im lost
 

ok to start with i am very new to this ive been messing around with lightwave for about a week and im trying to model the mclaren f1 i have finished splining out one side of the car now this is where i get lost i mirror the the completed side to the opposite side now how do you get all the splines to go from splines to a surfaced object as you can see i dont have a clue what im talking about what im trying to say is go from just lines to something that actually looks like an object?.......

if anyone could help i would appreciate it :)

:eek: oh yeah one more thing how do you take a lightwave screenshot so that i could post it so you can see where im at ?

To take a screen shot push the print screen button on the key board. then open photoshop and paste it.

you have to patch splines to get surfaces.

to do that select either 3 or 4 splines, and go to multiply -> patches -> make spline patch or simply hit ctrl-f.

note that the splines must "touch", so weld points where they meet.

oh and; please use a comma and a period from time to time :D

how do you get all the splines to go from splines to a surfaced object

Download the patching Aiv's

yes, Johnny, that would make it alot easier :D

I have a free tutorial on my site that shows the basics of spline modeling and patching.
