Tutorials

[Timster]

Has anyone had any luck using any of the tutorials for the windows version? GROBOTO V3 views dont work at all, as an example.....at least not like they are used in the tutorials. There are a number of other falacies, like Snap features dont work as prescribed in the tutorial videos either. Or, am I the only one having extreme difficulties in using groboto for windows? :(:(

Tim,

The tutorials that we have there now are all Mac-based; some of what you see there is related to the current Windows Beta and some isn't. As far as main modeling and mesh-creation features the current Windows Beta (2.9.9.l) is pretty much settled for 3.0 release, so we finally feel that we can start making windows-based tutorials that will not be outdated for the release version. You'll see a number of them very soon.

Boris.....how do I access the flexform tool??? There are a lot of features that I cant find.

[Timster]

For example, the View button next to the Stack button does not work.

Timster,

Are you using the latest version? I don't see any problems with the View button.

The flex tool on Windows still has only limited implementation, what you see available in Window->Modeling Tools. The full implementation will be coming in 3.0.x releases.

I am using Groboto 2.9.9.I and clicking the view button appears to pop open a window but it quickly vanishes and the present view does not change. Is there some magical button you have to hit ahead of time or at the same time to make it work?

[Timster]

OK....thats strange....now it is working :(

[boris]

Sure, in 2.9.9.l the View button wasn't even implemented for the new Level camera (but it was always working for the old Free camera, which quite likely explains why the problem you saw suddenly 'cured' itself).

But why go into all this - in the current 3.0.1 version the View button is working with both cameras!

[Timster]

OK....I didnt know there was a new version out. Thanks!

[Timster]

WOW....tool resolution is even implimented in this version. Thanks!

Boris, Not sure if you all are interested in an issue I am having here, but I have a model that when ever I perform a radius adjustment, it locks up groboto everytime. It doesnt make a difference if I am adjusting the upper radius or lower radius, it locks up groboto.

[Timster]

Boris, I tried the same operation on earlier saved versions of the model on the same feet and hand elements and it doesnt lock up so something has gotten corrupted. Just thought you might want to know.

Timster,

Sure, if you ever get it to happen on a saved version, e-mail the file to info@braid.com and I'll look into it.

Thanks
