Ira Krakow's Halloween Mask Using Bezier Curves Blender 2.49b Tutorial

[GengoNoTabi]

I am trying to curve model in 2.5 with Bezier curves. I can't get them to change to a mesh, show up outside of orthographic mode, or respond to any type of normal blender operations.

Umm I have a problem. When I add a curver i don't get those controller lines at the ends like you do. Why?

how would you make an object move in a cirlce around an object? im new to blender and i really need some help on that.

[irakrakow]

@11tyleragent11 In the Curves and Surfaces panel, from F9 (Edit buttons), look at the CurvePath (makes the curve a path), CurveFollow (let the curve follow another curve), and PathLen (the length of the curve path). Also, ask on my Blender 3D forum for a more detailed answer.

This functionality works in Blender 2.4x as well. I used 2.5 just so people can get a feel for the new user interface.

great tutorial man

When you see software versions, "a" means "alpha," traditionally an in-house development version of the software. "b" meant "beta," a more refined test version with theoretically no major bugs. The difference? Alpha versions may contain showstopping bugs. Betas should be refined enough to not include any catastrophic bugs.

At any rate, the Blender Foundation is trying to tell you that you're not using the final version of the software, although it may very well be 100% usable and bug free.
