Feb 15 12 4:31 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Ran: I tried it a couple of weeks ago. If you meant I would poop myself in rage, then you were correct. I've learned a lot in the past decade, most notably in this case the fact that I'm not the end-all be-all of 3D modeling experience, Wings 3D is considerably easier to use than most modeling software, and that some things are difficult to do because there's no easy way. Just because something's hard to use doesn't mean it's bad. Ten years worth of changes, same problem as before. It took 1 hour and 3 Google searches before I figured out how to move the camera. I found it buried in a poorly-made video tutorial, and I don't remember where. Entering camera mode was, as I recall, something to the effect of Ctrl+Alt+ RM-drag. Selecting objects also required a minimum of 3 mouse clicks, but at least I was able to figure that out without going back to Google. Now, Blender is somehow extremely popular and its userbase very loyal(only Mac users have more zeal). It's also the single most user-hostile piece of software I have ever used. What am I missing? [edit]why does + RM minus the space in the middle cause the letter D to appear? Last Edited By: Entity325 Feb 15 12 5:28 PM. Edited 2 times.

I understand reaload as: save the project; select menu File->New; select menu File and open an previously saved project. This will forces Wings3d to read the saved things. As the save action is supposed don't to make changes to the #we's/#st's, maybe that is why "exporting" action don't returns a changed #st and "importing" action does. So, I really believe the problem will be solved with that small change.

Splash screen has a Maya preset (Interactions: Preset -> Maya) Or you could have hit the link to the manual on the splash screen, or from the very first listing in the Help menu. If anyone's interested, here's the manual, as linked in 2 conspicuous places in the Blender interface: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual Don't ya wish Wings had a manual as good as this? I'm sure it's not perfect, but it's still pretty damn good. FYI -> 4th major topic from the top is "Interaction in 3D", hit +Navigation, then +Using the 3D View, and that gets you here: http://wiki.blender.org/i...ction/Navigating/3D_View ...where it lists (6) different ways to rotate the view, under the topic "Rotating the View", the 1st of which is "MMB". It's not the 1st major topic, because there are more important UI issues discussed in previous "chapters" like how to use & create the non-overlapping windows, switch between modes, and interface setups, etc. (There are separate UI's other than the default... there's a UV editing/texturing preset UI, animation, composting, & sequencing all have UI presets, as well as the ability to create and save to that list your own custom preset of the UI layout.. Continuing on the same page you'll see that the NUMPAD (or CTRL+NUMPAD) holds all your preset views, including entering camera mode with "NUMPAD 0". "Ctrl+Alt+NUMPAD 0" moves the camera to match the current view. (IOW, navigate the scene with standard 3D view tools [MMB rotate, MMB Wheel zoom, SHFT+MMB Pan] and when you like the angle/zoom, hit CTRL+ALT+0 and the camera is set to match it.) I don't know how this could get any clearer or easier to find, especially with an app as complex as Blender. All 3D DCC suites are complex, but, AFAIK, only blender includes a Compositor (think Adobe After Effects lite) AND a Sequencer (think Adobe Premier lite) which makes it even MORE complex than say, 3dsmax of Maya. Are Blender's compositor & sequence as powerful as AE & something like Final Cut? No... but then AE and Final cut can't do 3D character animation either. ... or fluid sims, or smoke sims, or camera tracking without expensive plug-ins, or have a game engine, or ....

Feb 16 12 7:34 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I guess this is the best place to post this and I cannot guarantee that it wasn't a Windows update that caused the problem. This problem is with Wings3D 1.4.1 and the latest snapshot release. After I upgraded to Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 the background texture auvBG does not appear on the model after creating a texture. It is visible in the AutoUV window and in the geometry window before doing Create Texture. After doing Create Texture, the model is white and the area where the uv maps are in the AutoUV window is white. The area in the AutoUV window above the uv map still shows a portion of auvBG. I get an error of GL_INVALID_ENUM in the console window. Edit: Never mind... I had a Render setting of Draw Faces instead of Draw Edges. oort Last Edited By: oort Feb 16 12 7:41 PM. Edited 2 times.
q11q11	Vertex hover, nohover, selected size settings` bug (linux)	#165	[-]
Feb 18 12 8:40 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hi I use Debian. While in vertex selection mode - I see vertices only as 1 pixel object, and changing settings don`t affect it at all. So I can set vertex size even 20 pixels, but will continue seeing only 1 pixel object, no matter which setting I change (nohover, hover, selected). While edges` settings works nice. This problem was for me in wings3d from latest Debian`s repos (version 1.2), and remained after complete upgrading to version 1.4.1. Thanx in advance.

Feb 25 12 3:46 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hmmm. Perhaps I have not built the last Wings3D properly. I'll look into that. BUG withdrawn for now. Interesting. I am building from DanG's master. Oort ... are you running a SNAPSHOT (tip) at this time ? Can you ? I seem to have the problem unless I change some code in wings:get_object_info to be a bit simpler. Not sure why.

