Is there anyone that has used Blender to design a plane for RF? I am messed up with the lexicon they use to define what RF calls pivot points. I have my plane fully designed, but now I have to define the "hinges", and I really don't understand what object element should I use, besides parenting.
Any help will be appreciated.

There is one person that I know of that uses blender, but he's not here very often, bosshawg is his username so you can try messaging him.. Otherwise you can look at the student version of Max and I'm sure one of the other modelers here will help you.

Thank you csgill.

I am waiting for a 3dmax sw response, however, I would like to figure out Blender, as I already got familiar with it.
Will try to contact bosshawg, and see how things develop.

Kind regards.

I have the robertlong, but I can't find in this site nor github anything related to logbob13. Can you give me a lead on that one, please?

What's wrong??

Funny UV map. I selected the whole plane and got this nice modern art picture, that not even Picasso would be able to create.

I agree, that isn`t Picasso`s style at all, the thought of crating something like that would NEVER cross his mind. NOW, Davinci, he wouldn`t have a problem with that at all.

 

[richrfl]

Uncle, thanks for your help. Reviewing DaVinci's work I figured out how to get a proper UV.

 

[uncle twist]

Glad to help rich, But to be honest, I`m detecting a little sarcasm there. LOL, I had something similar (well sorta) happen when I was building my first and only model for RF, I freaked out when it did (see picture) BUT, somehow and only by a miracle, I pushed the right key or something/what ever ?????and everything was back to normal, ...........If you look at (let`s say) the 5:00 o`clock position, you can actually see the plane in there.
