Flipping objects

[Grey]

two ways you can do this:

Use the Mirror command

use Symmetry and export it to exchangemesh and re-import it.

WAIT:

are you talking about Texturing with BodyPaint?

[matty2x4]

On the claws I have just used "flat" texture wrap and a few "cylinder".
There is body paint in the main "body"
Why?

just wondering if you were talking about texturing or modelling...

I wasn't sure.

[AdamT]

Are you using a "Stick" texture tag?

[kiwi]

Hmmm ya I am confused as well,not that that is not a normal occurence when it comes to C4D though :D



When you say IK,s did you mean to say UV,s as in UV polygons for texturing?,Or IK,s as in inverse kinematics for boning a model?

sorry I shouldn't have said I.K inverse kinematics :shrug: . I ment the arm has IKs but I am yet to see if they have flipped corectly or not - like the textures.

Yea looks like stick texture might have fixed this, or generating a UVW map before flipping as well.

As for IK it most likely won't work :(

Matty I just realized you are from NZ...doh!!!! :surprised ...dont know how I missed that.



I am from Dunedin :D



If you want to know more just message me so we dont end up having a long OT conversation.

I never knew anyone from NZ using XL before I came here, now theres what FOUR of you I think, this seems like an invasion.:eek:

[matty2x4]

What exactly is "stick texture"?:shrug:
I dont have any plug-ins running, I can't seem to get many to work so I gave up trying.... another long story.
Well Im not sure if C4D is a kiwi thing I use it because it is cheap(ish) and will run on my megar 128mb ram with a whole heap of vurtual turned on (+512mb ram budget in the pipes). Im just learning for now, but if I had all the ram, time and budget I would like to have I probibly would be on Maya
sighhhhh oh well
As for the claw I have put trying to flip the claws, feet and guns on hold till they are ready. I was jumping the gun, there is a load more work to do before I need worry about funny glitches like that. Still any ideas are welcome.

If you put say a texture on your model in cubic or cylindrical or something mapping and you deform your model the map will slip and look real bad.But if you add a stick texture tag it will deform with out messing up and slipping :) Thats right isnt it Kai?



I thought if you had VM on and you had say 128m that you should not have VM to set to anymore then 129 as it can actually bog your machine down.I have 512 and VM set to 513.

Er, you mean if you had the RAM...&..the processor..&..the serious graphic card......and lets not forget Cinema is lovely, never to be swapped.....

Thanks Kaiskai & Kiwi
I was looking in all the wrong places!:hmm:
I was looking in the texture atts and all over the show, thanks for the tips I supose it was a big case of RTFM properly in my case duhhhh.
oh and come on neilyb if you won lotto big time would stay with 4D??
I would be in Fiji on the beach not a computer in sight.

Didn't I mention the stick texture tag several days ago? Am I invisible? Off to the ladies' shower for me, then! :wip:

[matty2x4]

Sorry AdamT:hmm:
You are a very clever lad indeed, you were right first and deserve much credit.
Thanks for the help. Im sure you will be seeing more form me in theses here parts more often.
