Hi ghostRocket, When you add a circle, it is default to a radius of 1, diameter of 2 units. Knowing that, if your circle must be radius 0.3, just press S (scale) and type in 0.3 followed by enter. To add thickness. Well there's two ways to make a circle. One is a mesh circle. If you do it this way, ...

I just added my two cents at your proposal. There was a lot of buzz abouut COLLADA at siggraph and I think it has a great future with the Kronos group doing a good job. Wikipedia acceptance would be a great push. And as you said, some articles just scream for a 3d model.

What you have there is a so called "non-planar quad". A quad is only really a quad when all four points are in one plane. If not, it's actually made up out of two triangles. What you see is the two triangles drawn over each other, adding the transparency makes it look darker.

Have fun,

To combine multiple objects, select them with SHIFT+LMB and pres CTRL+J to join them. All meshes will then be joined into the last selected object. To export to MAX, VRML export works best. I don't know if GMAX has VRML import though. If you have any further questions, you can ask them at blenderart...

Yes I'm having trouble with this as well, couldn't find a system preference for changing it to a dot... quite bugging

3ds doesn't seem to be working here either. Import gives errors that Cube object doesn't exist... hmm...

Quick Assign Material (with patch and OSX test build) I'd like your opinions about a new way of assigning materials in Blender. Easy to grasp and use and much faster for such a repetitive task. For new to intermediate users, it can be frustrating working with material indexes. With buttons spread a...

So does Lightwave.

About what's natural, there's something to say for both methods, it's a shame not every program uses the same system.

I'm not sure what you mean. The grid in Blender is placed exactly the way every program does it. Perhaps you are misguided by Blender's coordinate system. Most programs use the y axis for height, blender uses the z axis for height. This can be confusing at first. And it gets more confusing when the ...

Which build of blender are you using? The official or a testing build or a home brewn version? I ask this because I always had trouble with selecting vertices in shaded ortographic views with cygwin builds. All other builds work fine. I don't understand why, but I gave it quite some testing, no cygw...

I just completed an animation in which I got similar AO artifacts. Just random areas of shadow, which change every frame. It wasn't even on a difficult pat of the model, just a corner of a wall and the ceiling. We ended up retouching the affected frames in Photoshop. The artifacts in my animation ar...

Yes I've been bumping into this as well, frustrating it is. A bug report would do wonders.

Hey that's funny, I just talked about this thing today with my colleage. He uses Lightwave and was surprised Blender still hasn't got a shader like this. So yes, it is possible. Lightwave has two different implemented shaders to do this. It's a shader and works like a charm! z3r0_d: I couldn't agree...

Hi lox_federico,

I have the same problem with every kind of light. Everything in sunlight is rendering ok, everything with only AO lighting is grey. I've tried nearly everything, the problem does seem to lie with AO.

Textures also don't show up with AO.
