Curvy 3D Forum

That is a lovely use of texturing, colour and curvy maps working well together.

Looks pretty.

Where did you get the Demo Version? - I don't recognise the "Demonstration By M.S.H" text.

I love that robot

Lofts are rather undeveloped compared to lathes/lines - I am glad you have had some success with them!

I would be happy to host this on curvy3d.com too!

You should not need to re-UV map it, just pick a texture to use in the other app. Curvy should save out the UVs with the model in OBJ and 3DS formats.

For example...

To get the strong highlight on the top of the picture in this thread, I painted a white arc in the lightmap I used for the highlight like this:

You can paint your own lighting, just start with a square image 256 or 512 in size and imagine shading a big ball that fills the square up to the edges. Then right click on one of the Curvy Lights to choose your new image to use as lighting. This way you can adjust backlighting, highlights, and colo...

The pure sculpture forms (eg: fighd.jpg) would look really nice rendered out with proper soft lighting, shadows, reflections. It would show off the form better.

Do you use other apps that can do that?

Thanks for your first impressions, I hope to resolve several of these issues in Curvy2. In general Curvy1.5 is good for building up lots of simple primitives, but less good for detailed surface editing (compared to other apps available now). General discussion for the future can go here (and if you ...

I realised we needed a simpler way to join two objects, so I added the Merge tool which does the whole job automatically. I wouldn't go back to mesh editing myself now

If you mean the mesh editing tools, I have decided to focus on 'sculpting' rather than 'mesh editing' with Curvy - there are many other apps that do vertex/line/poly modelling and you can easily export to/from these with Curvy to use those kinds of tools.

Lake is a lovely happy picture

That is great! Nice tip on fragmotion too

I think the selection cross should be on a visibility toggle in the view options (but it might not be setup to do that yet)

Aha, you could use a image that never actually goes to black, then use an alpha in the texture map to cut-out the edges (Like I did in the football helmet example)
