Cant snap to curves

[steelsky]

Howdi,

Ive just attempted to reproduce Waynes curve tutorial and am at a loss to why my brush wont snap to the curve/line. I tried it on a sculpt first but then tried it on a plane with the line as in the video, still no joy, just end up with a wavy line. Ive got pen pressure set to max.. and turned stamp spacing and steady stroke off.
Ive read that in mud2009 the snap is intergrated so there is no way to turn it off? is this true, so theres no hotkey i might of accidently toggled or something?

Any help would be appreciated :)

What are you system specs? Is this happening on every model (including the default ones) or just some?


Wayne...

Hi Wayne...

System spec is
Q6600
8gig ram
9800GT (just a 512 versions... not the luxury of your 1gig hehe) -
Vista 64

Erm.. Ive tried it on one of my models sculpted from the default bust and the default plane with no joy...

Are you running Vista64? What driver version do you run?

Ta! :)

after you draw the curve are you hitting "enter"? that was something I kept forgetting at first.

Also sometimes for me if the brush stops snapping to the line, I have to go into the object list, select something else, then reselect the curve. After that it tends to work again.

Let me know if this helps

Hey Dark (Ryan)...

Ya hit the nail on the head... I wasnt hitting enter.. and as you say when that doesnt work properly selecting other objects and reslecting seems to sort it.

BTW some nice stuff on your site ;)

Thanks

hehe glad I could help, trust me I fought with that for about an hour and finally had to watch wayne's video again twice to catch what I was missing.

and thanks! if I could ever stop sculpting long enough i'd like to build a new site, but mudbox is just too addicting lol

Haha, thanks Darkghosty for solving my problem, too. :D Gonna have some fun with curves. I always wondered what they were for. :)
And thank you Wayne for shedding light on those curves.
