Chain Link - LightWave Tutorial

[MultiWolfproductions]

Thanks for the tut...how about rigging the chain so that the links act separtely from each link? applying bones to make it move?

[DJBFilmz]

@MultiWolfproductions You would probably know better about than I would. I use LightWave to model and render. I do very little to none animation/rigging.

Thanks so much man!

@HikariChi03 Glad this video is still helping people :-)

making a chain link is much simpler-- make a toroid, select half, and stretch the middle

[jlpMedia1]

or you could just go to primiatives > more >toroid...

[jlpMedia1]

LW has a tool in the primitives tab called superquadric... hit the 'n' key to bring up the numeric window and adjust as you see fit. delete half the polys, extend those points out and mirror the entire obj. your 7 minute chain link just became a 13sec masterpiece.

Wouldn't Rail extrude or stretch after a Lathe have been faster?

[DJBFilmz]

Never tried it, I've always done it this way.

[somegermangeek]

To use the lathe tool was my first thought - also, that would give you a nice regular "roundness".

[BiOjOe1]

Thanks. nice tutorial but the sound quality was terrible. My speakers were up full blast and could only just hear you :P

Well done anywho.

[DJBFilmz]

I know I'm sorry about the sound, it will be much better next time.
