It's not quite finished yet. It looks OK so far.

You don't need to mirror the detached face. Detach the face, copy / paste. Move the face out of the way, and there is another one underneath. Join solids, and merge selected points to put the old face back on the model.

If you stick to what the tutorial does you will be OK, but when you get into Anim8or a bit further you will find ways to bend the stem, and if the points go out of line you can move them back into line later. But for a beginner you should just stick with the tutorial.

Personally I think it is better to select some faces, then edit / detach faces, so that you have a separate label. Then copy paste the label, and move it forwards a tiny bit. Join solids/ merge points to put the old label back on the bottle again, keeping the new label as a separate object.

General Anim8or Forum / Re: invisible window frame
« on: December 25, 2009, 03:38:59 pm »Pincho, looking at this frame in a bright light does reveal that the paint is not even over the whole thing, probably caused by the painter and the paintbrush not having uniform pressure during the stroke. also different bristles might have been stronger and made a deeper ridge than the softer bristles around them. flecks of dried paint make bumps in the paint. old age can cause peeling or bubbles.
I'm sorry, but looking in a bright light at brush strokes is not what you have represented in your image. You have represented an entire two tone stipple effect over the whole room, including the laptop. The carpet looks like plaster of Paris.

Why would the window frame have a speckled texture anyway? It should be plain.

Well Sketchup can export 3DS, so you could import into Anim8or. But I have not heard good things about sketchup's 3DS export so good work.

Or get Lithunwrap, which I find is a better way to texture models.

No, you can fix it in a UV Mapper, like UV Mapper, or Lithunwrap. Unless you can actually see both sides of the image in the texture, then you can just flip the images in an art package.
