how big is big
this must be a common question.whats a good way to figure a normal working size.i'll make an object not paying much attention to scale as a whole,and it turns out huge as compared to known objects.or does it really matter.since theres no limit ,one can get lost. scott

Nope, for most objects, try to make sure they conform to a similar size / scale as when you get to extremes Lightwave can start to exhibit rounding errors (that's why when modelling large space scenes, its a good idea to scale down stars and planets).
When starting to model, the first thing you should do is figure out the overall size of your object and create a cube in modeller of this size. Stick this in a layer on its own and use it as a reference of the overall bounding box of your object. Then try to stick within it. Believe me - it will make life a lot easier in the long run... |
