    I'm sure they are wonderful. Unfortunately, none of my available players will display the video, so all I get is the audio track...

    GSpot is an excellent application to use to identify required Codecs.

    You just point it at the file and it tells you what is required, whether or not is is already installed, and where to get it if you don't.

    Google it or Go Here

    For the one multismooth.wmv tutorial I had to install a new codec. Here are my comments on this one:

    1. Finn was using GMax v1.1 so the Material Editor is totally different from the one used in GMax v1.2. It may be a bit confusing to the viewer since it is totally different from what they will be using...

    2. Finn's use of the Gizmo to move the UVW Map around is IMHO not the best method. Better would be to add a UVW Unwrap modifier and the UVW Editor directly. It is much more precise.

    The other two (.avi) require the tssc (TechSmithCodec). Both are quite well done and illustrate edge turning nicely.

    The reason he did it that way was to have an easy method to get a basic lineup of multiple parts in one go, something you can't do as easily with an unwrap modifier unless you merge parts. Back in the old days (2002) it was good enough since detail wasn't as good as with today's meshes.

    BTW, that He115 is by yours truly. I was quite happy that Finn did the unwrapping for me.

    Cheers

    Another nice program that can play these videos without messing with codecs is MPC-HC: https://mpc-hc.org/

    I am unsticking this thread due to the use of older technology for the videos, old techniques, and dated content.

    The videos are still available in the library.
