    Not that simple, I'm afraid. The arrow needs to be texture friendly, and to utilize an all in one combined texture jpg, if possible. I've shaped the primitives more complex than their default maps will allow.

    The Point I'm doing this, is so that if I or anyone who downloads this freebie when its released, can apply detailed textures, like patterns and have it all reasonably line up nicely. Like this UV map I used with the Tribal Bow.

    I am a bit upset that Amy and Rory have done their last episode. Wonder who the new girl will be like. No new episodes until Christmas.

    Mm I guess I'm just used to the "coward's way out" when texturing things and leaving it to Cinema's cubic projection type XD
    3 out of 5 times it works like a charm with some adjusting on the tiling values. X3

    Morning. October already, waah where has all the sunshine gone ? Feels especially cold under a bleak grey sky today. perhaps the sun will shine later on :)

    ...it's going away here as well.

    I think it eventually ends up in the same continuum where all the left socks go when you put clothes in the dryer.

    Sun came out eventually, hope the lost socks don't come back 'cos I put their siblings in the bin :)

    do whatever works, I tend to atlas everything I can that doesn't overlap

    85 days to Christmas. close enough.

    ...wouldn't know it was still that far off considering the local department store chain already has lights and other decorations on the "seasonal" shelves.

    Looking forward to relaxing for a while then :)

    There's nothing wrong with that Rezca! I too use the easy techniques very often lol, But not for exporting to other users. :) Plus, the more I use the advanced stuff, the more I learn and the better I get at it too. :cheese:

    Dammit... You think you've got everything done just right... Until you do a test render with the UV template so see any last minute faults... And you get this :down: Back to the UV mapping again Meh.

    This is a link to a check texture from Daz you use to test UVs for precision and stretching :)

    Thank you for that :) Yeah I tested it prior to Daz in 3ds max... Max is rather more accurately rendering than Daz in that it worked against me and made me overlook the fact that I mistakenly did not delete a duplicate fletching which wasn't UV mapped and was only a teenie tiny bit angled away from the rendered surface in Max view port. Daz rendered both the uv mapped one seeing through to the non uv mapped one which I was supposed to delete lol! So sometimes two programs can really help you find faults haha!

    Thanks again for that, I shall add it to my archive, very useful! :cheese:

    No worries. A bit of assistive tech goes a long way. Mostly. :)

    Another day and I'm here. That's good enough for me. Rainy cool weather for the day, lot's of nothing that needs done. Look's like a good day to play with my cat's, boot up DS and play with my sets some more, hit my downloads and maybe get some installs done. One thing I know I'll do, I'm gonna run and pay all my bills before the next sale starts. Then I'll know just what I can spend. :cheese:

    A tip. If the Forum appears to eat a post, use the back button to get the post back and try submitting it again. SOmetimes you have to do this several times, it's all good excercise for the mouse finger.

    ALso something else that sometimes helps is to preview the post before posting it. Note I do say sometimes :roll:

    does weredragon sound too weird?
    weredragons aren't people who turn into dragons, they're dragons who can shape-change into humans.
    so, technically there is no lycanthrope disease involved.

    not all dragons can shape change. and only the royals have healing powers, which is what makes them royal.

    i'm doing one last re-edit to go with the new illustrations. my last chance to change weredragons to another terminology before i'm stuck with it forever.

    Not at all. There was a comic about this human guy that turns into a feral dragon every month for one night, and loses all control of himself while he's under that influence.

    That is a odd sounding term, In some books I've read I've heard that type called Dragon-Kin. As in they are more Kin to man than the others.

    @Rezca: Would that not be more the Lycanthrope thing than shape changing?

    I loved Brave. There were several points where I teared up. This is one I have to buy and I want that hair...for me.

    ...I wish someone would come out with that wild kind of hair too. One thing though, it would most likely be a transmap nightmare to render.

    Although it would be nice to have Brave hair on my computer, I actually want it in Real Life, on my head, to go everywhere with me.

    I was thinking of a character named Chika who is a weredragon. She can change between dragon form and human form. she is actually half weredragon and half vampire. Mum is vampire and pa is a weredragon. Chika is Kulay's cousin as their mothers are sisters.


    so I do not find it weird at all.

    Guess Chika's pa can be considered a weredragon not dragon kin.
