depress the Move button after you create the box and before clicking on anything else one very long and thin rectangle with many sections in front, then move each section around the pod

Nice Defender TC! Will either the Tomahawk or the Phalanx will be next, since they share the same underchassis? Just an update on my WIP VF-1A/J/S. This does not transform and is in fighter-mode only. The main body unfolds into 22 parts; add from 2, 3, or 5 parts depending on which gun-turret...

OK sure, thanks!

that's the Trade Federation Cruiser i mentioned... Skip, it might be easier to do the meta model from the ground up (given that it's just a large deformed cylinder with fins), but using screencaps of your mesh to make orthos and textures. that's what i usually do with meshes that are too...

it's on my list but it will take a while... :)

i've been planning on an animated-style Trade Federation cruiser and the Banking Clan frigate as seen in the final episode of the Clone Wars animated series... just can't promise when because i have less and less time to break for hobbies these days...notice that i can do meta models but not...

looks okay to me! maybe you are just referring to the option of clicking on "View", then clicking "Smooth shading" which changes the slightly shading from the light source and makes it more natural-looking. personally i switch between smooth shading checked and unchecked (and with the lines...

i think you missed a step, where you change the number of sides from "8" to "14"

I am rather dismayed to see repaints of the Shunichi Makino's VF-1S being circulated under someone else's name with all references to his authorship removed. Having planned some time ago to make many different VFs in fighter mode specifically for the purpose of color-scheme customization by the...

JanoNath, that looks really nice... care to do a battle-damaged version? or paint schemes of other Republic units? ...gotta do some separatist ships...

JTF: Actually I don't think it would matter what scale your background images are in, what makes the program sluggish is the size of graphic file in relation to your computer's memory & processor speed. If you just run it thru your graphics program to proportionally shrink either/or both size...

great job D-whale. re Borg textures, i'm sure you can whip one up, it's mainly a layered bunch of random plates and tubes, with some greenish glows, after all.

Oh! ok, that's a totally different question. In the current tutorial, it's all been basically one object with different parts. This can be seen in the Object Panel. Unless you changed any of the Primitive creation settings in Meta, all of these parts form one object. A subsequent tutorial...

Yes, the tutorials will be edited to incorporate the Q & A's.

Er, sorry JT, I don't understand what you mean. If you're asking about texturing parts separately: you can do it by selecting faces individually. Just use the Shift-Left-click keys; these will allow you to select/deselect multiple faces in sequence. If you're asking about part-by-part...

I think that it may be because you're using an older version of Meta. Just download the latest one (MetasequoiaLE Ver R2.3b-2) from metaseq.net.

Tutorial 2, Part 2 BASIC 3D SCULPTING & TEXTURING FROM SCHEMATICS C. Making a multi-part 3D object We continue to make the other parts of the Orbital Inspection Pod. We shall now create the “wrap-around bars” that are in the front, sides, and underneath the main pod. Remember the...

Good idea JTF, I hadn't actually used that function at all since I normally kept track of the selected points/lines through the difference in colors. Hiding the unselected parts makes sense, makes the Drawing Area less cluttered, and easier to align to the image. For everyone, there are two...

You can choose to move several points at the same time by Left-clicking on them with the Shift key down, or with a rectangle using Left-click & Drag (with Rc depressed in the Edit Options panel) or the Rectangle select tool. If you mean moving the outer edges to coincide with the cross...

don't forget that fruiz already posted a link to several robotech models here: http://forum.zealotmodels.com/t155228/ i think i've seen a cardmodel of the SF-3A before... but i can't seem to find it again... hmm, found something else, a flying VF-1A glider kit, here. odd program looks...
