General Anim8or Forum / How to round only certain edges like a chair
« on: July 24, 2008, 03:20:17 am »

Awesome looking chair huh? I didn't make it :P
Ok so here is mine:

I have been messing with the edge properties like in the hand tutorial but I can't really get it to match the actual chair or anything like it in terms of having only some of the edges rounded and the rest of it not. Any suggestions?
I am thinking about just cutting the faces and shifting the points and scaling them like in the heli-demo... BUT it would be neat-o if someone knew of a function that would be rounding the edges (there will be MANY more objects that I have to do that will require this).
BTW I love these forums and I am impressed with the community and everyone's general enthusiasm with helping others.

Thanks for the advice, I just gave your method a try and it worked, I also gave another method that falloffalot referenced in a movie and that worked great too. Thanks a lot!

General Anim8or Forum / Anim8or Texture problem
« on: July 12, 2008, 03:12:15 am »
Hey guys,
I'm working on a game project with some friends, we are building it from the ground up and I've had to take over the job of objects when someone left... so besides some playing around making appliances and what not in sketchup... I'm new at this. I work with texture maker (great program) and I have Vista 32 bit DUN DUN DUN. Anyway I have a link for a screen I took of the problem
http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll202/ostegodotcom/anim8or.jpg
So essentially I've done the UV tutorial and I have made a few textures to try using the method with the UV tutorial, straight up trying to apply it and I even created a mask of the texture and tried to apply a bump to a solid brown looking color. Needless to say, none of this worked. You can see in the bottom right of the bookshelf that some of the texture was starting to be applied to the object before it decided to just turn it all into one color. If anyone can help me with this situation I would very much appreciate it! :)
PS I did try grouping and ungrouping the object as well as selecting the faces individually, and with the component texture UV I tried x y and z.
Thanks for readin!
