Quote - I have no idea, Shante... maybe because they are rarely used and so they are hidden to not puzzle peoples? I use the "Unhide Dials" script by Dimensio3d (in freestuff) if I need these dials (or any other hidden thing in any prop or character).
The complexity of 3d-figures is, IMHO, needed to please as many people as possible and to enable them to alter things to their needs. So far there is no "Make Art" button (except in some of PhilC's tools ;o) ) - and in fact I won't like to have one as we would see the same scene over and over again.
Les: What you write about scaling is VERY interesting! I will download the sites in question in a minute and play around as soon as I can!!!
And thanks to all for the nice get well wishes. In fact the feeling you have after someone poked around in your footsole is at least questionable. But this had to be done (the doctor said: We have to take this out - QUICKLY!!) and, best of all, in the end it was not what he was afraid of but just an unususal looking plantar wart.
You can for sure imagine that we took the wheelchair today and went to town to have two (2!!!) Baileys
I think you misunderstood or maybe i got so wordy I lost my stream od conscious and therefore you all. But, I too don't want a simple CREATE ART Button. I have been an illustrator/sculptor/phtographer/videographer/filmmaker/graphic designer/jewelry maker/leather craftsman/wood worker, or 'en bref...an artist of some sort since I was in fourth grade. I can assure you without divulging my age here, been doing all this artsy fartsy satuff all my life! So much so I can not think of what (ELSE) I want to be when I grow up.
But wanting 3d content that works as you would like for it to work or as you've been led to believe it should BEFORE you plunk your money down (in the case of purchased items) I don't think is unwarranted. And if it doesn't then I also don't think it is being to greedy to expect the creator to make the adjustments needed to mke it work the right way.
I think including a male morph for example (and I am not going to make it a direct attack on any one artist here but using this as an example only), as part of the original product that doesn't work properly with addendum morphs sold or given away after the release (whether free or purchased) of that first character, is something that should be addressed. it isn't expecting a CREATE ART button but it is expecting to get something that makes sense to work the way it should.
We can't ALL create 3D content. Many of us need to rely on Content Creators who do so understanding what they create and how it might be used and at least add the options that will bring as many users to the creative fold we all want to be at using products out of the box. Nor is it too pretentious expection additional support products for those items to be made available whether free or purchased, that will elevate that product to be embraced by more people, etc..
If I buy a character that offers a male morph and then buy an expansion product to add more morph options I sure don't want that male character to grow breasts when applying bulk or muscle morphs.
Am I wrong here or am I just expecting too much.....maybe a Create Art Button as you say...but I don't think so?
