- Thanks to those who replied to my last Q about metform and spline patches, but
- I still don't understand how these patches are used in LW.
-
- 1. When working with spline patches, does the Modeler immediatly convert the
- patch to polygons after you're done manipulating it, or does it leave
- a wireframe representation of the patch behind?
-
- 2. Does Lightwave allow you to directly render a spline patch (no visable
- polygon artifacting/faciting).
-
- 3. How difficult is it to create a complex model completely in spline patches
- (disregarding the Metaform tool).
-
- The reason why I'm asking is because I'm trying to decide if I should get
- Lightware or Animation Master. I want to model complex human type figures
- and if LW can do pretty much what AM can do (as far as spline modeling)
- then I'll opt for LW.
-
- BTW: my backgound is *gasp* Imagine/PC.
