propstuff Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Start in plan view For 1/4 of the whole diamond; Place 3D loci at each of the verticies where the planes intersect Select only the verticies from the top plane of the diamond Go to Front view Use the side elevation view to raise the top verticies to the correct Z height. Go back to top view and select the verticies from the next level down. Go back to front view and move those into the correct Z height. Repeat for all the verticies Go to a 3D view Use the 3D Poly tool and snap between the verticies to make each individual face of the 1/4 diamond. After you have all the faces, select them all and Duplicate Array circular to make the other 3/4 of the diamond. They all should meet up with no gaps. If they don't it's probably because the original verticies were not exactly in the correct location. You may need to use the general snapping/ moving/ array tools etc to make sure they are sitting exactly on 1/4 spacings After they are all in the right place select them all and Add Solids to make one thing out of it all. Apply the texture to the Solid Addition This one was done in VW10 I think Edited November 17, 2011 by propstuff Quote Link to comment
