was hoping to find.
