Looking for primitives...

retiretomaui

No, not cavemen. I'm interested int he Simtenero Shape Reprojector (http://www.daz3d.com/simtenero-shape-reprojector). What I will want are simple primitives, like solid spheres to use with this, but I can't find any. Things like beachballs and volleyballs have come up in my travels, but I won't want the lines and textures with those. A simple sphere, box, cylinder, etc., would do nicely. Any help?

 

I did come across this: http://www.daz3d.com/everyday-morphing-primitives . The description says it contains an extruded sphere, but I'm not seeing it in the product images.

 

Thank you for any suggestions,

 

Robert

DAZ Studio has the built-in ability to create primitives, can you use those?

retiretomaui

Okay, now I feel stupid. I did not kwow that!

sriesch

No worries.  Note there are also options to control how many subdivisions they have, plus of course you can just subdivide them more if needed.

I think the extruded sphere is a lozenge, like a pill or capsule. You can morph it down to a sphere, or extend it as a rod with hemispherical ends. Or use the XYZ Scale sliders to flatten it.

The primitive tool in Studio is found under "Create", "New Primitive". Same place where you create a new camera, but down a little.

That's a bad description and it's my fault. It's not actually a full sphere. It's the top slice of a sphere with a tubular extrusion (plus a lot of other morphs).

Sometimes it's really hard to fill out the 'What's in this pack' section with short and accurate descriptions. I didn't want to call it a Sliced Top Of A Sphere With A Tubular Extrusion. LOL.

Anyway, it sounds as though the built-in primitives in DAZ Studio would be fine for what you need.
