#Modeler Bug
3 messages in this thread
If you go into Modeler and try to extrude "Productions, Inc." in DomesticText
font, the system locks up and kicks you out to Workbench. I've duplicated it
on two different machines. The thing is, I can make an object that has a
larger number of letters and it doesn't lock up… wierd.

Lance,
Try using the TEXT.LWM macro to do the extruding for you. Just go into
Modeler…hit 'Left Amiga key N' and run the arexx macro in the
arexx_examples\lwm directory. 'rx text.lwm' Very useful for manipulating text
into 3-D.
On your wave object. I wouldn't try to model all the complex curves, etc. just
make an object that is a rough proximity of the general shape of the
wave…then triple and subdivide it so that you've got a lot of polygons to
work with…then use displacement mapping to give it the surface you need. If
you need the wave to crash in on itself, squash the wave and save as a new
object…then object morph from one into the other.
Later, Jim
You should just add that or any other macro you like to the list of macros
with the 'configure list' option. Once the Macros you like are added,
save the list. Running the macros from the shell is not necessary
