Lightwave 3

What can I say about this week’s class?

I feel it was probably my most successful yet; I managed to do the assigned tasks, eat something and go home all in the one day and with minimal need to swear, threaten or break the computers.

The major focus figures with a low polygon count. Easy enough done following the instructions. The real treat is pushing the Tab key and smoothing out the edges on the figure.

The Boolean and bevel tool were the ones most commonly used, as well as the symmetry function for creating multiple things that look alike, in this case arms and legs.

We used the text tool I had limited success in bending it however but am fairly sure that I'll get the hang of the bending and stretching later, until then I had a word that looked like a tornado.

A few extras that I added to my polygon person I put in butt cheeks and a helmet. I'm not good around childish temptations and the symmetry function made it so easy with the click of a button or two and the dragging of the mouse.

Next week more work.

well see it hasn't turned out to be that difficult after all has it?
