The same method of smooth shift and stretch will be used for the tail as well. Now select the polys in the center of the bill just like you didįor the wings and smooth shift and stretch them in to make it look as Smooth shift and drag to make the bottom of theīill. Use smooth shift and stretch to get theĭesired look and shape that you want. The wings and model by dragging points to get the desired look. To give the wings more definition and depth. Not to select the polys on top) and smooth shift and stretch those in The general shape select the polys that outline the wings (make sure Stretch them out to get the general shape of the wings. Select the poly’s on the sides of the object and smooth shift and Once you have the general shapeĭown it is time to start making some of the more prominent features of If you object is centered then the points on More fluid and organic look and start moving points to get the general Using the tab key sub patch the model to round it out and give it a Several cuts using the knife tool down each axis and one close to theīottom to add geometry and make it easier to manipulate later on.Ĭenter the object and turn on symmetry so that you can work on both Panel when creating the box to set the size of the object).
Like most objects you will start by creating a box (use the numeric You may want to take a few minutes familiarizing yourself with these tools if you are new to LightWave 3D.Ĭreating and Prepping an object in LightWave 3D for 3D printing The majority of the object will be made using the drag, smooth shift and stretch tools. For this tutorial I am creating an animated style penguin.
LIGHTWAVE 3D PRINTING HOW TO
I am going to go over how to create a basic object and prep it for 3D printing using LightWave 3D. For the tutorial and full size images visit the tutorial page. For the purpose of the blog post I have included all of the text but reduced some of the screenshots to thumbnails. James White from our previous post has been generous enough to share some of his vast expertise with a tutorial for LightWave 3D.
