Nico: But does that let you specify, individually, the color of each end of the spline and of the connecting line? Besides, it's all done now.

No, Ghost, there is no Gamma Drac. I didn't need it for what I made the map for, and though it'd be maybe 3 minutes tops to put it in, I see no need to at the moment.

Of course. It's just a matter of making the right material.
And the "besides it's all done now" is not valid. Try it, you'll see, it'll take only a couple minutes to set up all the lines again, and it'll be much more efficient and accurate.
With I don't remember which modifier, you can even add your little spheres at the end w/o having to actually modelize anything, and so w/o screwing the stack and losing the spline vertices.

Or you could just use the align tool.

[Taristin]

Hmm.

I always do do things the complicated way...

Doesn't allow you to adjust scale as you see fit, or rotate easily, or animate or... and it never works right. Well, to be bland, that tool is crap.

seems okay for, uh, aligning stuff

[Nico]

To a surface. wouldn't work with Raa's stuff anyway.

[Knight Templar]

Don't we already have half a dozen of these?


Not that it doesn't look sharp.

[Taristin]

No. Not public.


Nico; tried your method, no better. I'd still have to make the little nodes at the end of each line, and the lines themselves are annoying to work with.

I may look further into it at another time, but my map is good enough for me, and I don't care how much Goober nitpicks. I'm keeping it.

[Nico]

You don't have to work with the lines, just the vertices, and there's a modifier that adds meshes on vertices. Ah well, I don't care.

We aren't going to turn this one into another penis frenzy, are we?

[Carl]

nope, we're gonna stay on topic with this one.

Penis. Penis penis penis.

[mikhael]

*heh* Venom's right. If I were setting one of these up in Lightwave, I'd just draw the splines, set them to render and use pointclone to put a mesh on every vertex. It would take about five minutes to set up, then about five hours to tweak the render settings (because, lets face it, I suck at rendering).

[Ace]

*ahum* File for release?

[Taristin]

Why should I even bother?

[BlackDove]

Exactly.

Because you don't want to see a grown man cry?
