I am in the process of updating my tutorials to include new pages on the
more advanced techniques in trueSpace. Already the deformation page is
available for you to go and read, I'll be adding a new page each day
(providing I get time) until the tutorial is complete.

Comments and Questions Welcome :)

Robbie, what are you doing in TS 4.2 to make portions of your models
transluscent or opaque so that you can see background behind them? I'm
using 5.2 and, no matter what seems to work in trueSpace, in AW, anything
transluscent turns out solid. Can you help me out?

Thanks,

Syn

Syn, I may be wrong, but I don't think there IS a direct translation for Opacity yet from any of the
..COB to .RWX converters available...... I use TS5 also and I always have to go in with Accutrans or
even notepad and add the Opacity parameters.....

Wondering if it's just something that got overlooked........ tho that sounds odd too

Offcourse there is Jonny! Cobdump 3, Accutrans and COB2RWX all fully
reconise and support opacity in COB files.

I do try and tell people *sigh*. Stay away from trueSpace 5+! Its overly
complicated with a whole new system and it has hundreds of new tools that
arent supported by AW anyway. Its only possible advantage is its a bit more
stable.

I've never used 5.2, but in TS 4.2 you select the paint object tool, then of
the 4 spheres in the shaders window you left-click the top right one, then
select plain transparency. Then right click the sphere and set the value to
anything between 0 and 1. This is fully supported in AW, although in TS the
object may not be rendered as semi-transparent (depending on your video card
it may just be shaded darker to simulate semi-transparency).

Thanks, you guys. I'll give those programs a shot. (I'm not versed enough
in 3D to change opacity by hand...)

There are a lot more reasons to use TS 5 than stability. You can view and
modify UV's in real time in TS 5. You have far more power and tools for
editing meshes and polygons. Those are just some things I can think of
right off the top of my head. I would never want to go back to TS 4 now
that I've taken the time to learn the new TS 5 interface and tools.
