- >>Hey folks!
-
- How can I make a bird's nest with LW? Can seem to get it to look like a nest
- make out of twigs or straw. Can anyone help me out? Greatly appreciated!<<

- You can do it with polys by:
-
- Sketch out half a cross section, something like
-
-
- .
- .
- ....
-
- Make it a curve and freeze it to get more points. Kill the poly, or
- cut and paste all points. Do a "points to polys". Jitter to get some
- randomness. Lathe it with appropriate number of segments. Jitter again
- as necessary.
-
- With a little work, this can look great, but the poly count can get out
- of control quick.
-
- In layout, adjust the particle/line size to get a good look.
-
- Hope this helps.
