Ok, i'm totally new to light wave and when i first opened it, i got lost just by looking. Where can i get some good tutorials for the modeler (version 7.5 i think, or version 7). I'm really looking into things such as monster modeling to make monster with it off the top of my head. All tutorials greatly thanked for and thanks in advance

i was wondering if there is a helpfile i could locate which explains every single tool in LW7.0 or LW7.5

rich_is_bored · 16-08-2003, 05:20 AM

Yeah there are online manuals in your Lightwave directory. They are in Adobe Acrobat format (*.pdf).

Tab to activate subpatch mode.

R4s1n · 20-08-2003, 09:33 AM

is it because i have LW7.0 that when i activate the subpatch all the original lines and vertices turn green.... i mean it still smoothes it out though but can i change the color of subpatch because this is what i get and it gets laggy

R4s1n · 20-08-2003, 09:35 AM

Sharp · 20-08-2003, 03:04 PM

Sharp · 20-08-2003, 03:05 PM

btw wat is classed as a 4 point poly? i thought it was a poly which only has 4 points like a square. but i hav no polys over more sides that a square and it still says i got 4 point polys.

DigiMatt · 20-08-2003, 04:13 PM

R4s1n: the green lines is the subpatch cage, to turn it off press 'd' and uncheck 'Show Cages'

R4s1n · 21-08-2003, 09:22 AM
