Well, Lightwave doesn't have a default cube, so I have to put one there. ;)

Actually, I did have a cube with lines on it after 10 minutes. It helps me lay out my decks. ;)

Really need to make the switch to 2.8

Scott, nice.  I already had that in my Blender 2.8 tip list on YouTube.

Post by: Prime_8 on Apr 03, 2020, 03:00 pm
It seems 2.8.. ?  now has a simpley way to run with most of 2.7 ish shortcuts and such ?

I'm lucky in that i have no real memory of 2.7 really . Just the odd use now and then

Even though I don't use Blender, that was still cool and informative. I should be able to apply that to Lightwave.

i know rite. this 1 video has changed a bunch of stuff I do now.

I'm gonna have to use the laser at work to colour print be the bi 14 x 17 cheat sheet I'm obviously gonna have to make now.

I used to just be amazed a control-click face linked connected faces while selecting .... but so much more in the last week has entered my head .. and most has promptly left it too .. but now I know the things exist.

I'll have to change how I do things ... and I'll have to watch it again to remember how to do some of this.
