Everyday I do one tutorial for Poser, Vue, XaraXatreme and Hexagon....a new year's resolution. The problem is that 80% of the time, my programs don't work like they do in the videos or tutorials. So far only Poser has not given me any problems.
Here's an example and I would love a solution to this one if anyone knows the answer. In this Geekatplay video http://www.geekatplay.com/tutorials/vulcan/ he is making a volcanic island. When he first starts he changes his island to a procedural and also mentions adding stones (you can see him click on the stones button). He gets a fine dusting of stones about the mountain.
Well, everytime I've added stones, I get a very strange and tall structures. Always have so I don't use stones but I see that they should not be tall and large. I tried making my mountain different sizes but it doesn't matter. Anyone know why my stones don't work properly? This is the kind of thing I run into almost everytime I do a tutorial and it doesn't matter which program.
Vue6Infinite latest build.
Second thing that happened yesterday is that his material had the red section at the top, blue in the middle and green on the lowest. My material had the red at the bottom, then green and blue.
I tried to recreate that today but it work like his video and I got red at the top, blue in the center and green at the bottom. I have not idea what I did differently today other than I didn't change it to object parametric.
