Never used lightwave but I'd make a cylinder with some divisions in height, scale diameter of some of the verts to make a lip and and ident at the bottom etc. Just basic shape of a pop can. Then just make a texture in photoshop or whatever your 2d weapon of choice is, slap it on the can with a cylindrical texture projection. Sort out the poles with a planar texture projection, light scene, hit render and voila. Down to the pub for a pint of boddies, job done.

If you know what to do and are just after the right buttons to press you might want to try the lightwave forum.

p.s Are you the A.S.H.W.I from Redissue?

The secret dies with me.







No, seriously, post this in the Lightwave forum. The answers lie within.

What exactly is it that you're having trouble with? Modeling the can? Surfacing? Lighting? The more information you give, the easier it will be for someone to help you.
