Dennis_Gavin Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Any ideas of how to create this light symbol? Needs holes in the tube to let light pass through. Just thought that maybe two thin semi-circular walls joined into room with windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan_Son Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Would definitely use primitive solids. Video shortly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Here's a crappy video. Not full instructions but hopefully enough to get you started. Sorry it took so long, my upload speed is WAY slow. http://screencast.com/t/GPujt2Vp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_Gavin Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Michael - I think that is better than my idea of walls and pass throughs. I was getting the results but not as easily. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 You bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 You can also use a material with transparency to achieve this: It saves you some polygons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Due to time constraints I used an image. Robert - how did you go about your process? I cannot tell from your picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Due to time constraints I used an image. Robert - how did you go about your process? I cannot tell from your picture. The symbol is just parts built from primitives - took about 1 minute. I created the Material texture image in Genetica (by Spiral Graphics), but it could just as easily be created in Gimp or Photoshop using the Selection tool to select areas to make transparent; then save the image as PNG file to preserve the transparency and use it in the Chief Material.
