[Booleans in render?]

Hi there.

Working more through Fuchur's excellent Tank tutorial project and have completed the second video, which ends with adding boolean holes to the end of the turrets.

I noticed an odd thing (well, odd to me, surely familiar to others). If I do an in-program render, the booleans show up fine. 

However if I render to file, the boolean cutters are rendered. Is this a sign that the boolean isn't calculated in the render, or maybe the cutters have to be set to not render, or...?

Not a huge emergency and I'm sure the solution is simple enough. Just call me curious.

Here's the shots. One is in-editor, one is the rendered-to-file.

Really great tutorial so far! Very easy to follow and teaching some neat techniques/tools.

I'll never forget it! Neverrrrrr!!!

Once I've learned to use it, anyway.

That's interesting to know about the previous versions. 

It's not that critical that I use the plugin. Fuchur mentions in the tutorial that it's better to model the bevels into your model as you're building it. And I like that more hands-on, plan-before-you-start approach.  Maybe I'll challenge myself to add in the bevels manually, at least on the bigger edges. Good practice.

The advice was great. I had no idea about the older version thing. 

Thanks, robcat

Hello everyone.

I've purchased A:M, the yearly sub option, and am diving into some tutorials. I'm going through Fuchur's tutorial here. It's a project-based tutorial, which is my favorite kind, so I'm looking forward to working through it.

I've hit a bump, however. I located a couple versions of Zevel via a forum search here, but none of the versions I found seem to be recognized by A:M. I have it installed to the HXT folder, and I've closed and re-opened the program, but it doesn't show in the list when I right-click on the spline.

Is it maybe an outdated? Is there an updated version that works with v19?

I can bypass the beveling steps if necessary. No big deal there. Would like to include that step if possible, though.

Thank you

Sounds easy enough.
Cool.

Thanks, robcat.

I've seen a bunch of your videos on YouTube.  Good stuff! 

[Trial > Full Version question]

Hi,

I hope this is the right place to ask this. 

I've already received a trial license in the past, and want to upgrade to a full (yearly sub) license in the near future.

What is the process for that? Will it simply "upgrade" the trial key to a full one? Or will a new license be provided?

Tried finding an answer to this on the forums, but couldn't find anything specifically about that.

Thank you.
