Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 13, 2011 Hash Fellow Posted September 13, 2011 Can any one make this work correctly... (this is the procedure for making the tires in the FW-190 tut in TAoA:M) Lather yourself a circle like you are going to make a torus. Instead of moving it so you can lathe it around the default axis, Group it and move and rotate the pivot so you can lathe it into a torus where it is. Lathe it. I get very distorted splines in v16 Quote
knipple Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Hey robcat, I went through the same thing when doing those tutes. I tried to lathe the wheel around the axis and for the life of me could not get it to work. I did find a better way to do it(at least for a newbie like myself).. The following topic helped me out... http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showt...11&hl=tires Not sure if thats what you are looking for. Sorry I am still quite new to AM!

markw Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 No, I get weird results too. Looks like the bias settings are getting all screwed up in the lathing process. I recall a similar thing happening earlier this year in v16 when copying & flipping things. Quote

Yeah, I'm going thru the tuts I want to keep in New TAoA:M. I had always just done my lathing around the default axis an had never tried using a moved pivot until now. It does work in V15 so it must be a fairly new bug. Quote
knipple Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Yeah I just tried again for a good while, could not get it to work any which way, came up with the same results as the SS above :/ I went through the same thing when doing those tutes.
