WWI Trenches
« 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

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
