Yes thanks David I have gimp!!!

Anyone know of an app that can make images tileable for decaling/texture mapping? Would really be handy.

Ok well guess that's what I'll have to do for LAT today. Talk to you then.

Sorry, what is LAT? and yes the Chrome problem was fixed using AVG.

Can we type in dialog on Live Answer time?

Got the Chrome issue FIXED! A friend used AVG and it found a bunch of malware and got rid of it (for now anyways) But still have a sound issue re; Live Answer time. robcat2075 see attached pic of the headset I used last time I was at Live Answer Time but had a computer with 2 ports then (headset & mic) the pic you posted of my computer here is correct but this is the only headset I have for now. I'm sure I can buy a proper headset but not before tomorrow so not sure whut to do. Thanks Fuchur I will get Firefox and try that but right now things are working again after 2 frickin' weeks of frustration & foul language.

True the California roosters are a spoiled bunch. But I have a sound problem. the last time I came to LIve Answer was on my old PC but now I have this Beelink mini PC and there is no microphone port - only an earphone/sound out port. I'm not sure what to do as my #2 machine isn't hooked up to the web.

Yes i will. Remind me-I have to go to live answer time 10am California time, correct?

no this is computer #1 that's on the internet but have started working on #2 (non-internet) and it's working ok for now.

Unplugging keyboard & mouse had no effect. And yes I have what you just posted as well and tried it but keeps telling me that chrome is open somewhere but it isn't. Tried the task manager to shut all chrome processes off - no effect. Pretty sure that chrome is the culprit but don't know what else to try.

Nope didn't work. Wouldn't care but it affects AM by making cursor disappear or the whole interface to becom unresponsive. Online says to uninstall Chrome and re-install it but Chrome won't let me uninstall it so gues I'm fukd. thanks for the suggestions.

Yes I realize it's not an AM problem so I will try what you just posted and let you know. thanks

Have tried all the things mentioned above and STILL no solution. Chrome keeps trying to open another window even tho I have one open. It tries then closes it. Have researched this browser trying to open and tried all the things suggested online. NOTHING! Every 5 min. or so google keeps trying to open another window and then closes it. AM is still randomly losing the cursor arrow and freezing interface. Running out of ideas but will keep trying to research. If I find anything I will post it here but so far nothing is working. Thanks for all your responses please let me know if you find anything that works.

Just FYI my computer is a mini-pc (Beelink) with OS10 windows. 8gig ram. But this problem is something I've never seen before.

Reset settings had no effect, again this is happening at random times. Sometimes I can work for a while and all is well until it happens again and when it does I have to use the Task Manager to shut down AM. Tried installing v19.5 - no effect. In bones mode in model it turns on the CP weight yellow capsule and that seems to piss it off the worst. Can't enter bones mode without the weights thing coming on. Has not been happening with any other app or desktop GUI so far. Tried creating a sample prj. file with a simpler model and can't seem to replicate the problem. Only happening with the big fat complex prj. file. Will try a different mouse tomorrow and let you know if that helps or not. thanx for responding.

Last 2 weeks have been plagued by strange interface anomalies. Arrow cursor disappearing, can't select CPs, trying to drag material onto group in the project tree just drags (scrolls) entire tree or the whole interface becomes completely unresponsive & have to shut it down with the task manager. This of course is random and is temporarily fixed with a restart but then returns. Just wondering if anyone else has seen these things or is it just my "curse" acting up again? I tried installing 19.5 but problems are still here. Anyone else running into this???? Any help appreciated.

Thanks Robcat!

Thought that's where I was AT!!! and where is the post for that link? Sorry I'm an idiot.

Keep clicking on this link for latest AM update but keeps taking me to same page and no download???? What am I doing wrong?

Don't know if anyone wants to look into this but when trying to copy two of these groups (Cap1 & Cap2) by selecting the group in the project list AM crashes, but if you select with a box then they copy with no problem. I had to make 36 of these assemblies for the Wright Bros. flyer one-at-a-time until I tried this work-around. Just FYI TestCap.prj

Yes this is solved and thanks

You continue to be my savior Robcat!! I had made those poses to help with decaling, especially the AngleFrame pose. It was hard to map one side at a time so I stood all those angled struts up vertically in a pose and did a cylindrical projection. But I was under the mistaken notion that you had to keep those pose sliders at 100% to maintain the texture position. And wouldn't ya know it-it was those frame struts that were at odd angles (30-45deg.) that were causing the problem but they were ok just by turning the pose sliders back to zero. I made those "mapping" poses long ago and haven't even given any thought to poses at all until you mentioned it. But when I looked there were 7 or 8 poses that I didn't create at all! Don't you have to make a pose? Can you create them by accident? And they certainly don't make themselves (or DO THEY?!!) Anyway thanks again.

It's happening in the modelling mode and in my chor. but when I saved the model out and imported it into a new prj. the problem vanishes. Yet in the chor. in my main project the problem keeps happening. (See attached) It's hard to see in the picture but it's there. So I'll send you the new test prj. with only the model in it in a PM. Thanks

This time there are NO poses involved. Attached is the model but it doesn't happen all the time just randomly. Last time the problem was having a pose window open but now it happens with no poses, and it shows up in the render. Please don't send this model anywhere as it's taken a lot of hours to build. Let me know if this happens for you or not. I'm using v19.op [I've temporarily removed the model so it doesn't get sent around - Robert]

Apparently I just imagined this whole thing. I had a group folder named WIRES where I had 2 grps. "Front" and "Back" and they were NOT rendering as lines no matter WHAT I did, but when I copied and pasted the groups into a new model and then pasted them back into the original they just magically rendered correctly and I saved the model out so I could send it to you. Now I cannot reproduce the problem AT ALL as if it never happened. So, thanks robcat! Not sure how you did it but it seems to be fixed. (Honestly, this really happened - I'm NOT making this up)
