Let me know if you end up using it because I'm curious. If you need something closer to your pic let me know that as well. It's good practice :)

I'll attach the .obj in the next post. No textures added.

Enjoy!

This would be a good shade model test. Should be pretty straightforward. Maybe I'll see if I can make one tonight. E

LOL You can need help and not be stupid too you know :)

Hmmm..... As I read the posts here my initial reaction was to say "Don't quit!" But... You know you better than anyone else does. This is obviously a hobby for you and you are frustrated. I can understand that. I think what you need to decide is wether or not you LIKE to work in 3d. If you do then you should stick with it and, as many have said here, set your goals to small managable chunks. Don't make clothes make a prop. Learn by working in small chunks. If you really must make clothing then you can even do that in small pieces. There is a skirt tutorial over at shaders cafe. Try that. Then do it again. Then do it without the tutorial. Then modify it. Then shade it etc.... There's a bunch of tutorials over there you can look at. I am trying to learn shade myself so I can feel your pain. I am working through the tutorials over at the cafe now and I am going chapter by chapter in the manual. Now, as I said eariler, you really need to decide if you like 3d. Maybe you like 3d but not creating it. If that's the case then don't kill yourself. There is nothing wrong with just hanging out in the galleries either. Whatever the case, I assume this is a hobby. If it is then you should enjoy it. If you dont then find something you do enjoy. Whatever you decide I wish you luck! Eric.. btw I am jealous you have Vue infinite! WOW! What a great prog!

hee hee. I am happy with CL though. I dont find the CP thing a big deal myself. That's not to belittle when many of you feel is a big deal, just my opinion.

"Dear customers, we released P6 knowing it had critical bugs that any normal application would never be able to include [like memory management]. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thanks for your money, if the program ruins hours of work time, we could care less." That is just silly! Hello? Most programs have some issues when they are released. Any remember that little company Microsoft? I for one think CL is doing a great job getting the product released and addressing the communities issues. I dunno, I guess I'm happy with it! Oh, and I LOVE Jessie! :)

If I say that I wait with baited breath does that mean I smell like worms?

I like cake.

It is a clean install. I had P5 on my machine at the time so I dont know if it checks or not but I know it is a full install. Hope that helps.

Do the render without the image and save it as a TIF. The TIF is important because you can use the alpha channel in Photoshop. Now open the image in photoshop and go to the channels pallet. Click on the white part (your model) with the magic wand selection tool. Switch back to the normal view and copy. Paste this onto a new layer. Create another layer and add your background to it. Move this layer below the one you created above. That should about do it. Now you can do things like add a bit of gaussian blur to the background to give some depth etc... That's the basics anyway. I hope that helps!

I hope you're right! Thanks for the update Tanithis

So you heard back from them?

I gotta say this is starting to tick me off! The first few days I can understand you know, wanting to save the bandwidth for people who paid for the product. Now, however, it's been over a week and I don't get what the holdup is. Are we not also customers? I hate the fact that I was told the codes would be available yesterday and even after emailing them I get no response for 2 days. It sucks to have to wait. It sucks more to be left in the dark. Why don't they just put something up on their website or answer the damned email!? Maybe it's just me but I think this sucks!

Nothing yet. I emailed them yesterday and I've heard nothing.

Hey! where's the nude V3 waving a sword? I know I left her around here somewhere
