yeah, it confused me at first. I am still getting use to the whole thing, like Subpatches wont work with polygons that dont have 3 or 4 sides which messed me up since I didnt know.

Randuin 2003-02-21 10:39 PM

lol well how do you do it then for polygons that don't have 3 or 4 sides? (i wouldn't know... i don't use LW :D)

Acer 2003-02-21 10:47 PM

just have them selected and hit Tab. my model now looks good except the parts without 3 or 4 sides.

Randuin 2003-02-21 10:48 PM

oh you didn't fix it? :D i thought you knew how to fix it... hehe nvm :D

Acer 2003-02-21 10:54 PM

well I can fix the ones that dont have 3 or 4 side, I just have to spilt them into more polys that are 3 or 4 sided. Just by useing the knive tool well.

Randuin 2003-02-21 11:16 PM

lol well i dunno =\ why don't you just go with subpatch modeling?

Acer 2003-02-21 11:55 PM

What do you mean? I am useing SubPatch

Randuin 2003-02-22 01:41 AM

are you now? with weights? i dunno... but it thought you started with a box and went from there? isn't that polygonal modeling?

Acer 2003-02-22 10:38 AM

Well at the end I just add subpatches, and I will work into detail with them. I did start from a Cube

Randuin 2003-02-22 10:53 AM

nod i didn't :) i started with points and then i just patched them in

Acer 2003-02-22 10:54 AM

I wanted to start with points, but I dont know how to work with them yet. Now that you said you did, I need to find out.

Randuin 2003-02-22 10:57 AM

well you just place points select them hit "p" and voila you have a polygon of some sort :D

Acer 2003-02-22 10:58 AM

make sure only 3 or 4 points are selected?

Randuin 2003-02-22 11:00 AM

not really but yes if you want them subpatched later :)

Acer 2003-02-22 11:03 AM

well I am going to make a new Model doing this, thanks

Randuin 2003-02-22 11:06 AM

np btw you really want a reference picture :) trust me

Acer 2003-02-22 11:28 AM

Since you said that, how do I import a pic into LightWave so I can use it as a reference?

Randuin 2003-02-22 11:36 AM

err ask chruser :) i don't know the exact operations :D

Acer 2003-02-22 11:52 AM

Sure, I will just look it up :)

Randuin 2003-02-22 02:23 PM

try getting the books by dan ablan they're really good

Acer 2003-02-22 02:50 PM

I plan to get http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846

Randuin 2003-02-22 04:03 PM

you should :) it's a great book

Acer 2003-02-22 05:53 PM

Yeah Zelaron is the one who gave me the link to it.

Randuin 2003-02-22 06:08 PM

:P i have the book right now and it's helping (although i'm not even reading it... teehee)

Acer 2003-02-22 06:14 PM

You know what else would be good, takeing a tut and reading it(while recording it) then play it while you sleep over and over... I bet that would help :P

Randuin 2003-02-22 06:16 PM

lol i don't know :D i've never tried listening to anything subconciously

Acer 2003-02-22 06:22 PM

lol, same here but it would be fun just to try it out. I am also thinking of recording my teachers reviews then haveing them play while I sleep, so I can do better on a test :)

Randuin 2003-02-22 06:24 PM

that's how my friend memorize his lines for his drama group... he reads them and record it and then listen to it in his sleep :D

Acer 2003-02-22 06:50 PM

I would think it would work, it wont work as quick as listening to them awake.. but it is a lot less effort :)

Randuin 2003-02-22 06:52 PM

but remember when homer knew all those volcabulary from his sleep ? :D

Acer 2003-02-22 06:54 PM

Simpson? lol I dont think I seen that one

Randuin 2003-02-22 07:05 PM

omg you haven't seen every episode evre made? you... you... YOU!!!!!!!! :D

Acer 2003-02-22 07:34 PM

lol I might of, but that is 300! I dont remember a lot of them.

Randuin 2003-02-22 07:53 PM

i have seen all of them and remember all of them :D

Acer 2003-02-22 08:15 PM

Hehe, nice

Randuin 2003-02-22 08:59 PM

well lol anyway let's get back on topic... i might be able to release live videos too btw

Acer 2003-02-23 12:35 PM

Live, as in while you are recording it?

Randuin 2003-02-23 07:41 PM

ya :) so i guess the LIGHTWAVE CLASSES TONIGHT might actually work :D

Acer 2003-02-24 11:31 AM

That is cool, I need to start exspanding my knowledge(spellcheck). I hear of all these cool things like tablets and recorders, and I am like last to know about em :P

Jamesadin 2003-02-24 12:16 PM
