Hello,
I'm a new but old member of AM. Used it about 7-8 years ago and slowly drifted towards the polygonal programs on the Mac. I've decided after seeing the newest program and repurchase that my characters, the SunPower Kidz®, would be best served with Hash. It's an all in one inclusive program that is obviously very user friendly and would allow to achieve an ultimate goals in creating interactive DVD's for children based upon my characters and their tale.
When I open a new project, and create a simple spline, then lathe, it is titled 'untitled' but when I try to 'grab' it with my arrow cursor, only 3/4's of the figure is chosen, that is red splines turn to green. It does produce that transparent green colored quadra figure with dark green lines which does cover the entire lated object. What is that all about? When I try to add a material, which I call skin, all that renders is the basic white? Again, I must be doing something wrong.
My characters, if you have the time are found at http://www.sunpowerkidz.com, so you can see what I've done and need to continue to do. Right know I'm focusing on Penelope Pear™. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
