ok, i downloaded Blender, but i couldnt even figure out how to do anything, I found Import Wings 3D, but then, trying to find the file is hard, cause it tells me to put in the exact location of the file, and the file is saved on my Desktop in a Folder. So i dont know how to use Blender at all… :sad:
Don’t worry, be happy…
OK to load your file when clicking on import .wings one of the window will switch to a file browser. Use the P buttonto go to the root of your disk(or the “…”, which you can double click or middle click to activate) the go in document and setting -> your name -> desktop -> your folder and open you wings file by double click or middle click.
in any case, you don’t need to enter the path by hand.
you canno do repeat taper so sadly it’s not possible to use taper to do so.
but anyway this steps for regular taper:
do the follow:
1-Add a bezier curve in add >> curve menu.
2-switch to edit window with F9
3-click the 3D button on the Curve and surface panel. This will enable you to curve it in all direction.
4-quit editmode (TABKEY)
5-add a bezier circle in curve enu again.
6-quit editmode again.
7-Reselect your curve.
8-In curve and surface, in the BevOb textfield, type in “CurveCircle”. <- case sensitive.
9-See you curve being wrapped with the circle, so you get a pipe.
10-add an other bezier curve like the first one.
11-in links and material panel change the name in the OB textfield for something easy, like “tape”.
12-reselect you pipe and enter the name “tape” in the TaperOb textfield so you use the previous curve.
13-reselect your “tape” curve and enter edit mode (TABKEY)
14-move handle arround and see the pipe moving.
