FW-190 using 2 splines in closing cycliner

[north]

this is in the 3rd video of the FW-190 exercise, around 6 minute mark in the video, the author draws 2 splines to attach to the circular opening in the front of the plane model in order to close it. when going into side view, the 2 splines after deleting the tails, dont show in the exercise, which means they connected to the other control points, but mine do and it means the attachment wasnt completed.

 

he mentions about performing some keyboard Tilda key or mouse shortcuts to make sure they attach but i tried what he says and it doesnt work.

 

please help

You are trying to join two CPs?

 

IIRC... you left-button drag one CP over to another and then right-click while you are still holding down the left button. Then let go

i will try that, strange, it use to work just by dragging it.

okay it work, but one more question, this is a seperate issue, the image of the plane disappears no matter what view i am sometimes, i have to constantly click on empty space or switch views for them to appear. sometimes one of the front view of the image is not visible but the others are and vice versa, sort of it rotates to being visible and invisible between views as well.

I'm not sure exactly what you are describing. Make sure your rotoscopes are set to unpickable and that their "View" property is correctly set.

 

Just trying it briefly, I can't get them to disappear.

 

It could be a graphics card RAM thing. Try rebooting.

the plane image just disappears no matter what view mode i am in. this happens alot in front view than any other view,

 

it is currently set to unpickable. when i close animation master and reopen it or closing/reopening the project file, it goes back to behaving normally.

 

now the view property, where can check for that?
