carpalmer Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Working on a long gently curving building with a continuous storefront / curtain wall. Need to make model and I'm looking for an effective way of "building" it without having to go panel by panel, slightly rotating each to match the building's curve. Is there a better way? Somehow applying a storefront to the building's curve? I could even consider mapping an image to the building's curved volume (even though this would not reflect a realistic 3d look). Need your clever input! Quote Link to comment
