Yep, another vertex keys tutorial, with the new interface, in Flash…

This is part I : the absolute vertex keys. Applicable to meshes, lattices, curves, surfaces and possibly your dog why not. It is better to understand them before going RVK also.

Enjoy.

One of the Best… Tutorials… Ever!

Very clear and easy to follow.

Now: Make one about fitting an armature to a complicated mesh… :wink:

Thanks Trepido : I’m slowly getting the hang of it but I am also getting a lot of help from a lot of people.
It is Jean-Luc Songa Butera who told me about the no fee/no bother program Wink ( http://debugmode.com ) which I use for the Flash animations.
And Jean-Michel Soler (Povanim) who woke me up when I was leaving the impression that only absolute vertex keys could be used for other types than meshes.

So silver_hook you’re not the only one learning here ! Indeed, learning is my first motivation for making the tuts !

Which brings me to Odlin : complex armatures and nice uvmapping I still have to master if I ever can.
That should be in a FAQ somewhere ?
:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Glad you appreciated guys !

This is very cool! I didn’t read the knife tut because I saw FLASH (instant synapse response to the backspace button). But this level of flash beats HTML and Viewlet and could become a standard for tuts. Thanks for taking the trouble! And, yes, the info is also relevant. Now I will no longer read IamInnocent but IanInnovator.

Thanks but as I said someone pointed me to Wink first so I am still innocent, even of my good deeds ! :expressionless:

It a good idea to witness that even if someone hate Flash (and sometimes I do) it is worth using in this case. You did well there !

Now if I could invent the ‘Relative Keys’ button for the curves that would be something. I was pointed to the one in the meshes (which I didn’t need) and I found those for lattices and surfaces but nothing for curves : may it be that the tab is too small ? Can it be stretched somehow (j/k)

Regards
