most likely it would be because we cannot understand what it is that you are trying to do

i am probably the last user of 2.49 on here and i cannot understand what you want to accomplish

in user preferences input look and see if the "emulate 3 button mouse" box is selected if not select it

and sorry ifor typos im dealing with stitches in my left hand

in your screenshot there is a surfaces tab and a box that says image texture

that would be where the use nodes would appear if you did not use an image as a master

you should recheck normals and use an image texture node instead of an image texture

same as the sub-d mod in blender does

it increases the face and poly count

it makes low poly good meshes and makes them more useable and kills bad meshes quickly

www.cgcookie.com

look in the blender tab and then texturing/ uv mapping there are tutorials in there from the mostbasic to the most advanced

ok i checked my wifes bag and the contents are

pepper sray

.40 s&w semi automatic pistol

3 clips

lotion

keys

peanut butter crackers for the kids

and oddly a GPS locator

i would think that in pser you could just select the das and pedals and steerin wheel and flip those on axis and then just move the original rigging to the side to match up but im not 100% sure

i dont know how detailed you want to make it

open the .objs in the file and when you save it back out you can use the original files rigging if you redo it in poser or studio to replace the old .obj

the easiest way would be to pose the car first and then flip it because poser and studio are very hostile to blenders rigging format and since i am not very well versed in poser and 0 in studio i wouldnt know the best way to convert it back

open the file in blender and select all of the parts

depending on the axis that geoes from door to door you press S+(x) or actual axis to scale and then hols SHIFT while scaling to scale it to -1

you will need to fix the textures becase they could flip with it but for the most part it is that easy to do

also on cgcookie there is a citizen tutorial on animating the UVs

its on the main page of the site based on a lava floe

http://cgcookie.com/blender/cgc-courses/creating-an-island-environment-in-blender/

the topic reminded me of this 3 hour 3 part tutorial

it would help if people knew the actual version that you are using since the newer versions have features that even the generation before it did not have

would you redesign your ownself because someone else wasnt in favor of it?

they re-adapted belnder several times to make the learning curve less steep for beginers and when they went to the level of the 2.5 series they went too far for me

i love the new additions in the tools and abilities but i absolutely hate the interface because as long as i have been using the software it was never changed this dramaticaly

for those that know the software better than they know anything else some speed tutorials are somewhat educational and for those like me they are no more than a challenge on doing it faster

but for those learning the software they are as clear as black paint in a pool of mud

the cgcookie site is so far the better of the sites i have personaly found and i suggest them to anyone

as far as changing the interface to make it easier for the rest i will forever vote against it

if you want to learn the program learn it the way it is
