My Board

Yeah I might have to, I think the way you do it gets a lot more complicated when you have to use two splines instead of one big one like in the tutorial.

I would agree that the thread is a bit complex, it should work though but with some more extra work.

If you need a simpel thread use the one from the tut <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... igwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' /> should be ok then.

If you now select the outer edges and extrude them a bit and [b]replace them you should come up with this result.[/b][/align][/quote]
What did you mean by "replace them"?I tried this with your threads and then same thing happened.

That actually looks really neat lol.

Well I know one thing I was doing wrong on that ^ one, that's why it looks a little bit better.You wouldn't mind doing a video tutorial on this would you Dren?It shouldn't take but 5 minutes to recreate it, no?

a Video tutorial of this written tutorial?

Yes sir. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /happy.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'^_^\' />

Alright, give me a few... I'll even add audio lol

Do you know how frustrating it is when you make a video tutorial that's a good 15 minutes long and your screen recording software crashes while it's saving? I'll get this to you soonish .. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... #>/cry.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' /> I'm real frustrated right now.

It's okay bro, take your time.And thank for doing this BTW.

You need to make sure the outer edge of your thread is even, what I mean by this is that when you duplicate it several times every point is in a straight line. When you bend them they will make a nice circle. If there's no straight line you won't get a nice circle and not a good tire.

Does this make any sence?

Eh, kind of, but I think it might have something to do with the spacing, do you have a bigger picture of the unwraped tire then the one in the tutorial?

Also when I do the duplicate part it brings up more options then are listed in the tutorial.:

Keep in mind this tutorial was written with C4D R9. We are on R10 so some things will be different.

What I've been doing is settings it to linear, enabling only Z, enabling Instances, setting copies to 104, leaving Per Step on, and setting Z to the size of my threads.Is that how you did yours Dren?

Yes, that's exactly how I did it lol. My copies was a different number though, but that shouldn't matter.
