Hi Joe, In pouring thru this lists archives, the 'feature request' dream thread goes around every so often, and I hear there will be another version coming out...
... I don't feel that such a list would have much meaning at this point. The primary concern with the next version of Meshwork is to have it doing everything...

... No, I disagree. It's a really important development. Currently, managing places where there are creases or seams is a major chore, and quite error-prone...

Hi all, I'd like to design several models on independent files, then paste or import them into a master file. I don't mind if all the textures get trashed, so...
... Yes -- just use the Copy and Paste commands. Doesn't that work for you? Best, - Joe -- ...

... Wow, that's strange. Carbon and Classic versions of Meshwork use almost entirely the same code. It's hard to see how one could go wrong but not the...

Don't want to bug anyone, but I've got a few projects I can't work on until I have a mac program that lets me make skn files for TheSims. I've heard that the...
Hi Joe, The problem seems to have corrected itself. I can now copy|cut && paste in-between documents. I've made a mental note to keep a track on this quirk...
Sorry I don't look at this forum that often, so I'm late to the party on this one. On top, I'm not sure if I entirely understand the issue at hand, but here's...
Hello All, I am new to 3d in general and to meshwork in particular. I have worked thru the tutorial on the spotted mushroom and all went well even with ...
... Sorry, that's a typo; it should say "are NOT part of 3DS." See the rest of that same paragraph: the name of each material is written out as the texture...

Thanks for the reply. that begs another question, the file the manual speaks of is not written out. Do the textures have to be named in order for this to...
... OK, fair enough -- the next version of Meshwork *will* have a Preferences dialog, but the current version doesn't need one, because it has none of the...

Don't get me wrong, Meshwork is awesome. It's my favorite modeler I have used (LightWave included). It's full of little quirky things that are missing. ...
Hi all, It's been a long time coming, but I've finally uploaded a new tutorial that shows two methods on how to get UV-tight textures using planar and pinned...
Thats cool... but is there anything I can do if my model is... like... 1500 polygons? Can I still get away with mapping pieces of it with hide and show or do...
Depends on what you want to do. I've done a few 2000-polygon models (including humanoids) that are fully built and textured within Meshwork using the...
Hm... mine is humanoid model but its needlessly complicated. I fear (know) I will wreck it if I take it apart... can I get the same effect by hiding pieces I...
Awesome! Thanks Jeff! Of course you'll need to write all-new tutorials when I finally get the Meshwork rewrite done... Well, not entirely new, but new enough...
