@nikidimitrov have you deleted its face

[LTF85199]

Does anybody know if it is possible to model an object using some splines and arranging it like the wire frame on object and some way convert it into a a poly shape? does anyone understand what i am talking about? It is kind of like lofting but more complex, does 3ds max have a feature for this?

[iwkya1]

yea, you can do splines in max.

@LTF85199 sure, close your splines, then rightclick -> Convert to Poly

the thing i don't like in 3ds max is that, that u can,t made you mustl ike drag from square, u can't make like a vertex and then just made from them face, and then edges .

@Mountaind3ws you can create a plane and apply as a texture.

@demian91 you will need to delete the polygon of thoe edges. Top face of the cyclinder in this case

@dsteffens Me either, He should have a link because the site has a gazillion items to choose from.

[dsteffens]

cant find that template on the page :(

[lashister]

u have to do it exact in the shown order to make it work.

make it an editable poly - then delete top/bottom - and only then the loop edge thing works.

thank u for that tutorial. i`d give u money, if i had any. ;)

@Mountaind3ws add a plane and put the texture ( blueprint ) on that.. for instance
