2941.0. "Help on Sculpt-3d" by BAHTAT::BOOTH (Mr Simpson, hmmm. French is it?) Thu Sep 21 1989 08:27

    Hello again!
    
    Can anyone give me a rough Idea what to do in sculpt-3d?
    I can't get anywhere, as I haven't got any instructions.
    I can create an object, but can't colour it in or anything. There
    are a few pics saved on the disc, is there anyway I can load them
    to edit them?
    
    I'm just totally lost! Help!
    
    Thanks,

2941.1why not read the manualSAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterThu Sep 21 1989 10:565
    I think you identified your most serious problem in .0---you haven't
    got any instructions.  Why not?  (I am insinuating that you haven't
    got any instructions because you don't have a legitimate copy of the
    product.)

    Hi John,
    
    The manual is being returned to the company, as pages were missing.

    Hi Rob, First of all, yes you can edit the pics on the disk if the
    filename.SCENE is there. .IMAGE is the image itself and .SCENE is
    the scketch.
    
    Let's go true a little tutorial, First of all go in the ADD menu
    and add a circle. Now the circle that you see is like two
    dimensional because it only as an edge  and no surface. In order
    to do that, put the cursor on one of the dot that surrounds the
    circle and go in the SELECT menu and do select INDICATED VERTICIES.
     After that go in the DO menu and do FILL, you'll see the circle be 
    filled with lines. You've just added the third dimension on the circle.
    
    All you gotta do now is add a light and position yourself, not too
    close because you'll only see the circle and not too far because
    it will be too small, then set your PAINT MODE to PAINTING and START.
    
    Normally you should see the circle in the default color, to set
    the color you want, just after you have selected INDICATED VERTICIES,
    set the color you want in the COLOR menu , after that go in the
    MODIFY menu and do MODIFY COLOR OF INDICATED VERTICIES. Do a START
    again and the circle should be the color you've chosen.
    
    Well it's really not easy to explain like this but, this should
    work.Oh yes, in PAINT MODE you only got 32 colors so if you want
    4096 colors you have to select SNAPSHOT or PHOTO MODE.
    
    Well try that and tell me if it worked..
    
    	See ya.

2941.5Different maybe?42820::BOOTHSimpson,Simpson...French is it?Mon Sep 25 1989 10:2411
    Stephane,
    
    Well I did what you had told me to do, but no luck I'm afraid.
    I did notice that some of the comands from the Pull down menus
    were different.
    
    I managed to get the picture of a circle with the lines coming out,
    but couldn't colour it in.
    
    Thanks,
    Rob.b.

    	The editing display is always a wire frame. To see color you
    must render the picture.
