I need to create a mesh. I have a spline and basically need a mesh thats the shape of the spline, not a square mesh inside the spline. Kind of like ofsetting the spline progressivly smaller and doing a rulesurf between each offset. I need it to be a mesh so that I can edit it in 3DSMax.
anyone>?
Thanks in advance…
I wish I could help… but I had to comment because my bird’s name was Peepers (RIP)
Good luck
I cant help you with 3D studio max, but i can help you with solidworks, pro/e or catia.
word I suck at teh 3D max…solidworks or inventor i could be helpful
are you drawing it in 3Dsmax? Or importing it to 3dsmax?
importing to 3dmax
well now u tell us
lol i sux, still cant figure it out though
basically i want a mesh thats not square
Are saying the problem is… you draw a 3D object with a ‘surface’, export it to a .3ds format, and then try importing it to 3dsmax where it isn’t interpreted as a surface, but as splines? In otherwords, you can’t apply a material/bitmap to it?
