Does anyone have any tips on how to model a golf ball in LW2.0? Those little dimples are killers! The ball will be seen close to the camera and it may or may not spin – so I don't think any sort of mapping is in order… But if someone knows of a way I can achieve realistic looking results with mappings.. my ears are wide open. If I can't do it with mappings I'll have to model the dimples… How? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark. P.S. Also, I have to put a phrase across the surface of the ball. It should dip into the dimples just like a real golf ball.
