Edge Mode in Lightwave
It has come to my attention that I have never even used edge mode in lightwave, and then I started thinking to myself, does it exist? So can someone please answer this (EarthQuake hopefully, since I know he uses LW and has gone to the trouble of helping me out before): Is there an edge mode in LW8 similar to the one in max… -

Blender got edge mode around 2.30. -
Re: Edge Mode in Lightwave
Not sure how badly you want edge tools nor whether you'd be interested in spending a few bucks, but Modo makes a great compliment to LW for this stuff. Luxology is currently running an awesome promotion for LW users too where you can purchase a Modo license for 300 bucks, provided you have a valid LW serial #. I could… -

[ QUOTE ] What are Epic using to create Unreal Engine 3 assets, I wonder... oh, Max. [/ QUOTE ] They use 'whatever gets the job done'. If you want to use Lightwave there, up to you. Afaik some people there were using Modo too. [ QUOTE ] I don't get why anyone would use lightwave for anything other then say technical… -
Re: Edge Mode in Lightwave
It doesn't exist (yet) =] Anything edge related in LW is a work around or faking it. The tools try to approximate edge-like behaviours and functionality but LW has no real edges or tools to edit them. They are working on it though. -

Hehe, yeah, among other things. ;] -
Re: Edge Mode in Lightwave
Yeah as gwot said there are no edge tools, if you want edge extrude there is a workaround tho, make a 2-point-poly, and extrude that... But then you have to merge points, and unify polygons because it will make them double sided.... Really lame shit. -
Re: Edge Mode in Lightwave
Yes, unfortunately, when I installed the .p file, I realized that I already had the tool in the Details tab (I obviously use LW8). Can't wait to have actual edge tools though -
Re: Edge Mode in Lightwave
I think you'll find Max is also perfectly good for high-poly modelling. What are Epic using to create Unreal Engine 3 assets, I wonder... oh, Max. Also, as a person who uses Maya for work, I'd argue that out-of-the box, Max has much better polymodelling toolsets (applicable to both high- and low-poly modelling). I'd need… -
Re: Edge Mode in Lightwave
I don't get why anyone would use lightwave for anything other then say technical modeling it does have good tools for that . XSI or Maya are the only 2 full fledge modeling packages that meet just about all needs out of the box . Max is good for low poly modeling .
