Not sure where I might find this option.

Refind Normals solved a good deal of patches, but still many are incorrect. I'll make sure I've Show Normals toggled on next time I am building some thing, for its a royal pain in the butt going over each and every single patch checking if its normals are correctly set

So I build my fist model, but when I render a lot patches don't render right. I found the solution and I had to flip normals on the patch that didn't render right. Any quick way to get all patches to be flipped in an outward direction so the render correctly?

Took me a couple of times, but I got it working. Had to change to view mode to see the effects. Now that i've done it several times over, it's quit easy and fast to set up, some thing I'm not able to do with photoshop. I'm limited in use of photo editors, I use Gimp because my Photoshop copy is god knows how many years old and has a striking resemblance to Microsoft Paint form Windows 7. I've seen newer version, but I don't recall it containing tools that could manipulate a photo as fast I did with AM.

Hi I’m new to the world of AM I’m still learning the basics and all and am using a book to assist me in my learning process, Animation Master 2002 by David F. Rogers Now a while back I read in some article or magazine about AM being used for photo manipulation. My memory is somewhat fuzzy on the article, but I believe it got used to enlarge their heads and alter them in shape somewhat. All I can recall was that a grid/mesh was placed over the picture, adjusted to in shape of the head and neck and next thing, the picture stuck to the mesh and it could be readjusted and dragged apart. After the heads/bodies were somewhat adjusted shadow/light effects where added with photo shop. What I recall it looked easy, but my beginner’s book does hold any topic regarding photo manipulation. I’ve also did some searching online and having a hard time finding any tutorials about using AM as a photo manipulation tool. With AM being a 3d modeling tool, I’m finding tutorials about the basic’s what my book already is covering and much more. Any one able to point me to a tutorial that explains how AM can be used as a photo manipulation tool?
