- > Need to make a 7 piece jigsaw puzzle. What is the best way to go about it?
-
- Just make a box the size of the entire puzzle (you may want to use a
- picture from DPaint or something for reference as a BG image). Trace
- each puzzle piece from the BG image by simply Making Points, then make
- them into a polygon (or a spline you can patch later for more detail).
- Do this for each piece, and you'll have a jigsaw puzzle nicely put together.
-
- Then just selcet each polygon individually, and cut each one to a new
- layer and save it. If you don't move the pieces and give them all the
- same surface, then you can texture map the whole thing in 1 shot (I
- think...) Then you can have them fly all around in Layout and come
- together just by moving them to 0,0,0.
-
- Good luck!
