Displacement Brush - manual OK? // New Users 1  |   Order by default Post by Ayath // Aug 2, 2008, 9:49am Ayath Total Posts: 9 Went from 5.2 to the free 7.6 - what a journey. Tried to follow the manual when trying to take a bitmap and create a raised symbol on the top face of a cylinder. "Working in Workspace". ch3_ModelWorkspace.pdf page 164 - 3.8.4 Painting with a Bitmap Brush For the life of me I cannot get anything to work. The furthest I've got is sort of an indentation of the Caligari logo. Not all of it but only what looks to be part of a "c". No posibility of resizing bitmap - not to mention rotating it. Picture in manual seems to indicate that I should get an overlaying image so that I can see what I'm doing. I don't. Get the image or see what I'm trying to do. Funny thing is that no matter how large a "face" I'm trying to influence I get the exact same indentation. Am I clicking on the wrong icons or is it a fact that the manual and TS7.6 isn't syncronized? I used "the blue snake" as indicated in the manual. Thank you in advance for any help.

Have you tried checking the 'custom profile' box? See whether that helps. I'm still not able to rotate the bitmap image but I can see it and size it with that box checked. Post by Ayath // Aug 4, 2008, 3:12am Ayath Total Posts: 9 thanks for your answer. That led me a bit further on the track. I can see the image and holding down right mouse button I can resize it. Holding down shift and right mouse button while moving the mouse around rotates the picture. Now we are both one step further - Perhaps we shall prevail in the end. :jumpy: Post by Ayath // Aug 4, 2008, 3:25am Ayath Total Posts: 9 AH HA HA HA HA Think I've got it. Thank you Heidi for leading the way. Create a cube. Right click on the cube. Choose face tool. Click on top face. Subdivide a number of times. CLICK SOMEWHERE IN THE WORKSPACE (widget goes from the top) Choose "blue snake" :p Find your bitmap. Resize it on the top (right mouse) Hold down left mouse and drag a small distance (NOT A LOT) I think the problem for me was that I always had a widget on the top face right there in the middle. And that was exactly where I wanted the logo. Once the widget was gone it all fell into place. Thanks again Heidi.
