Simple UFO Tutorial by e-s-d

The Spline tool is fairly simple to find - there is obviously some assumed knowledge, including how to start the program, how to place a light, how to use object handles, etc.

While I see what you're saying, if they can't work out which is the spline button, they're going to have more problems than following this tutorial!

Cheers for the comment though

"Right". But if you've created it in another, no worries, just use the Object Axis tool on the spline while it's inside the lathe object and rotate it round until it's correct

try it on Linear with the per-step rotations, see if that does it.

Just select the light, hit "Functions" and pick "Duplicate". Adjust as desired

Once you've set the selection, it'll place a little red/orange triangle next to the object's name in the object manager. Click it and it'll open it in the properties pane. You'll find the name there, most likely named "Polygon Selection". Just change it there.

By the way nice tut ...and an additional question how do you texture a selection seperately if not using split?

Wow! Muchly appreciated! Thanks!

You'll find the lathe-object creator where the red arrow is. Place the spline inside it, as I've circled, and there ya go.

Thanks for the too!