Feb 25 12 9:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I have 1.4.1.137.g5ee2(pu) installed. Tested on it and yes there is something funny going on. I see 50524648 etc. for Area and 56464848 etc. for Volume. If you are working with the snapshot build I don't think you are supposed to be posting bugs in this thread. This thread is specific to 1.4.1 official release. It would be better to post bugs for snapshots in the Programming section. Thanks, oort

Mar 1 12 12:03 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	1.) on OpenSUSE 12.1, 64 bit, Wings won't start voluntarily (neither the version from the OS repository, nor the version on wings3d.com). I solved the problem by installing Mesa 32 bit, but maybe wings could check this during installation? After installing mesa, wings still reports an error in the console: ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/ania/wings-1.4.1/lib/esdl-1.0.1/priv/libSDL-1.2.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. but at least it starts and opens the 3d window. I don't know what that object is and what it does, and if it will cause crashes. LibSDL-1_2-0 and -32bit are installed. 2.) I get this error when trying to load preferences via File > Load Preferences Subset > Browse (internal error, log written to wings_crash.dump) Dump written 2012-3-1_20-59 Version: 1.4.1 Window: {dialog,#Ref<0.0.0.354>} Reason: {badmatch,{error,enoent}} Stack trace: [{wp9_dialogs,file_list,3}, {wp9_dialogs,dialog_1,5}, {wp9_dialogs,dialog,4}, {wings_ask,'-browse_hook_fun/2-fun-1-',6}, {wings_ask,hook,3}, {wings_ask,button_event,3}, {wings_ask,field_event,3}, {wings_wm,handle_event,3}] Last Edited By: ania Mar 1 12 12:12 PM.

Mar 22 12 7:19 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	There is a bug that causes a crash when you ... Edit Material dialog > Expand POV-Ray or YafRay Options > Keyboard Enter. For some strange reason if you Expand Options > click OK to close the dialog box... Reopen the dialog > Keyboard Enter no crash occurs. I have also listed the crash report for the latest snapshot release since it is a bit more informative... Edit: I just did a test and when you ... View > Camera Settings > Keyboard Enter you get the same bug report.

Mar 31 12 5:46 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My computer has issues with wings... Using my win7 64bit computer: 1: When i try to add a material (color) to faces in wings3d, it does not change anything. 2: Models that have been colored on another computer become either un-colored, completely transparent or the colors above seem to "melt" onto the lower areas. 3: When trying to select a face it does not highlight the face that my mouse is over, instead, it highlights the first face of the object. (does not highlight faces that are already selected either. Win7 Example [+] Using a win xp Computer from school or anywhere else: everything works fine XP Example [+] please help!

Apr 2 12 9:23 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I found another bug. If using the plug-in manager one removes all but one of the Render plug-ins. And then under the Render plugin preferences dialog you set dialogs to Disabled. When you go to File > Render > Wings will have a hard crash. This may be a conflict with the plug-in manager??? This happens in the latest snapshot as well. The crash below is from the latest snapshot.

Apr 3 12 5:01 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	#1 - Make sure your materials are set to "Ignore" vertex colors. #2 & #3 are historically video card driver issues. Also, #3 can be caused by having full screen anti-aliasing turned on for your vid card. It messes with the selection methods in OpenGL based 3D apps. (Not just Wings.)

qiqi	Assigning material on Imac	#177	[-]
Apr 12 12 6:43 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hello. I have an "assigning" issue. A 2007 IMAC version 10.6.8. Intel Core 2 Duo. I use a wireless mouse with this computer (bluetooth) I'm unable to assign a new material to an object. For example, I start a sphere. Then a create a "new material" such as diffuse blue. I highlight the object (turns red) then I select the "new material". I then R-click the new material and choose "assign". And nothing happens. The object stays highlighted with no color change. I tried all the different mouse settings. And I also tried two different mouses. I have a MacBookPro laptop(newer 2010) with a trackpad. On the MacBookPro there is no problem assigning a color or new material. I'm new to Wings and i love to use it. Please fix this...or maybe I'm missing something?

Apr 13 12 4:36 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Assign material in Polygon mode, not object mode ..... Not sure why, but that should do it !! Also, when creating or editing a material, there's a box for "Set" or "Ignore". Use Set if you're using the material to set the color. Use Ignore if your model is UV-mapped and has a texture Image. If the latter, and your model also contains Color data (such as Ambient Occlusion), a third choice of "Multiply" will show up and Wings3d will actually use both to display your model.

Apr 13 12 4:45 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	But since you got me on the subject, I have a bug report along these lines ..... If I assign a material to a few polygons, then "Smooth" the object, I keep my material selection. However, Same starting point with No Material assignment, if I store a "Group" rather than assign a material, then "Smooth" the object, I loose the Group assignment. The group name still shows up, but if I try to select it, there's no polygons assigned to it. The stored group should subdivide (like the material), not disappear. I'm surprised no one else has noticed this .... Last Edited By: justanother1 Apr 13 12 5:03 AM. Edited 1 times.
