You saved my time and nerves :) Bart on "Paraboloid primitive with wireframe" http://www.k-3d.org/forums/topic/paraboloid-primitive-with-wireframe#post-6751 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 14:31:14 +0000 Bart 6751@http://www.k-3d.org/forums/ The steps to create the file are: - In the main menu bar, Create->Nurbs->NurbsParaboloid - Right-click in the viewport, and select MeshModifier->NurbsPolygonizePatch Currently, most power of K-3D is hiding in this right-click menu, or the Modify main menu. For quicker access, you can also assign hotkeys.

Thank you soooo much for help! The first one is just what I wanted. May I ask you how did you get that ¨NurbsPolygonizePatch¨ option? Bart on "Paraboloid primitive with wireframe" http://www.k-3d.org/forums/topic/paraboloid-primitive-with-wireframe#post-6739 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 12:26:27 +0000 Bart 6739@http://www.k-3d.org/forums/ Hi, Not sure what kind of wireframe you're after, but I attach two possible options, created out of a NurbsParaboloid (from the create->nurbs menu). One uses repeated NurbsExtractPatchCurve applications to get a series of (exact) curves on the surface, the other uses NurbsPolygonizePatch to get an (approximate) polygon representation of the paraboloid.

I do need your help as I´m a complete novice in 3d modelling. Iḿ trying to create paraboloid with wire frame, though I can´t figure out how to do this (wire frame, not paraboloid). Any help and suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks Timothy Shead on "K-3D create menu" http://www.k-3d.org/forums/topic/k-3d-create-menu#post-5407 Sun, 13 Feb 2011 12:54:54 +0000 Timothy Shead 5407@http://www.k-3d.org/forums/ I think that the tutorial you're looking-at is pretty dated - there was a significant reorganization of the menus for K-3D 0.8. To make a connection to your input mesh property (or any other property), you can click anywhere on the property label, or the "plug" icon to the left of the label - this provides a menu of property-connection functions that are available for any property. From your description, you're clicking the "Mesh Options" button, which provides functionality that is specific to mesh properties.

The issue im finding is when i do a mesh instance, i dont have an option to connect the mesh input to anything. When i click the input mesh button it gives me options to save mesh. Anyone know why this is? I'd like to get to learn more into this stuff so thanks for the help.

I was looking at a tutorial "Simple Face and Head 3D Modeling" and right off in the beginning they go to the create menu on the top, then go to what looks like development, and they have probably 15 different options under that...i only have 2 options. Any idea on why that is? im not sure what option they use under development because i cannot see it very clearly, something to do with Mesh i think. Is there something else i need to install to get all of these options? Thanks much, Sam Timothy Shead on "Compile blues" http://www.k-3d.org/forums/topic/compile-blues#post-53 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:30:30 +0000 Timothy Shead 53@http://www.k-3d.org/forums/ Fair enough, I'm also using libsigc++ 2.2, so my hypothesis that yours was out-of-date is completely wrong. Since it's working fine for me in 0.8, that's what you should be building.

Timothy Shead on "Compile blues" http://www.k-3d.org/forums/topic/compile-blues#post-43 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:54:33 +0000 Timothy Shead 43@http://www.k-3d.org/forums/ It's possible that you have an older version of libsigc++ and the build system isn't catching it, but it would have to be really ancient (I'm guessing on the order of five years or more). Regardless, I strongly recommend against building 0.6. Even though it's technically "unstable", our 0.8 release is very close to release, uses a superior build system (CMake), and has many, many improvements over 0.6.
