Good morning, After extruding an eyebrow to give it depth and increased girth, how do you apply the same surface to the newly added control points and splines? It renders out as plain white. Thank you. Larry

Well dear forum, Thanks for all the positive input. Things were moving along smoothly until today when a new issue cropped up. Clicking on the arrow plus tool to begin drawing the eyebrows in the model window, I've come across some problem with the inability to create positioning of control points. When I click on a blink space to create the first point and so forth, the point, I guess the control point appears but now where I'm clicking so I have no control over it. Finally, when the "S" curve is finalized and I've clicked on the 'escape' tab to finalize the line, I can't selective individual control points even when hold down the shift key. I hope I'm clear in my question. Thanks for the anticipated help. It seems if something is depressed somewhere and I'm not sure how to "unblock" wherever it is. Larry Seitz

I certainly agree with you and thank you for your kind words and advice. Larry

Thank you Rodney. I appreciate all your kind words and advice as well as the others that have offered sincere and wonderful guidance. I'm trying to upload the image I wish to recreate in AM. I'm looking forward to it's completion and then onto animation and lipsynch. This is really exciting!

Thank you for your kind words. I'm looking forward to recreating the characters in AM. This is the present one I'm working on. Penelope Pear™.

Yes thank you. Part of the issue was the mirror image being depressed.

Thank you for your response. Apparently you were right on the mirror issue. Thank you for your insightful assistance. Thanks for your kind words. I have worked through some of the tutorials. It appears that now I've touched on the present relevant ones. Again, sincere thanks for taking the time to answer the question.

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. Larry Seitz larry@sunpowerkidz.com
