Yes, we did it! We're done.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting this information.

[Altered_Ego]

You're welcome. I still need to learn more about doing morphs myself.

I just did an easy morph for this tutorial.

[Thomas]

Altered Ego,
Thanks a lot for your version of the tutorial
Please, can you add on your 1st post, in attachement, a thumbnail of 100x100 to illustrate your tutorial, and then, I'll move it in the tutorial section.
And perhaps, edit your first post to reflect what you will show in this tutorial, no?

[Altered_Ego]

Thomas, I understand you're one of the Recognized Hexagon Experts. Your compliment does me a great honor. I am further honored by your offer to feature my tutorial amongst those of the Hexagon Greats.

Yes, I will gladly comply with your requests.

Thanks for this Ron. It makes the procedure very clear and I'm sure it will be useful to many Hex users.

Cheers.

[Thomas]

Thanks a lot, now moved in the Hexagon tutorials sections!

[Altered_Ego]

Thank you, Thomas. You're welcome, -ash-.

You can now download this tutorial in Adobe Acrobat format.

(I've fixed some errors on the way.)

Hey, everyone, I've redone this tutorial and another into a better-looking format. Let me know if they're anything you want to use.

http://ronknights.blackraven3d.com/hexagon.htm

I've been doing general computer, Poser and DAZ|Studio tutorials at my site for many years.

I recently converted most tutorials to Adobe Acrobat format in an effort to reduce the sheer size of my site. It had grown to about 1200 pages.

Now I need to crawl into bed. I've been up way too late.

Is no-one paying attention? This "tutorial" is taken directly from the Hexagon Tutorial manual that came with the program.

Pages 116-126, in case anyone's thinking of looking. The only major differences are the checkboxes selected, and the fact he used Micheal instead of Aiko.

Oh, and he set it up in such infinitessamally small detail that a 3rd-grader would be insulted.

Using M3's head instead of Aiko's proves exactly two things, Mister Knights:

One: you actually went through the tutorial. Form what I got from the forums at planit3d, you didn't understand much at first, but you *did* finish it.

Two: You know just enough about the copyright rules to think that changing the pictures was enough to get you out of a plagarism charge.

I find it odd that I can match your 'work' up frame for frame with the published manual. I will not be printing pictures as others have in the past for different sorts of things (mostly bodybagging), but a solid look at the ui screenshots will reveal this thing for what it is, despite the way you redressed it. (I watched someone do the redress to look exactly right in Paint Shop Pro... I thought it was funny).

Some of us even do pixel counts.

What strikes me as oddest, is that you know little or nothing about Hex, based on your posts elsewhere (and your own admission in some of them), yet you speak with authority that says the designers of the program knew not what they were doing.

How... rude.

I'm going to get off my soapbox now, and let you get back to your day.

[Altered_Ego]

BlackSpartan, I do not recognize your name. Perhaps I don't know you, or you've been known to use a different alias elsewhere?

I've never claimed to be a Hexagon expert. I am still learning, and clarifying what I learn. I am good at sharing my discoveries with others.

I have a reputation for illustrating complex subjects, step-by-step in a manner that is easily understood by all That is a skill that is much appreciated by other Hexagon newbies.

Unfortunately, the experts often forget that newbies don't know how to perform every step of the way, so my style of tutorials helps a lot. And yes, even experts make mistakes.

By the way, I've kept copies of my works in progress for several years. But I really don't need to prove anything to you.

Yes, you're right. Thanks for the correction. I have fixed the error.

This tutorial was inspired by Thomas' tutorial. I "translated" the tutorial and added details in order to help newbies such as myself.

I've now decided to limit distribution of my tutorials in order to make it easier to deal with any future mistakes.

As it is a point by point copy of Kagi's tutorial from the manual, you're dodging the issue.

You mean make it harder for the authorities to catch you copyrighting the work of others? Very clever.

You get a gold star.

You still haven't answered the charge of plagarism and copyright violation.

Is it just me, or does this forum seem a bit more disrespectful now. Seemed it only occured after we aquired a few users from the DAZ forums. Hmmm....I remember a day when people were polite. Excellent tutorial, and definitely appreciate your time and effort placing the screen shots and writing the details. I can understand how this can take time that isn't always available. Thanks again.

[Altered_Ego]

BlackSpartan, I don't recognize your alias, but your writing style and your words are familiar. I think we've crossed swords before, elsewhere.

The tutorial in question has little resemblance to my own tutorial. It lacked any detail concerning how to perform the procedures in question.

I will not respond to any more of your posts.

shaunmckinnon, thanks for the compliment. You're welcome.

I've been doing computer-related tutorials for 23 years, long before the Internet... and I will continue to do them, at my own site.

I'm also a DAZ member, but I don't post at DAz any more. That is partly because so many people there are hostile.

Now I have my own forum.

playing the victim again. i think you are forgetting a little bit of information, you are banned from there. don't know if you still are, but you were banned.

stop advertising your site, because that is the only reason you are posting here.
