Hi gang, I just purchased Potentializer. It appears to be a very cool extension to Carrara. I see hundreds of uses, if only I could get it to work! I can use a basic sphere and deform a simple vertex mesh, like in the examples on the Akurodigital's site. But when I go to apply the extension to my skiff model, it does not act the same. If anyone has used this application, and has success, I'd like to pick your brain. I see the limitations with the facet count for the mesh (water, land, snow, etc.) but a limit on facet count for the first object (boat, foot, ball, etc.) is not listed. The instructions are limited. Thanks, R.

I also found it a difficult program to wrap my head around. Sorry this isn't a help to you, but a hope that we both can learn from whoever the guru is that understands this puppy. :D

I'm not a user, but from what I've seen, it works off the hotpoint of the object, not the facets of the object. So you would need to make a group of something (target helpers?) that defines the shape of your skiff to use as a deformer. Does that make sense? markd

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think it would be an exact fit. Boy, it wold be cool if it worked off the facets... think of the foot prints you could leave : ). I'm waiting for V2 to come out. ; ) r.

If you do a search for "Tank" at 3dxtract. You'll see a nice example of potentializers....erm...potential. It has a lot of power if you play with it. Brian
