I made some basic human models with Hexagon
at least I should understand the basic of modelling using extrude and move.

Only for discovered that I can't skin. Only applied a texture to the whole object.
Perhaps I can't unvrap..I find the task very hard and frustrating.
I was able to export a texture map using Liluwrap , only to find that it is useless .


Suggest me how to to..

i suggest wings3d for modelling ( http://www.wings3d.com ) and this uv tut for it: http://www.muranon.com/axel/character/mapping.html

cheers

Or Blender. You see there is no magic formula or plugin for unwrapping and texturing. Even if you feel more confortable modeling in Hexagon you can export the mesh as .3ds and import in Blender for example.
Personaly the unwrap tools in Blender are good and intuitive for me, but could not be for you.

There are very good tutorials on that matter in the Blender Wiki or in the forums like blenderArtists, BlenderNation, etc.

Thanks...but I find very hard to model something ,even In a user friendly apps like Hexagon ..Blender scare me ( And I dl the latest version, the one with the sculpting tools).
Texturing something in Blender could be a nightmare.
The only apps where I was able to texturing an mesh as I wish, face by face is Silo (learning edition) but I don't want to purchase another apps right now.
I need the basis .. a danm base for starting.


I found the texturing task much more difficult than modelling ; a week ago I finished my first humanoid , then I try to texturing it, zero result and get an headache .

try wings, it is very similar to silo or nendo.

Dl Wings right now..I can assign colors to the faces ..

Colors but not texture maps..I miss the fondamentals , I guess.

Hiya.

I use Hexagon as well (along with my other favorite apps, Softimage XSI, Painter, and UltimateUnwrap3d). Hexagon does have some pretty decetn UV unwraping tools, but I'm more comfortabel with UU3D, so that's what I use.

What you need to do is read up on general UV mapping. What it is, how it works, limitations, etc. There are a lot of good tutorials out there, here are two:

http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=47257 <-- Hexagon spcific. Very helpful to understanding how Hexagon deals with UV mapping.

(PS: I've also posted this link for you at the Polyloop thread you started. ).

thanks, I'll check them.

Go with blender!
