help modelling a tv-controller
Hey. I'm trying to modell my TV remote control. As I'm still very new to Ligthwave I don't know how to do this.
If you look at the picture you can see it's like a four edged bump that comes up by the arrows and I'm not quit sure how I could make that bump. I was thinking MAYBE: freeze the object and then move around the points to make the shape of the bump and then smooth-shift and pull it out a bit.... As I said, I'm not sure and I want to do it the 'good-way'. Hope to get some answers.. :blush: |

I would say create a box, with 1 segment on the y axis, and 2 segments on the x axis, so it divides the remote in two vertically, but isnt divided in any other way....
then go in with the knife tool and add the other segments, so that you can place them manually, where you would like them to be if you look at the remote, the buttons are more or less in 3 vertical rows, and 10-15 horizontal rows, use your knife tool to divide the box above and below each row of buttons, and on either side of them- thats a good place to start- iv included an illustration of what im talking about- its very rough..... but just add cuts and extrudes as you need them |
