there’s DOF on the left but none on the right. I’ve never seen that and didn’t know it was possible. Since DOF depends greatly on the renderer you are using etc it would help a lot to see the scenefile

[Brian Jones]

not enough info (for me anyway) can you post the scene file (or an example with the same settings)?

[Brian Jones]

shift-V to get to the View Settings (or Mode/View Settings in the Object Manager) and choose the HUD tab and make sure Projection is checked

[Brian Jones]

would probably have to see your scene file (or a stripped down version) to see the set up

[Brian Jones]

I can’t see doing it without if you want pipes to remain attached, basically ‘if you want it to look kind of real you have to build it kind of real’ like usual

[Brian Jones]

the text is only 3 lines – probably at a 45° angle, an ellipse (it’s taller than wide) extruded, texture, stick texture, Bend would be my first try

[Brian Jones]

I think it would have to be dynamics with connectors

[Brian Jones]

the cloner is in object/vertex mode and the clones by default are aligning to the normal of the vertexes. Just uncheck Align Clone in the cloner’s Object tab

[Brian Jones]

you want the Knife tool in Line Cut mode

[Brian Jones]

all the materials are rendering in the Material editor as black which usually means there is a missing texture image – you might have to re-find the images (assuming you have them)
