Hello ppl,
I am a beginner and working hard to try practice tutorials the last 3 days. reading the blender wiki. Googling on all problems i encounter. installing multitouchpad, enabling emulating keypad and I really want to learn Blender.
I am not sure if its just me, beginner. The macbookpro, or the combination of both. But i am really trying hard and spent a lot of time (as in days) effort finding solutions and reading and viewing for days!
I found some ways to work around not having a mouse. but it dont seem to help.
Some of the problems:
- can’t select a top mesh in the center of a wineglass (wineglass tutorioal) and delete it to make it hollow. it just wont let me select the center of the top mesh. it first didnt show it at all, so i thought ok, its not there but later on it suddenly was there.
- don’t seem to have the the buttons window (while i seem to have all other editor types), and therefor
- don’t have access to multires to sculpt in sculpt editor.
- can not find the glass material option under the wrench icon/material/surface/new it just doesnt show the option new under surface.
…
Is there anyone that know how to solve these questions and mostly some good advice in how to work around stuff having a macbookpro. I can work around some stuff, i found out how to work with alt/swipe in order to be able to turn the object all ways. but this right and left mouse button seem to be an unsolvable problem.
I really hope someone can help me or point me to information i need to work through. Googling hasn’t gotten me too the right info so far.
I thought it should be possible to work the basic tutorials but they are a nightmare (although well made) with not having the right menu and clicking possibilities.
All help much appreciated, i hope to find that its still possible to use Blender, i really would love to do be able to work with it and make videoclips in the future.
thanking you all in advance
