beginner cant see skin after pressing make unified skin

[ron m]

i 'm sure i'm just missing something - but when i've built a zpshere form and i hit make unified skin - the yellow lines zip across the top of the window indicating the calculation progress and when its done- nothing - no skin can i see - please tell a newbie what he's missing.

thanks

:confused:

i'm a newbie too, but maybe you'll just have to turn on 'preview', after building your skin?! (shortcut: a)

thanks lowkey - but i think that preview key only refers to the adaptive skin function - correct me if i'm wrong though. any way it doesnt seem to do any thing when i hit it and then unified skin.

any other suggestions?

Go back up and open your tools palet up and look along the bottom line. You will see a new skin there with a name .....skinned on it it or something like that. This will be your new skinned model. Just click on it to select it as your tool and there you are.

good luck!
