WIll this beta version, when regged, ever expire such that we must buy it to continue its use? Or can we keep it? (goody goody goody)

about the gallery thing, I'll get you something soon.

pretty nice, but without an import function it's quite useless for me.

[edit] uh, found it, it was pretty well hid. i am getting a "out of bounds" error message when i try to import an obj file...

Hi Again,
Just answering a few more questions from everyone :-)

First off, don't be worried about it being a virus, we used Python (a scripting language) to code alot of Model Pro and we actually heard from someone who said this came up with McAfree before, but it's just something to do with the virus software not liking python.

Secondly, you can import .OBJ files into Model Pro! (joy) you just drop them into the directory: My Documents\My CB Models\Subdivision Import
the only downside is these models must be very low poly...( please open the examples in that directory in your other model program and then look at the result when loaded into Model Pro to see what I mean )

and lastly the best news!! CB Model Pro is free!!! once you register keep your key, because it's yours forever! no fees involved! Just create awesome stuff!

Hope this helps answer some more questions. thanks everyone.

Isinteract: can you send my key, since I got it from the site direct and didn't write it up anywhere. pwetty pwetty please

That's great! hhow much it'd cost if we wouldn't have the beta?

>CB Model Pro is free!!!



Joy!

Very promising. I could learn very fast alot of the tools. But I still do not know how to model with it. I would love to see a little tutorial for organic modelling.

Hi again!
for (Inestical ): Just register your email again on our site, and it will send you a Key! no worries :-)

as far as poly limit, I wouldn't say it's verts you need worry about it's faces... so here's the deal, if it's something you also want to paint in our system then I would keep it around 30 poly's. If you don't want to paint and just want to model, I would keep it around 100 poly's max...This is because of the way we build a texture map when we export a model you've imported.. Usually you model the high-res stuff in pieces anyway, then you import into something like 3DS Max, or Maya etc. and include all the pieces in your "render to texture" map of the low poly surface, then all you'll need to worry about is just cleaning up some seams in photoshop, if you have any. Here's a really great tutorial on this using Max:

As far as modeling in our engine goes, I will build a video tutorial soon, so everyone can get a grasp on the organic modelling idea. For the meantime I'll say it's almost exactly like working with a ball of clay, you push and pull and use the sliders at the bottom to control your range of affect on the surface. I usually start in "Med" or medium-res, and do most of the shaping there since it's the fastest, then I click over to "Hi" or High-res, and model all my details (veins, scars etc..). anyway, I hope this helps in the meantime. We will get a tutorial up soon.
