hi there,
im fairly new to editing with Maya,
im trying to build a coliseum type structure,,,( circular walls made of arches)
to do this ive made an arch, then duplicated + joined the arches into a strip.... but im having problems getting this strip to then deform into a cylinder..
ive tried to use a (nurbs) circle as a guide to deform my (polygon)wall of arches but the functions
deform-->create wrap / edit wrap
dont work, always coming up with the error....
(Error: Influence objects must be polygon meshes, NURBS curves or NURBS surfaces.)
the closest tutorial ive found to this are some on making car tyres... any tutorials related to this would be appreciated
as will any suggestions about how to get this effect working....
thanks :bounce:
