Essential LightWave 3D- P4: What you have in your hands is, quite simply, a collection of tools and techniques that many professional LightWave artists use every single day doing what we do in our various fields. The tools and techniques explored in this book are essential to creating the caliber of imagery that you see on film and television and in print and video games. | Chapter 3 Figure 3-64 Figure 3-65 Looking more like a logo.

The more you drag the more the text will be extruded. 7. Press Return to accept the effects of the Extrude tool see Figure 3-66 . Note Depending on which direction the surface normals of your polys to be extruded are facing dragging one way will create the new geometry with their normals facing out which is what you want most often or in which means you re seeing through the outer surface of the object seeing only the insides which can be cool for faking the effect of volumetric lighting .
