KenH Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Huh? You made all that Predator model without any hooks? For more info, look at page 128 in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravager Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 ive tried doing the hook, but it wont work. i hid the patch with the cp in the "hide" mode, and it just wont work, if i do it without the "hide" mode, it will connect to the wrong patch.

nimblepix Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hit the tilde key (~) with the CP held over the spline. It should be in the upper left corner of your keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravager Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 well, i know how to do it, it just wont work on a certian patch, probably a bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 When I have trouble creating a hook, I first create a regular connection where I want the hook to be placed. I create the new CP on the target spline with the “y” key. The idea is not to deform this spline too much. This will temporarily break the target patch since it now has five points. Connect the dead-end spline to this new CP. Select the new CP. Hit the tab key until the green “handle” shows along the target spline. Hit delete. This should delete the CP on the target patch, but leave the CP on the end of the dead-end spline. That CP is now very close to the target spline. Now without moving the CP, I create a hook, using the right mouse button or the “~” key. It is slower but this almost always works for me.

Muff Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Are you holding down the Left mouse button "while" clicking the Right mouse button to attach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
