Ive Never understood on how the sunlight seems to seep through the walls even though their perfectly put together just makes me angry trying to fix it

a trick used in some of the newish TC creations

im not 100% sure why this happens and the only suggestion i can think is to place an object along the seam or mash the edges of objects together, but even that may not cure the problem.

how to snap objects together so they are perfectly aligned.

how to create the cartoon effect like in aones track and a few others.

Snap tool works the same as snap to driveline. Its just a case of getting the right distance for any given object. For example, grab the concrete roof variation 2 and set the snap grid to 4m. Selct the roof as your target. Then try snapping other roof pieces around that piece using the snap tool. You'll soon grasp how it works.

Forgive me because obviously I am by no means a skilled creator but that just seems like a hassle trying to set the grid for every object. Why can't you pull an object close to another and just hit snap and have the edges snap together. It would be nice if you could snap your cursor to any corner of an object and then move that object and snap it to another object. Maybe I am asking too much here. I use autocad everyday so I might be spoiled with having tons of snap options.

What I would like to understand it:

When you group objects together (say a bunch of fence pieces) and you go to move the group, the camera flies to somewhere else on that group and I can't see where the ends are to line them up.

I hope that makes sense. Basically I want to grab the end part and line it up to the next group.

Editor Settings: disable Focus Camera

wow you just made my year, thanks man. The camera is the most annoying part of the editor HD and evo!

I'd like to understand the other functions of the object info data source. Position and angle are easy and we all use those, and others like hit points I've never used but I understand. But then there's ones like "side X,Y and Z". Not a clue how I would use these

1 way of getting a cartoonish atmosphere is to have the main camera on a different effect then get a custom cam to further enhance the colours. Its an awesome method to get even stranger looking worlds. 1 of the things i really cant get is scoring? Getting accurate numbers so the bar doesnt exceed the line. I stink in math!

I still can get it to work too despite the explanations and directions.



How to OPE 2 objects, example: A robotic arm moves with a saw rotating simaltaniously, kinda like on "Pump It" on SP with the mechanical arm moving down with a saw-drill thingy etc.

each moving object or group of objects needs an ope
appart from that you just need some datasources with global coords
