Lofting

[ZFact]

Hi all;

I have attached a scene file, im still learning modelling with C4d

and im just wondering how to close of the top of the wall when

lofting so that the hedge texture raps round over the top.

 

Hard to explain but you will know when you look at the scene file.

 

Thanks

Personally, I would do this as a sweep and not a loft.

Hi Steve;

care to elaborate on how to!

Use a path and a profile spline within a sweep object. Maybe add a noise deformer as well. The sweep object is pretty simple if you just try it out.

Hi Steve;

I figured out the basics of how it works... i remember creating

a brick arch like this... but i cant seem to get the profile to

follow the path! It ends up a weird shape?

 

Any idea why?.. i'll keep playing with it in the meantime.

Its the orientation of your profile spline likely causing issues. I believe the Z axis is swept along the path.

Thanks Steve;

Got the hang of it now... one more thing how do i get the

hedge texture to map over the top?

You should be able to simply map it UVW, however, the map you had looked like it was made to clip-map a plane.
