No one knows?

[Stu]

well, im completely mystified as to what your actual problem is. what am i suppose to be looking at on the screenshot?

and for your own good i wouldnt bump your threads, you will wake the mods up

Ahh sorry.

The problem is that the shatter won't work, neither won't other deformations. The picture shows all the the object attributes.

[SHIVMOO]

put the shatter in the object. not the other way round....
shurely you would have played around with this anyway!! oh well

[Xeo]

Oh scheisse Thanks alot!

Now there's only one problem left, if i have made this with a spline, and i would like it fat like a real bass, how do i do? could someone please explain it

[Stu]

are you wanting to give it thickness?

you are looking for the extrude modifier if thats the case?

[Xeo]

I want it to be more fat, so it looks like a realy guitar, now its 1 mm i want it to be like 10 cm.

[Stu]

not sure if its called this in c4d cus im a max user but look for a modifier called extrude

[SHIVMOO]

select it, go to structure then extrude near the bottom, then select the amount you want t oextrude it (make shure you have the polygon selected!!) and then click ok. then go structure> close polygonal hole, and click on one of the side point and it should close it

Thank you :-)

I always get problems this looks freaky, anyone got any solution?

[SHIVMOO]

i dont understand what you think is freaky about it... maybe say what you did and what uoi thing is freaky... for all i know it could be a hat...

I want it to be more fat, so it looks like a realy guitar, now its 1 mm i want it to be like 10 cm.

I want it to be a guitar, and a guitar is more round, and this one is misshapen on the top...

[Stu]

your right, that is pretty freaky looks more like a gravy pot

[SHIVMOO]

what tools did you use??
like splines ect.

[Xeo]

Linear spline, loft nurbs & extrude

[SHIVMOO]

try doing it again.. this time turn the loft nurb item 90 degrees on the p one..
and centre it in the guitar then put the guitar splin under it.. see if that helps..
