i always forget where this is, but its now a tool in the toolbar. i’m not actually sure how to do multiple pages in the new illo…

how awesome is this. need to make my own kombucha, avoid the high cost (and environmental impact) of buying bottles.

BAM

this is quite disturbing. visually very nice, albeit DARK

apparently i’m not the only one who thinks the screen is too low contrast. here are some solutions for the problem.

i always look for this basic command aka maya center pivot. in modo its a bit different - it’s Edit>Center to Bounding Box>Center and/or Edit>Pivot to Bounding Box>Center commands.

change your Spline to Natural, and bump up the number of points significantly(200-250). The number of
points your deforming spline will affect the deformed object because it will be faceted/jagged
because there are not enough points. Next, go back to your ExtrudeNURBS object. In the Caps tab,
check the “Regular Grid” Box with the Type as Quadrangles. We set the Width to 5. Then on the Text
Object, change the Intermediate Points to Subdivided and the Angle to 1, and the Maximum Length 5m.
If the
primitives/ objects don’t have enough segments, they will be jagged. Up the segments (or group them and put
the null into a HyperNURBS).

this has answered all my questions.

Steven Roselle, you’re awesome. your videos are awesome. thank you.

even the details on sculpting in maya, using the new soft-selection tools. so clear and concise. good reference to hot keys too.
