I
am new to Moray and POV and am having difficulty creating bent
tubes. I am
trying to model a Mountain bike handlebar and other "bendy
stuff"
such as the cables and frame.
Thanks in advance - Jayholly.
If you want to
model (not
script) your objects, and also do this in a modeller that can export to
Moray
format, try TreeDesigner at http://www.algonet.s
e/~jhubert/TreeDesigner.
Although TD was
meant for
trees, a bike-frame can be easily created with TD.
Note: TD does not
model
"real" curved/bent objects, but rather approaches
"bendedness" by putting together lots of cylinders: The more
(and
shorter) cylinders, the higher the "resolution" of the
"pipe" and the less visible (and soon invisible) it is, that
the pipe
is assembled out of lots of small straight cylinders (actually the same
concept
as it underlies the usage of triangle-meshes to create smooth shaped
objects:
The more triangles, the smoother...)
Greetings,
Johannes.
