Title: WWI Trenches
Post by: alokkumar on November 05, 2010, 06:34:11 pm

I am doing a presentation on WWI trenches. I have worked out how to do the actual shape of the trench and the duck boards, I am however struggling with the sandbags and barbed wire. I would truly appreciate some help - even if it is just telling me which tools to use.

Thank You In Advance

Sorted the sandbags, now just the barbed wire to go

If you know how to use the extrude along path tool it could help with the wire

I wish Anim8or can use transparent images. You can take a cylinder and shape it, then have a twirl of wire texture to put around it.

Just use an alpha map, that's what it's for
