Frootee I've used this before for that I think. Hard to remember all the new tools! :( - 3dvisuals dude Post by frootee // Jun 30, 2007, 4:40am frootee Total Posts: 2667 Thanks 3dv. BTW how do you get the screenshot, then circle items in red like that? I've seen others do that too. BTW I am about to start playing with your objects for the physics stuff. :) Post by stan // Jun 30, 2007, 5:08am stan Total Posts: 1240 actually what 3dv showed is like glue in model.. the only union in workspace at the moment is with primitives ..it works like mesh collapse rather than true boolean it can be found in preferences on the primitives panel Post by 3dvisuals dude // Jun 30, 2007, 5:09am 3dvisuals dude Total Posts: 1703 Thanks 3dv. BTW how do you get the screenshot, then circle items in red like that? I've seen others do that too. BTW I am about to start playing with your objects for the physics stuff. :) Cool... glad I could help. When you use that tool I seem to recall that you need to first select the specific modelparts you want to join together via "Ctrl-LeftClick" on each prior to hitting that icon. I used the Screen Capture tool inside PaintShop Pro for that as I usually do for image posts here. PSP was also used for the red oval and I usually use it for text additions to screengrabs as well. Great tool for sure and I've been a PSP user since the 286 computer days! You can get older versions of PSP dirt cheap ($25 or so), and any PSP version from version 5 upward can do that for you. The objects for the Physics stuff will be fun to play with for sure! The Accelerator Device with the ten wheels will require scripting of course but it should be pretty simple to do and I'm truly hoping Norm will help us all through that. The concepts involved are easy enough but the methods of creating the actual Accelerator PhySim Object are completely beyond me (and probably lots of folks here as well) without related help at the moment. I'm currently tweaking DX9 textures for something I'm about to upload to that particular thread (hopefully) later today... it will definitely blow some minds too! Hahahaha! See ya there! :D - 3dvisuals dude Post by 3dvisuals dude // Jun 30, 2007, 5:32am 3dvisuals dude Total Posts: 1703 actually what 3dv showed is like glue in model.. the only union in workspace at the moment is with primitives ..it works like mesh collapse rather than true boolean it can be found in preferences on the primitives panel Thanks Stan, I never saw that before! :o THat screengrab of yours also shows an input for "Factory Mode." Is "Factory Mode" a term for scripted automatic data input resulting in generation of primitives? - 3dvisuals dude Post by stan // Jun 30, 2007, 6:11am stan Total Posts: 1240 hi 3DV, "Factory Mode." seems to be the name of the option, which by default is set to 'object'..there is also 'sibling' and 'union' Post by frootee // Jul 4, 2007, 4:12am frootee Total Posts: 2667 thanks 3dv and stan. I haven't been checking all the threads Ive been posting too lately so sorry about the delayed reply. :p Frootee
