Need Help In LW Making A Cloud


Maximius

Recommended Posts

Im trying to model a three dimensional cloud, not really a cloud its going to be a bunch of tree foliage but it will look like a cloud before I texture it. I tried taking a 3D sphere and warping and dragging it around with the Magnet function but this produced limited success. So my two questions are:

 

How can I change the size of the sphere of attraction of the Magnet, I tried setting it in Numerics but I get confusing results.

 

 

 

Secondly, is there a better way to change the surface of this sphere than with Magnet?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

I don't know about LightWave, but Blender has a Displace function that allows you to distort an object using a texture. Perhaps LW has a similar feature?

Unfortunately I have no idea Orb, sounds complicated for a newb like me.

 

that looks like what Im after though!

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
