I am encountering a problem with one of the chapters with essential with blender on chapter 4, page 93 at “CLOSING TOP” section. It seems that when I do the extrusion, but when I press the S-key. The line expands to the sides and not to the front like suppose to do.
How can I fix this issue.
Sincerely, A blender beginner.:o
I don’t have the book, but I bet know what the issue is. You’re trying to scale the extruded verts down to 0, at the center of a cylinder, right? What’s wrong is this: you’ve probably accidently hit the “.” (period) key, which means that all of the verts are scaling toward the cursor (that red and white circle with cross hairs) - which is probably off to the side at the moment - rather than the center of the circle of verts. Hit the “,” (comma) key, and then the verts will scale toward their collective center.
(Under the 3D window is a small button, 2 buttons to the right of the area that says “edit mode”. This is the Pivot point button, where you can set this value.)
eku–:no:
sounds like it’s trying to scale along the normal
hit escape, then S to scale, and enter whatever number you want.
or, press Z three times, then enter the number
Hello blender experts:
I have a real issue with the Chapter 10 UV Mapping in 2.49 version. I’ve been following the chapter, and there’s a procedure call “Stick UVs to Mesh Vertex,” or use the Ctrl-C hotkey. However, I cannot find this command under the select menu. There’s anyone could help to solve this issue.
All help will be gratefully appreciated.
