Wow…I just took a run over to the Rhino forum for the first time in a very long time and let me tell you, I feel like such a heel now. I’m so very sorry Ricky! I didn’t mean to rain on your parade. I had no idea you had posted a tutorial there until I read it here after my posting. That is a wonderful tutorial you wrote. It serves its purpose very well and sets down many of the basic techniques and “must know” routines that anyone just starting out would be very grateful to get their hands on. Always remember there is no right or wrong way just different ways of arriving to the same destination. And I must applaud you. I had no clue that you’ve only been modeling less than a week. I thought that surely you had been at it for at least a few months. I mean, it seemed to me that you were able to import freely from Poser using the object file, converting over to Rhino’s native format 3DM, rotating the model and then scaling it up to work in Rhino with it. You are creating your own polysurfaces then translating that to mesh all while making sure that the object normals were all facing in the right direction so that the model would be visible in other 3D programs. Then scaling back down and rotating the model back for exporting to Poser. I mean these are routines that don’t come easily and must have taken you at least several hours of hard work to get down pat. My hat’s off to you, you’re doing some fine work and great progress!

 

And an apology goes to UVDan. It seems I don’t get out much or as often as I should other than to Bryce, Photoshop, 3D Studio and the Poser forums. Every once in a great while I do meander across to the other forums but it’s seldom. I knew you were somehow involved with the UV Mapper forum and I just come to realize that you mediate the UV Mapper forum as well as the Rhino forum. I now understand the reason for your flattering invitation to post the tutorial at Renderosity’s tutorial section. Now that I know the request comes from lord of the domain (lol…let me know when this gets too bombastic for you), I see it in a different light now and your interest becomes clear. Not to mention the guilt trip you both have managed to put me on…LOL. But you both have good points about sharing information. So, if you’re still interested, allow me to reconsider the invitation. Of course I’ll have to get all the information required to satisfy the tutorial section requirements. Then I’ll have to make the time needed to develop the tutorial within the guidelines.
