Others- Too much trial and error needed... Up until now, I still use Trial and Error... Is this releated to Psychological?

Eh, where did my signature go?
Where has my favourite LUL train gone? Maybe it was sent for bolt checking again...

Think it must be working out the texture coordinates so you can have one image and reference different bits - managed to mess up several objects whilst learning but got it cracked now .--

Hi Gang!!All of the above, and then some.I am having to use a healthy dose of trial and error in getting things right. It doesn't help that I'm a total perfectionist and like things to be "just so".My biggest barriers are time and getting access to the PC. My wife's a teacher and uses the computer most evenings for work stuff. Unless I stay up until the wee small hours (which trial and error coding often requires), I just don't have the time to get anything done.Technical Numpty

I think that figuring out initially how the coordinate system worked in objects was the biggest hurdle. Once I realized how to make faces everything else came second nature, except for texturing which was the next biggest hurdle. It's not the easiest concept to grasp until you have a concept of the BVE coordinate system, in my opinion.

Time? Time is a factor, lack of, or too much as some have shown in the past But one thing I have found is I eventually grew to hate my creations.--

Time is definitely a big factor. i tend to leave problematic objects for a week and return to them with a fresh head! Co-ordinates are easy for me sorry! (Hands moving to 25x 5y and 1z to mouse to click! )

stoopid, i think he means that that is what he does when typing in coordinates!
If anyone has a 3d monitor though, could they tell me where they got it Derek kaye

Or he could be talking about the three axis used when creating 3 dimensional objects, x,y & z.--
